Not sure of the reasoning behind this but since 2000, only 3 experienced coaches have won the flag (sheedy 2000, Matthews 2001-03 & Malthouse 2010), all other premiership coaches have been as their first club as senior coach.
Perhaps fresh ideas, new strategy or better player relationships?
Spot on. And only one since Brisbane's reign ended. Very telling. We need to go with a Longmuir or Caracella type.
