I'm speaking mainly of players who go on to coach their own club (in the past there were also captain-coaches like Jock McHale).
They're often ex-captains/leaders, John Worsfold, Nathan Buckley, Michael Voss, etc, known for their leadership quality, footy-smarts...usually midfielders, since many consider midfielders the most rounded, most strategic.etc.
What are some of the best ex-players that coach their own team IYO? What qualities in a player make a good coach? What are the pros of cons of having a coach that was an ex-player of your team?
