What are your thoughts?
I was surprised to see Norm Smith ranked at number 20, honestly I thought he'd be higher.
Bentley, Worrall and Kyne are the only names on this list I'd never heard of.

Genuinely impressive given the crap sides he started and finished in.

How many of them are premiership coaches?

That’s really the only number that counts at the end of the day.

Sheedy's percentage would be a lot higher without his GWS days.

5 people who played or coached at Geelong, you gotta give them credit for being assiciated with so much success.

6 people who played or coached at Richmond. Dayum.

Kenny has done so well to have a win percentage of 60 given the supporters hate him and he's working with a bunch of spuds each season.

Yet the coach with the best win percentage of all time is a Geelong coach.

Wait til Dusty starts coaching.

Incorrect. There are plenty of coaches with higher win %'s than Scott. Neil Mann coached Collingwood to a 73.48% win record for just one example. This is above Scott's win percentage. Scott is not even in the top 2 Geelong coaches to have coached at least one whole season on this stat.

Plus the same matter that produced Scott also produced his brother at the same time, so you need to view their coaching records in combination, as they are identical. 60.8%. Not even in the top 10 for long term coaches.

Norm Smith coached South Melbourne for 4 seasons from 1969 to 1972 with a win/loss record of 26-61 despite a finals appearance in 1970. Finished the last 2 years with a spoon and a second last finish.

The more clubs you coach, the more likely your great winning record slightly declines I'd say. Look at Clarkson now. Malthouse a strong record but finishing with Carlton etc.

Do we want talk or di we want room for heckling?

Long mire higher than Jean's is bloody hilarious.

Not to mention that after his temporary sacking in 1965 Melbourne started its quick slide into oblivion. 1965 to 1968 at Melbourne also dented his record.

It's the same with Barassi. He went to Melbourne when they were a 5 win team and Sydney when they were also terrible.
