Some of Blightys coaching techniques Ive heard from past players are legendary. Took the entire team into a room after a loss and turned all the lights off and went berserk, would pause for a few seconds, then go apeshit in another part of the room without warning.
And what sort of coach 4peats?

Ejecting the video tape out of the VCR and ditching it full pelt at Billy Brownless because he watching a plane out of the window instead of the game footage they were reviewing is still one of the funniest things Ive heardI've heard about that one. Haha could you imagine feeling his saliva hit your face in the dark
Wish we had a stat for player with most things thrown at them. Billy would have to be there abouts
King Dick quietly reminding everyone he's in the running for greatest player and best coach. I understand the love for Hird and Sheedy but Reynolds was blindingly good, by all accounts. Took three Brownlows playing against guys like Chicken Smallhorn, Haydn Bunton and Harry Collier, so probably one of the few cases the medal means something.
Not so sure about his flags, my old man called the flags in the 1940's "firemen and policemen's premierships" as those jobs were exempt from the draft, and Melbourne and Essendon seemed to have a lot of exempt players: that may be sour grapes. Still made the GF a lot and won 3 after the war as well as 1 during it.
Norm Smith the Melbourne hero because he's two thirds as good as McHale. Parleyed home ground advantage into a finals dynasty so good luck to him, but he gets a statue and a medal named after him for being maybe the third best ever coach. Pure politics.
Chris Scott is Geelongs best ever coach. Imagine if they had a decent administration, the Hawks turn advantage like that into 4-5 flag runs.
And what sort of coach 4peats?
Chris Scott did well to get us as far as he did from 2012-2021 given the limited cattle he had at his disposal in the forward 50.Interesting while we are on win percentages, Chris Scott has the 13th highest finals win % of all current coaches.
Even more interesting is Chris Scott does not even possess the highest finals win percentage coached in his own family.
How many AFLCA Coach of the Year awards has Clarkson won?
I know right? I don't get it either. He continually does so much with so little.
They're expecting the poor campaigner to juggle with handcuffs on really
Yep, ridiculous expectations and no gratitude whatsoever for (as these stats prove) an all time great coaching record.
It's a good point, and one not really mentioned as much as just stating that they changed the game plan etc.
Play by the rules=cheats? Lol cope and seethe.
Hawkins yes, one of his best years in 2020 of course but Ablett was on his last legs, Miers just starting out, J Henry was almost always a backman, Duncan & Danger not true forwards at all even if they spent some time there.
His finals record has been (comparatively) a little underwhelming yeah. Another flag would go a long way in evening things out
.
Maybe because despite being there 12 years and being top 10 all-time, he's only had one finals series where Port has won more than 1 final?
FTFY
The Original Kenny.
If Vossy doesn't take you to the promised land would you consider welcoming Ken down to Ikon Park?
