Which current coach do you dislike the most?

[Elixuh]

You don’t watch enough of him clearly. The most open and honest coach there is right now and many have said it’s refreshing.
What you see is what you get… no mask as opposition fans like to claim.

When there is nothing to dislike, you often go looking for something. It must drive non Pies fans mad.

I don't dislike Fly, but he is great when things are going well for the Pies. Sore loser when they don't. The extent of his umpire whining last season was unbecoming. One week he is torching the umpires calling them a circus when calls don't go the Pies way, the very next week the Pies are on the other end and won a game off umpiring calls and he is all chummy. That isn't being open and honest.

Interesting how the profile/current success of the club coached matters with things like this.

I mean Clarko is an a grade ********.

Dirtiest of players.
Punches holes in walls.
Homophobe.
Tries to coerce player's partner to get an abortion.
Abuses umpires at junior games.
All round small man syndrome.

But he coaches North so nobody cares.

+1 vote to Clarko, h8 the tnuc

Honorable(sic) mention to Dimma.

 

[Seattle Mariners]

Who was the one person that voted Longmuir?
The guy is the most 'meh' coach going around.

Nothing against his coaching, just his personality and the way he portrays himself in the media.
Not a likeable personality but certainly not a dislikeable one either.

Will Brodie

 

[Cam Payne]

I think this needs multiple selections.

 

[Bont the Lord]

I voted Ross Lyon...and I have no idea how he isn't far and away the winner.

I guess people are hating on successful coaches (see Chris Scott)...

I'd say it's because of the massive sooks he has in the coaches box

And the ones he has inside your head, going by your profile pic. You should at least get him to pay rent.

I didn't need you to change it. I just wasn't sure if there was a bit of an infatuation with him, which I'd have to question for myself if I started decorating my profile with Bevo stuff for instance.

Alf punch is a solid upgrade - congrats.

 

[76woodenspooners]

No, winners should be gracious and respectful to their direct opposition.

No.

Winners do whatever the hell they please. They won. That’s their prize.

If Kenny wants to rip his kit off and rub his nipples in Vaseline whilst drooling in Ginni’s direction, well, that’s his prerogative to do so.

And if your team don’t like that, that’s your team’s fault for losing. Easy fix. Don’t lose

Yeah, of course Kenny’s behaviour wasn’t particularly dignified. It’s not what I would have done. But the only rule against it is the very arbitrary catch-all of “bringing the game into disrepute” used to keep the broadcaster happy. Hence the fine gentle slap on the wrist with a wet lettuce leaf

AFL Tables - Adelaide - Coaches

=2nd most games coached, with the worst record, at a whopping 35.38% win rate. Most of those over North & West Coast btw.

Only reason he doesn't get votes here, is because he's helped the Crows become totally irrelevant.

Thanks Nicksy

 

[MC Extra Dollop]

Seems a new age softy. I don't hate him but can understand the reasoning. Beveridge is somewhat similar.

Really? I'd say the complete opposite for McRae. I don't dislike him at all but recall things like saying how he was disappointed at his players collapsing to the ground after losing the epic 2022 QF ("acting like losers") and then Ginnivan and Adams coming out to say how coldly their departures were held. Say what you want about Chris Scott, but there's been countless delicate departures for him to navigate over almost 15 years and I can't recall him ever being criticised by a former player.

Hard to argue with what McRae's achieved, considering the expectations at the start of 2022 when he inherited the team, but he strikes me as the sort of coach who'll wear out his welcome quickly as the losses start to pile up.

Honestly shocked he is not number 1 on this list.

Tbf, I thought Dimma would have more votes too, but he coaches GC now, so nobody cares.

 

[NorthernBastard]

Actually, the more I look at this list of coaches, I am really surprised how few of them I actually like/think are good human beings.

Opposite for me. Fair play to him if he'd continued to enjoy success at Richmond. As long as he's at GC, I'd want Richmond to win another flag before the Suns do.

 

[STPer18]

The only coach to have led his current side to multiple premierships put in serious work overnight. Happy to call this one now.

Congrats to Kenny and Port on their win but Karma is a continuous cycle that can continue indefinitely …….. will be intriguing to see who ends up having the last laugh with this one

 

[nineteen eighty]

...

But Goodwin is a real rat, the guy's been done for betting on his own games and went to rehab for drugs and alcohol and no one ever mentions his involvement in the Essendon issue, where just about everyone else was driven out the game or heavily stigmatised afterward. now he's a 50 year old man going to pubs designed for coked up 20 year olds and fostering some festering grot culture at Melbourne.

...

Tough call.

Goodwin for mine as you've described. "Good stuff" Goodwin and his drug use and yet he's completely untouchable.

Chris Scott I detest but respect the fact he's clearly one of the best coaches going around.

Goodwin I detest and do not respect!

 

[tmpies01]

apologies - he is the best coach ever. Wish he was my best mate.

Collingwood are amazing - every other club must be jealous!!

Is that the validation you were after?

No, but you are judging him based off… nothing?

 

[tmpies01]

I don't dislike Fly, but he is great when things are going well for the Pies. Sore loser when they don't. The extent of his umpire whining last season was unbecoming. One week he is torching the umpires calling them a circus when calls don't go the Pies way, the very next week the Pies are on the other end and won a game off umpiring calls and he is all chummy. That isn't being open and honest.

He is the first to admit when his club has an unfair advantage, please. Rarely loses his cool and when he did after that umpiring performance it was pretty justified. Always gives credit to the winning team/coach in his presser after a loss. He’s never claimed to be perfect and at least holds himself accountable (example after the Sydney presser) and still gets torched by oppo fans when he slips up like any normal person would.
Plus there was no issues with umpiring in the week following so why would it need to be mentioned? Goes to show how bad it was. Pies were the deserving winners over Brisbane.

It’s fine to admit your judgment of him is skewed as you don’t watch enough of him because he isn’t your coach.

Well, if karma is a continuous cycle, no-one ever really gets the last laugh

 

[juss]

I found the following pretty unlikeable

Chris Scott
Ross Lyon
Simon Goodwin

and I will always love the 3 flags but I can see how people could find Dimma unlikable too

 

[tmpies01]

It’s jealousy, let’s be honest. When you’re a successful side opposition fans will find any excuse to come after your club/coach. C.Scott wouldn’t cop this much if he wasn’t a genius coach.
