Well, if karma is a continuous cycle, no-one ever really gets the last laugh
There is an end to it and the cycle can be broken through personal growth and spiritual practices as it’s an ancient Indian thing. In this particular case it could be this year when Kenny does his little airplane impersonation when flying out the doors of Alberton oval …… I can’t see Port winning it!
 
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.

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

May depend on how gracious each individual expects others in winning positions to behave.

As far as I was concerned, one coach looked like a deadset idiot, while the other very stoically addressed the scene (as he was asked to do), then moved on so no heat was added to an already hot situation.

Was very happy that the latter is the coach of my club.
 
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.
Also took hawthorn players to Tasmania immediately after bushfires to repair fences and help locals.

Did the same in Gippsland multiple times.
Turned up without invitation on numerous farms and said “what do you need help with”.

He then rode his bike from Melb to South Gippsland to raise funds for Bushfire affected communities.

Calling him a homophobe is a stretch. He used a word in the heat of the moment after one of his players was take out, he didn’t denigrate a sexuality.

My cousins kid who was a slated first round draft pick a couple of years ago did his ACL only months out from the draft. The first person to get to him in the rooms was Clarkson to tell him that his dream was not over.

I can see why people looking in from the outside could dislike him, as Clarkson is a hot head, but almost anyone who’s had anything to do with him loves him and can see that he’s a genuinely decent person and his many instances of going to people’s aid without any fanfare is a testament to this.
 
Adem Yze is the dumbest coach I've ever seen, so it's got to be Yze. The stupid idiot could only win 2 games because he couldn't come up with a system that could win us games even with all our injuries, so that's proof of his stupidity.

Why did we get a guy from f****** Melbourne.

But as far as all the other coaches go, although not as stupid as Yze, they're all delusional for believing that they came up with their sides quicker ball movement on their own, when the truth is they all had their special needs met by the AFL to combat the Caracella system that Hardwick oversaw.

The Richmond Emasculation Calamity.

I would give him another year personally. See how he goes without the injuries. From what I’ve seen from him I don’t really rate the guy but maybe it’s not a big enough sample size to judge. This year will be interesting though.
 
I was going to vote for Brad Scott (I think he is doing a wonderful job at the Bombers, it should be at least another 7437 days before they win a final) but I went for his brother instead. :)
 
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.
He also wouldn't whine about being over worked and then take another "leadership" job with his club's sponsor which somehow isn't in the soft cap.

The same story plays over and over again. Success goes to people and clubs heads and once the arrogance builds up to a certain level, it's hard to ignore as a fan. Clarko and Dimma both had it at their old clubs but it is diminished once they moved as it is human nature to pull your head in if things aren't going as well.

There's a difference between pride and arrogance and once you go past it, the public turn on you, especially in Australia.
 
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

100 percent!

It’s the stuff of rivalries.

Footy isn’t sport, it’s theatre.

Obvious answer is obvious...

There's no denying it.
 
The answer is Chris Scott, probably because he is the most smug, arrogant, big headed person in the game. He could work and NASA and would honestly believe he is still the smartest person in the room. Just the way he talks to everyone like they are below him.

Is he though? Genuinely curious. What’s one arrogant thing he has said in the past three years?
 
The Scott pile on here is weird and that’s coming from a Hawks fan!

With Clarko and now Sam over the last 2 decades we never needed another coach …… but I bet every other club would love to have had Scott. Over many years you can pull out small snippets of critical behaviour on any coach or player but at the end of the day Scott has run the club and adapted well during his tenure

As long as his role at NASA isn't included in the soft-cap we encourage Scotty to keep spreading his wings.
 

=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
Yeah, it's surprising Nicks is staying under the radar, 5 seasons without a finals appearance is too long. Maybe their management are playing the patient game with a supposed rebuild of the list? But it doesn't really feel like The Crows went all in on that rebuild, like in 2023 it felt like they relied heavily on their veterans. Bit of a mismanaged mess.
