Which current coach do you dislike the most?

[Freomaniac]

He's the coach you love to hate!

Nah. I love Ross Lyon. I have posted this before and will post it again.

I will always savour every final under Ross Lyon from 2012 to 2015, even the heart breaking finals losses

Have you heard him talk? And any stage-ever?

So…. it’s just really a “vibe” then?

Got it

 

[jonnobackpocket]

Hinkley is 58 years old.
How many grand finals had Fagan coached Brisbane to when he was 58? How many premierships?

Would have thought years coached is more relevant, wouldn’t you? Fagan had coached 3 years when he was 58, Ken is upto what 11 years? Don’t mind Ken but your point is irrelevant.

Amazing how many people feel the ‘vibe’ as you put it, isn’t it

I’ve invited you to provide an example and you’ve given me Jack sht.

Surely it’s not that hard?

Didnt see Ken holding up the cup this season

Ken Hinkley = total knob.

Yeah he is a down to earth, knock about general all around good bloke- that’s why he is so disliked. watch any of his interviews, almost rolling his eyes because he has to talk to the peasants- not biased are you?? Played in flags for my club and still can’t stand him. Have a look at the poll- but you are right, everyone else is delusional.

How many premierships had Fagan coached Brisbane to when he was Hinkley's age?
Fagan is 63 years old, and we've seen how much he's improved in the last five years.
Hinkley is 58 years old, and he still has time to improve.

C'mon Jonno. We're all a bit biased if we're honest.

I'm not disputing the poll. Just trying to understand it.
You've labelled him arrogant, and so far the reasons you've give is that he "ALMOST rolls his eyes" sometimes?

Show me a clip or something as I'm still in the dark. Within the last 3 years please (obviously there was some carry-on in the box when he was a young coach, but that was years ago).

Clarkson and by a fair bit…

What's your opinion on Craig McRae?
He also played in flags for your club, and a lot of people seem to dislike him.

No issue with McRae at all-
similar demeanour to most other coaches I think, doesn’t come across
as thinking his shit doesn’t stink like Scott.

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.

He's hopelessly out of his depth but I've little against him as a person so I went for Hardwick.

100% agree, we as supporters definitely find it a lot easier to
‘forgive’, if thats the right word, players flaws if the play for our team. I don’t understand why people dislike Zorko so much, maybe I would as well if he wasn’t a lion.
There is not a particular incident, it’s his fact he considers himself a superior human to everyone else in the AFL.

 

[Sully111]

Mitchell sitting second in the poll after such a short time as a head coach speaks volumes.

It sure does.

 

[Poiter57]

The only coach I've ever actively disliked (or had no respect for) was Alan Jeans when he was coaching StKilda and ordered the hit on John Greening. The aftermath of that incident showed Jean's true character (one of stubborn denial and ominous threat) and that meant I could never respect that man ever again.

Current coach ???

Bingo.....

I hate to bring up Ross Lyon. People on here knocked on Ross Lyon for being too old to win a flag.

Yes Ross Lyon is born in 1966. So that means he is 58 or 59 years old.

Ken Hinkley is similar age at 58. Ken has been coaching the power 12 years ago at 46 years old.

The hatred of Hinkley on here is crazy.

Fagan was 63 years old when he got Brisbane that flag last season.

Just because you are 60 years old, it doesn't mean your AFL career is over.

 

[Freomaniac]

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.

North Melbourne Brad Scott is way better than Essendon Brad Scott.

North Melbourne in that 2014-16 finals period was good.

 

[Freomaniac]

Who the hell voted for Fagan. Show your face!

I didn't vote for him.

I can't see the hate of Chris Fagan.

No stand out post game press conferences that have made him a flog or sore loser.

If you are gonna dislike him in any way shape or form, it might have to do with his age. Even then that would be harsh and unfair
