Yeah, classic example of a great player and leader, intelligent, who understands the game, and would seem to have been a natural at it, but couldn't coach....People forget though and thus Voss is likely to get the number 1 job without any experience as a coach...( which isn't to say he wont be great at it, just that it's a decent sized risk ).
For Richmond, Frawley is the obvious choice, he certainly did the most damage, but that was due to the time we kept him for, so the blame is shared...
Purely on the timeframe he had and the butchery he did in that time, my vote goes to Robert Walls. Appointing a coach who hates the club and trusting his professionalism to win out didn't work.

In Blight's defence, he was trying to change the "culture" of the Club... unfortunately the board at the time didn't want to hear it.

Wayne Schimmelbush (1990-1992) 66 games 31 wins 35 losses for 46.97%. Not that bad by the statistics but after a huge loss to Adelaide in the pre season of 1993 he got the spear and Denis Pagan proceeded to take the same list to a preliminary final & continued to do so for the next eight seasons.
Under Schimmelbush we went from 6th in 1990 to 8th in 1991 to 12th in 1992 & finally to the pre season debacle of 1993.

Mark Williams will go down as one of our greatest coaches ever no matter who we will have in the future.

True, but the fact that they had to nag him to take the job in the first place should have been a warning sign.

And he's our worst coach since 1990. Funny about that, really. Jack's premiership machine of the early to middle 90s puts him above Mark.
We've only had 5 coaches since 1950 though.
Despise you b@stards but respect the culture of your club. If I had to recruit for a coach one of the first I would target would be Williams. Hard as nails and has a record of success but more importantly, has that in bred winning culture of the Port Adelaide football club.
The man was an imbecile....i will never forget the day he played Buddha in his prime out of a fwd pocket for the entire first half and we were getting smashed in the midfield.....he had no idea at all
Wilson was sacked because he was in Stuart Dew-like condition and couldn't beat the cutoff in a time trial.
Bourke inherited an outstanding list and lost a GF in his first season (as heavy favourite). One of his theories was that Bartlett, at 36, couldn't run out a full game so he was played off the bench in his final season (and still kicked 36 goals). The players revolted against him during his second year, so Bourke resigned ahead of the sack.
Bartlett turned over a lot of players in rebuilding the list, and blooded Knights, Campbell, Lambert, Gale, Naish, Turner and Maxfield. Wasn't the answer though IMO, regardless of his indignance at being sacked.
I second the Frawley nomination - lost 31 of his final 36 matches; while importing Brown, Johnson, Cameron and Stafford from other clubs, he really only had Coughlan, Newman, Tuck and Pettifer to show for his 'rebuilding' efforts, with Tuck and Pettifer on the borderline when Wallace took over.

lol good point sheedy>all essendon coaches
Sydney's Brett Scott. Hiding to nothing.
Gary Ayres. Best thing he went to Adelaide and stuffed them up too.
Rhode, T.Shaw and Judge.

It's a fact. Port Power were't around in 1990. There's a club in the SANFL called the Port Adelaide Magpies, but last time I checked a magpie wasn't a lightning bolt, even though they can fly pretty fast...
Geez Timmy was bad.
