Geof Motley - Port Adelaide 1959.
Does Stephen Williams count - when he took over from Cahill mid-season?
Mike Patterson did it in his second year at North
Didn't at least one of the Central coaches do it recently? Clarkson?
And whoever it is coaching Central this year is in his debut year as well.

Yeah... Clarkson in 2001 and possibly Roy Laird this year.

The Immortal Ken Farmer in 1949.
He was reserves(seconds) coach in 1948 as well as Haydn Bunton Snr's Assistant (although I don't reckon they were called that in those days).
Alby Klose in 1920 (okay I am pushing my luck now.)
