Longmire has the chance to equal him this week.

Yer Clarkson would be a modern day great up there with Mathews if he wins this week, Hinkley i have no doubt will get to a GF with that group.

Agree but well done to the Horse

After our 1-3 start s**t would of been hitting the fan i reckon.

Horse has done an amazing job. To think that he has introduced to star forwards and youngsters such as Cunningham , Lloyd and rampe to a premiership team is remarkable.

Great job of fast tracking the game plan to accommodate franklin and Tippett this year.

Horse has had his doubters but a win this week will have him as an all time great so early in his career

 

[Punts]

Speeeeeedddddddddddd

 

[RW]

Hope he achieves the double of coach of the year and premiership coach like he did in 2012...

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Speeeeeedddddddddddd

Yep we learnt a lot from 2013.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Actually thought Brad Scott would have got it but they usually give it to the minor premiers

 

[MarkP]

Interesting choice.

Thought Hinkley was the best. Clarkson, Scott also.

Can't knock it though. Finished top into the big dance, can't do more than that

Hahahahaha, that's a good one.

Longmire has the chance to equal him this week.

If the Swans win, Longmire will have coached his team to two flags within his first 100 games as coach (the GF will be #99).

Thought Hinkley was the best. Clarkson, Scott also.

Apart from declaring Robbie Gray the best player in the AFL, Hinkley's had a brilliant couple of years now. He certainly seems to have instilled the right attitude at Port.

 

[Grongey]

I was critical of our coaching and list management last year, but I think Longmire and team have turned it around this year.

Deserved winner, but Clarkson must have run him close all the same.

 

[SM]

Hinkley a bit stiff to be honest, but well done to Horse!

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Hahahahaha, that's a good one.

Look most of the teams up the top were there, such a mini award though. I would prefer it go to the coach that improved the side the most thats all.

 

[Dangas]

Well done John!

 

[Swajn]

I would have thought that the Hawks not losing a game when Clarkson was absent hurt his chances.
Well done Horse!

I'm not convinced he can coach. Arsed his way into a couple of finals, beat top teams when they were out of form or injured, laughably bad against bottom sides.

Toss up between Horse, Clarko/Brendan Bolton, or Hinksmeister

Looking at the list that was given in the article, it bodes well for our chances this weekend. Of the 11 previous winners, 5 have gone on to coach their side to a grand-final victory. In fact, every second entry on that list represents a coach whose side has won the flag that year. That is, unless you swap 2007 and 2008 back into their proper positions (error of the article). A good omen, methinks!

Any of Horse, Clarkson or Hinkley would have been worthy winners.
