Great coaching moments

[Captain_Bender]

Mark Neeld putting Col Garland forward in our 2012 win over Essendon. The horrors they had as he kicked three in the last quarter lol. That loss broke them for the season

Garland played like Wayne Carey that night

Garland played like Wayne Carey that night

Yep I was just stoked we were in it at 3 quarter time then he came out and went bang in the last. It was a great tactic by Neeld, about the only time he showed any nous in the box

Thornley off, Hopkins on.

Young Clayton's gotta win something first

It was a joke

 

[H2F]

Can’t mention names but spoke to an assistant coach recently who changed clubs ... Talked about the difference between how coach A over ruled everything (no success) and coach B told his assistants to run everything their way at the start of the season (multiple premierships) ... Was amazing to hear ....

Alan Jeans “I wish I’d paid the price” speech at halftime in the 89’ GF. Players still talk to this day about how that message sat with them as they ran down the race back on to the ground

 

[Herne Hill Hammer]

Chris Tarrant to defence. What a transformation.

Rubbish, probably the most overrated fullback of the modern era.

Had great guns though.

It was a joke

And mine wasn't?

 

[Herne Hill Hammer]

Blight putting Ablett to fullback on Dunstall after Dunstall had already kicked about 10.

Rhys Jones to Breretton in the grannie
Rhys Jones won the norm smith

Wow... the combination of the Springtime sunshine and the afternoon shadows look amazing in this video.

And mine wasn't?

It was unprecedented

Leigh Matthews telling Akermanis to get at the f**king feet of Lynch in the 2002 Grand Final was a damn good coaching move.

Hell, playing Aker at all ended up being a great move, despite the fact that he came into the match with a stuffed groin.

 

[Scatter]

Liam Jones to defence has been pretty impressive.

 

[dean33]

Dimma moving a young 19 year old kid in his 5th game onto the crows best player in the first half in Rory Sloane. Stopped Sloane on his way to kicking 3 goals himself and a premiership medal. The kid? Jack.

Jack Graham that is.

Bolton reinventing Liam Jones as a once in a generation defender

 

[Nostradumbass]

Thornley off, Hopkins on.

One of the most famous moves in the sport .

Bolton reinventing Liam Jones as a once in a generation defender

While Essendon went in reverse with Cale Hooker.

Michael Nunan made the prophetic quote "We have one goal in mind" before the 1989 Grand Final against Port Adelaide

Posted this before, but it's worth doing again. North hadn't improved at all in 75 years!

Garry Hocking coaching Peel Thunder. Puts all his players in the backline before the bounce

Bomber Thompson and Sandwich.

Second the nomination on Page 1. Qtr time in 2009 GF. There comes a moment when u need to make a serious decision and put your season on the line.
Hayes was off the chain totally. Murdered poor Joel Corey in 1st Qtr (who ended up having 3 good qtrs himself after the coaching move when he was taken off Hayes).
The natural response from most coaches would be to give a tagging job to a lesser player. He didnt take that risk and sacrificed the game of a reigning brownlow medallist just for a tagging job. Another qtr like that from Hayes may have made the difference.
Ran each other around for 3 qtrs and by games end neither would have figured in top 5-10 on the field, with Hayes a runaway norm smith favorite at qtr time.
The Hayes/Bartel matchup ended up a sideline issue in that GF, but decided the flag by cancelling each other out. Notorious big game players now forced to defend against each other, and the best gameday coaching move i can recall influencing the strongest GF matchup in modern day footy.
