Opinion Is 2023 the best League of Coaches we've ever seen?

[PhatBoy]

You bullish on the saints next year with Lyon? You reckon he’ll go to his defensive style like in 09/10?

I think he’ll pull out something and they can make finals tbh. 8th spot should be between GC, Dogs, Saints and Port. Lyon is probably the best coach of those teams. Bevo seems to have lost his touch a bit.

They will be harder to beat I don’t know whether they will take a great leap up the table or not, I’m curious as to what happens with Max King as I think if he can kick straight they have a rolls Royce forward: I hope he doesn’t stifle him.

I guess it’s like Paul Roos when he went to Melbourne in a way - you know what he will instill in the side. I feel sorry for Ratten as his record was fine as it was at Carlton as well. He is a decent coach.

Yeah I agree, imo Ross can fix them up defensively with the personal they have but they need another elite KPF to go with King (who also needs to fix his kicking badly)to be competitive, the best sides have 2. I think Harry Himmelburg is a FA next year. I reckon he’d be a great pickup, the tigers board reckons we should get him to replace Jack. He’s kicking at 75% goal accuracy, pretty nuts maybe he can teach King to kick.

Hinkley, Bevo, Dew and Simpson are on thin ice.

Simpson is contracted for 23 & 24.
Our board/CEO have basically swept last season under the rug.
He's not going anywhere.

It’s a Saturday with cricket washed out the golf course closed and nothing to do but smoke darts and sit on my dot.

What else am I gonna do

Always knew you’d be a smoker but cheers for the confirmation. No wonder why we disagree on everything and yet I still think you’re alright. Smokers gravitate toward eachother

Who else are they going to bludge smokes off?

Any list that contains Hinkley instantly makes it Dog s**t.

So one s**t coach outweighs the rest you reckon. Reckon there’s a few s**t ones to be honest with ya

 

[StillAtLarge]

I'm thinking late 80s where you had Jeans, Matthews, Malthouse, Kennedy Snr, Parkin, Walls, Northey (contentious- come at me!) Blight and Sheedy. Hard to top that I think

 

[Tiger2709]

He’s won as many grand finals as he has minor premierships

I was responding to a question in regards a point put forward by Sky, as to why he would be considered a successful soccer coach, it's okay we all love Scotty and his Cats❤❤❤

 

[ioppolo]

Oh ok so it didn't happen then.

If ur bottom again in 2023 then reality might catch up.

Maybe. But if we make another profit and Nisbett stays CEO then 24 won't see much change except for a few retirements. maybe.

On closer analysis the OP is actually spot on.

All-time win records for AFL coaches rankings (total wins):

1. Jock McHale

14. Clarko
17. C Scott
20. J Longmire
21. R Lyon
25. Hardwick
33. Hinkley
39. A Simpson
41. B Scott
42. Beveridge
53. Goodwin
55. Fagan

So 11 of the top 50 of all time are coaching in 2023 - (assuming Goodwin and Fagan make it through the season).

Can you explain what All -time win records actually means?

Chris Scott should have a top 10 rating unless finals are weighted differently?

Not yet. Scott is a far way off in fact

From my reading, he has the highest winning %, and overall %. Can you explain how these ratings work?

I think it's just the number of wins.

They aren't ratings.

Just raw numbers of wins.

Got it- thanks.
Malthouse coached for decades- can't see too many challenging that longevity
