21 Dick Harris (1964-1965)

This one has me? I was sure Len Smith was 64-65

Anyway, Len Smith was the greatest Tiger coach. He was the catalyst along with GR who took us out of the wilderness into the force we were in the 60`s-70`s.

Interesting, if you go back to `63, its close to being identical to 2009.

Greatest is a bit strong for me given it was under Hafey that those years were realised but deserves to be recognised as planting seed for those Hafey years.

Jack Dyer coach for eleven years on top of playing over 300 games. Talk about a Richmond association. Thats about a quarter of a century at the coal face of the club.

No doubt Hafey was our most successful coach.

I said greatest, not most successful. Hafey is the obvious choice, its only my opinion, but considering where we were at at the time (as bad, if not worse than the last 30 years) Len Smith was a visionary who shaped our greatest ever period. Maybe i should just say, the Smith/Hafey or Hafey/Smith coaching era was the greatest. In that their is no argument.

Are the two Pannams related?

Just reading Rhett Bartlett's book on 100 year of Richmond at the moment; sounds like a) Dyer wasn't a very good coach and b) Alby Pannam was quite disliked because he replaced Dyer even though Jack wasn't doing well. Be like Richo being replaced as popular coach by Tony Shaw or someone.

You must too young to remember Hawthorn in the nineties. We have all had time to digest the hilarity of that one.
