Outrageous coaching moves (that worked!)

[nameless]

Parkin playing Silvagni at FF against Fitzroy in 1993, kicks 10.

 

[Topkent]

Buckley did play him forward initially, and he was garbage

Oh yeah Melbourne fans could have told you that. Doesn't know how to lead or find space forward bud modern footy defence was made for a bloke who reads the ball in the air.

 

[ABSOLUTE MADMAN]

User name to post relevance is high. Danger went God Mode that day

Username to their avatar is pretty high as well.

 

[Always Ballin]

That's the famous game. Neil Craig's futuristic advanced defensive scheme. Terry Wallace with that Hawthorn possession footy.

 

[John Who]

Ben Rutten for Adelaide. He actually started playing his first few games as a forward, with his 3 first kicks being goals! He was soon later shifted to the fullback position and became one of the best and most reliable fullback since the turn of this century!

Leigh Matthews taming Akermanis and forming him into a Brownlow medal winning premiership gun

Wouldn't call it taming... more satiating

 

[Leather Poisoning]

Clarkson turning Brent Guerra into a back pocket player after he made his name as a goal sneak at port and st kilda.

Ablett Snr to FF nuff said

 

[Countrypie]

Tom Hafey naming Royce Hart on the bench in the 73 Prelim Final 40 pts down at half time, Hart comes on takes a few trademark hangers, Richmond get a run on and the ghosts of 1970 come back to haunt the pies. Hart was said to be injured, Hafey had the guts to name him on the bench. McKenna was said to be injured and the pies didn't play him(Mckenna stated he was dropped). They missed 4 set shots in the last 1/4 that Mckenna would have nailed with his eyes shut.

 

[Belnakor]

Chris Connolly moving Scott Thornton forward against North late in the game in round 19 2007, resulting in

When i saw Scott Thorton i was thinking about the game where Connolly left him on Rocca for the entire game to get absolutely monstered.

 

[PowerForGood]

Nic Nat coming back from injury for a big final v GWS without playing a game all year, plays exclusively forward 2nd half due to lack of match fitness, late in the last qtr kicks the goal to put the Weagles in front.

Parkin playing Silvagni at FF against Fitzroy in 1993, kicks 10.

From memory he was only moved there after half time as well!

 

[pazza]

Sheedy in the 1984 grand final did the following:

Leon Baker from the centre to the forward pocket and then back.
Bill Duckworth and Paul Weston forward with Terry Daniher and Paul Van Der Haar going down back
Resting Simon Madden in the 3rd quarter

And they all worked!

 

[HairyO]

He was amazing that game. Couldn't be stopped even with a significant injury.

Significant injury? He rolled his ankle, had a painkiller, played the next week. Hardly what you'd call a significant injury.

He was able to run faster than most of the Hawthorn players too. And jump higher.

I wish my ankles where that ****ed.

Chris Scott must have been reading this thread when he decided to start Danger forward. 8 shots on goal in the first half for 4 goals

Brilliant move. He's just about 190cm and plays taller than he is because of his explosive ability.

He is so strong as well, absolute beast in the gym
