He's going to be forever known as one of those "not quite good enough" guys.

Some would say he's a trailblazer.
We knew that was the case 5 years ago.
Yet somehow he's hidden his contract and won't let port find it to tear it up.

The fact that a guy that has never coached a team to a Grand Final, let alone won one, has won the award twice shows just what a joke award the AFL Coach Of The Year really is.

It's a bit rubbish. The award is the Mchale for shitters.

Clarko has never been coach of the year despite 4 flags, and as a young coach beating the coach of that year with a 23-1 record going into the GF, and Clarko out coaching him

You could almost understand him winning the award early in his career, when he'd taken over from the shithouse Primus years and well and truly exceeded expectations. Him winning it in 2020 was a joke though. Sure, we 'exceeded expectations' that year too, but the reason expectations were so low in the first place was because of his crappy coaching the previous 5 years. It's like naming Ralph Wiggum the smartest kid in your class because he finally managed to go a year without eating paste.

His contract should be pissed on like that scene from the movie Major Leauge!
The first year was fine, new coach etc. etc. At least then also our position after finals was superior to before them. No coach making finals should be in the running for coach of the year, if they finish lower after finals than the home & away. How on earth he gets rewarded for blowing finishing top to out via a home prelim loss is mind-boggling.

The coach of the year is awarded prior to finals. On that basis, it's very hard to argue he didn't deserve it in 2020.

If you think that's the joke, then the added punchline is that Alastair Clarkson has never won it....let that sink in!
He should have won worst coach of the year 2015-2019

The All Oz side is picked after 22 home and away games and journo's, commentators and footy fans used to jump up and down that the coach should be the premiership coach, not the best coach for the home and away season. So the AFL changed it, think in 1999 or after end of 1999 season and the All Oz side gets named in SF week and the coach after the GF.
When the Coaches Association was set up in 2002 they decided their first awards in 2003 they would select their coach of the year their own way and different to the AFL.

I can picture Hinkley chuffed at home with his coach of the year awards while Clarkson drowns himself in Jock Mchale medals.

Hey Clarko, check out my two AFLCA Coach Of The Year awards.
Mate, I've got twice that many McHales.
Youse know playing finals is overrated, right?
