"Pat Hinds as a junior administrator set up a 10 year plan for the juniors in the late 90s, he got the junior teams out of B and C grade put them into the As and hoped that in 10 years time to have these young boys playing in a strong spotty senior side, lots thought he was mad, he stood on a few toes. the strength of spotty juniors is a credit to him."
Hear, hear! Does he get the credit he deserves or is the usual happenings at footy clubs the order of the day? You know, give the credit to the blokes who benefit from the planning i.e. the coaches?

Sensational coach, I've played 3 coaches and can honestly say there's none better at junior level, IMO.
Last year, coached the 14A's side to a 40 point win premiership & then, as if that wasn't enough, got the 16D's to a Grand Final where they lost by 12 points, after not having a team until Round 3.
Now coaching the U16A's who are having a real crack at finals, he's got two sons, one of which plays in the 16's and one in the 14's.
Also played in a premiership at Spotswood, if I remember correctly..
Any of the Spotswood boys here played under him?
