it's far from stupid. to get your manager's licence in the world game is a completely different task to AFL ... by the time these managers get to big clubs and win titles and trophies they're already among the best few managers in the world (and the players know this). the world of football management or NFL coaching is an apples & oranges argument.


AFL is so much more small time and insular than football. most of the kids playing have never travelled, never lived, don't have much experience in anything. they have a pack mentality where they follow (often blindly). so you only need a few players not to be onboard with a rookie coach, and things head south pretty quick.
Yes, but same is true of an AFL playing experienced coach. Tony Shaw, Tim Watson, Royce Hart, Kevin Bartlett, Brett Ratten, Murray Wiedeman, Bill Goggin, Wayne Schimmelbusch, Matthew Knights, Darrell Baldock, Bob Skilton. These are just completely off the top of my head - all were guns, most were premiership players, most were duds as coaches losing their players at some point.

Conversely, I could come up with a raft of ordinary players who became gun coaches, the likes of Tom Hafey, Mick Malthouse, Denis Pagan, Alan Joyce, etc.

If you really investigated, I think you'd find that there's no correlation, just like all the other, more advanced "big time", professional sports have found. In fact, I believe it's your kind of thinking about this that actually KEEPS the AFL small time.

The skill sets of playing and coaching have virtually nothing in common with each other. Similar to acting vs directing, programming vs project management, and research vs academic management. The quicker Australia jumps on board, the quicker we'll grow!

Here's a little song I wrote
I coach the Blues; we got no hope
I worry - once happy

Image

Image


Players injured all over the place
Club's a shambles, big disgrace
I worry - we're crappy

Blue ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo oooo oooo ooo

Members stalled at 50 grand
I think we need a helping hand
Please hurry - be snappy

Blue ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo oooo oooo ooo

Little SOS dropped to the twos
Another team that always lose
No depth - unhappy

Women's team, they just as bad
Captain Davey, she so mad
Wants out - so catty

Crippa gonna be next skip
Rest of team like Titanic ship
No icebergs - just slacky

Andy Mac was once a vet
A better football manager, you'd never get
Except maybe, Josh Caddy

As I said we ain't that great
17 just have to wait
Be patient- sooooooooooooooo patient...

Blue ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo oooo oooo ooo

It might be just a coincidence but currently the two side winless on the bottom of the ladder have coaches that have never played AFL/VFL
and I have had just a brief look and there hasn't been any coach that has won a premiership that has not played the game at the highest level

Sure there has been plenty of coaches that were great players that failed but the stats the other way are far worse

Yep that’s a reasonable stat, one that the club were probably aware of when the recruited bolts as head coach. Given Carlton’s current squad and injuries I couldn’t imagine we would be in a better place if we had another coach in place. Our list is a long way away from being in premiership contention, and I wouldn’t be blaming bolts for the state of our list.

Yeah nah I disagree. Bolts has now been to the draft/trade period 3 times. I suggest that every player on our list has had his contract renewed or extended in that time. That makes every player HIS player.

Bolts is also responsible for the players de-listed, traded and drafted. He's responsible for the game plan and morale - for better or for worse.

Sure, call it a young and emerging list, but if you're not happy with quality of the list, you can't blame anyone but the current coaching dept.

Statistics prove that other sports are not comparable to the VFL/AFL.

Clarko, Bevo, Parko, Yabby Jeans, Jewell, Kennedy.

Anyway, shit or good player, playing ability has very little to do with your ability to coach. Two entirely separate entities/abilities.

Hardly ever has a coach who has not played at the highest level gone on to have longevity. Might be that little bit less respect for them dishing out orders when they haven't played. Don't know for sure but that must be close to a reason beyond a coincidence. That history was my only reservation when we got Bolton.

Neil Craig did but at the time Adelaide were very SA centric and didn't take to Victorian coaches for a long time.
