Answer 4

don't forget the 4 premierships at richmond including back to back 73-74. he carried us out of a 20 year drought to the glory years of the 70s. then we sacked him. he is not the first coach to be treated this way.

norm smith is the greatest coach of all-time, 6 consecutive gfs for 5 premierships. multi-premiership coach, alan jeans once said, "there are only two types of coaches in this game: the ones who are sacked, and the ones who are going to be sacked."
