Because I'm bored and want to start a backlash I'm listing this years coaches in order of how good they are in general.

1) Rodney Eade
2) Paul Roos
3) Terry Wallace
4) Neil Craig
5) Dean Laidley
6) Chris Connolly
7) Neale Daniher
8) Neil Craig
9) John Worsfold
10) Mick Malthouse
11) Mark Williams
12) Leigh Matthews
13) Mark Thompson
14) Alistair Clarkson
15) Denis Pagan
16) Kevin Sheedy

The ****'s a mess, has Craig twice.

 

[Hoggy31]

**** list.

Laidley would struggle to make the top 10 and Pagan is a good coach when coaching a good side.

Edited ages ago, keep up son.

Dunno how you can have Thomas at 8. Best list in the league by a margain and failed.

Leave logic out of this please.

 

[Jono]

Passag, Laidley is close to the worst coach in the league; whether it be tactically, trading sense or leadership ability.

Why do you rate him?

 

[Hoggy31]

Bored shitless, So I'll have a go at a list.

1. Paul Roos
2. Neil Craig
3. Rodney Eade
4. Terry Wallace
5. Mark Williams
6. John Worsfold
7. Neale Daniher
8. Chris Connolly
9. Denis Pagan
10. Mick Malthouse
11. Leigh Matthews
12. Dean Laidley
13. Alastair Clarkson
14. Kevin Sheedy
15. Mark Thompson

This is probably worse than 'sags imagined.

Love the bloke tbh, always have. The fact that the kangaroos haven't won 4 wooden spoons in the past 4 years with the most dire of lists is something which astounds me. He will be a 'great' one day imo.

Hmmmm, not so sure about leadership ability. If nothing else, he's a good 'leader', gets the troops fired up and all that, but the rest I agree with.

Mark Williams? No way.

Why isn't 'shitless' filtered.

Certainly hasn't done anything to improve that "dire" list with his trading and drafting.

Shitless.

[Great Birtannia]

Judd will win Charlie despite missing 3 or 4 games.

 

[Hoggy31]

Bomber retained

 

[Great Birtannia]

Keeping Thompson on....one strike.

Appointing Harley captain.......two strikes.

The Cats' on-field leadership group has pushed for and will receive a bigger say over trade decisions, list management and day-to-day football decisions, including a revolving position on the match committee

Wow that is just jaw droppingly stupid in so many ways.......three strikes.

Thompson will concentrate purely on day-to-day coaching next season after conceding he had become distracted by extra responsibilities

"extra responsibilities"

 

[Jono]

I don't reckon his players respect him. Didn't he walk out of a training session one day, and left Simpson to the media wolves having to explain why that happened.

top coaches

worsfold/roos

16 the rest
