Bit young to remember his era but did anyone listen to Crunch Time on SEN. He was brilliant. Seemed to take us from 10th to a prelim in 2 seasons but be sabotaged by the board and coterie groups all along the way. He never seems to rate a mention by anyone yet he went on to win another 5 SANFL premierships after he quit the pies. Anyone have memories of that era?

He thought that the port pies could beat us. He was shocked by our lack of discipline. The board had more of a say in the team line up than he did. He was frustrated by the board's inability to listen to him. We bought the best coach in the game and then told him how to do his job. That's why he left.

i was too young to understand what was going on but i did wonder why the stay was so short given he was one of the best coaches going around.

i suppose the above explanation should not be a surprise.
