He didnt try , he DID. Rip..well done

 

Allan Jeans had a star-studded team in the 1960s, and it is amazing they only won one premiership in their 'window'. 1966, the premiership to end all premierships.

Ditterich, Baldock, Murray, Ian Stewart...

In my best ever 22 this bloke is the coach, just above Leigh Matthews. Sourpuss - yes. Disdain for the media - yes. One word answers that infuriated everyone - yes. But his boys played with a fire and a freedom that every team aspires to but few reach. Who could foget those Hawks of the 80's? Disciplined, tough, skillful, and those 2 or three with flair.

Great coach Yabbie - well done.

His Grand Final Speeches are well worth listening to...Top bloke Yabby.

Met him at a hawthorn Thursday night Sausage sizzle in '89.

He apologized to me for winning the '88 flag but said "in life you must take your chances" Told me Northey was a great coach.

R.I.P. Allan Jeans...you were a beauty...old school, do ya best and do it again bloke.

I happened to be speaking to an ex-St Kilda player from the 60s-70s who was coached by Yab Jeans (apparently only the media called him Yabby). Allan Jeans had four pillars to his coaching philosophy upon which he built everything-else:

1. communication - everyone has to talk to each other & keep each other informed

2. respect - all Club members are due equal respect

3. responsibility - you are responsible for your actions

4. cooperation - everyone has to help each other, on & off the field

My friend recognised that Allan Jeans was teaching his players about life as well as football. I heard Dunstall use two of these four points on TV just last week. He did it almost subconsciously. Those four pillars are now inculcated into the Hawthorn FC, a club that has won nine premierships since MFC's last in 1964.

It sounds like the MFC will not get the current Hawthorn coach. We would do very well to listen to this legendary Hawthorn coach.

RIP Allan Jeans

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
