There have only been five coaches in my lifetime (Daniher, Bailey, Neeld, Roos and Goodwin).

Here's my ranking:

1. Goodwin

2. Daniher

3. Roos

4. Bailey

5. Neeld

Reckon Yze, Craig, Viney and Riley might dispute that.

You really think Roos had an easy gig? The Football Department was completely shot when he walked in.  There is no 13th without Roos. He was worth every cent

As I attended the 1964 GF and have been a supporter since the 50s so I have no choice but to place Norm Smith first. Second is Simon Goodwin. A premiership gets you to the top of the list. T

Goodwin. Premiership. Winning percentage. Honest. Daniher. Brought back the resolve and demand to the club to be good. Got the most out of a run of the mill list. Roos. Set up the club for s

Roos & Barassi set things up for Goodwin & Northey but RDB & Roos didn't have much talent to work with (that talent blossomed or was recruited soon after)

But structure was established by both coaches ... A1 important

And Laurie Fowler reckons that Big Carl was the best coach he played under (Laurie was coached by Hafey & RDB)

Bobby Skilton got the team going late in '76 and we were playing well enough to win a final or 2 if we'd got in (missed by half a game) We went on a run similar to '87

I was at Vic Park that day in the last round of  '76 and the Collingwood members stand erupted with joy after the scores came through in the drawn game between Footscray & Carlton

They had long memories from all those Finals losses and they hated Melbourne.  So we hate them and any QB win should always be savoured!

They (the Pies) are our true enemy.  Love reminding Pie fans that we have defeated them in 14 of the last 15 encounters against them in finals ... the red & blue makes them shudder in September

And I've learnt so much about Norm Smith over the years that I feel like he should be on top (but I missed all those glory years - too young)

In the end it's a close call between Northey & Goodwin for top honours

1st - Goodwin (The Flag)

2nd - Northey (Great motivator)

3rd - Daniher (The players played for him)

4th - Barassi (or Roos)

5th - Roos (Or Barassi)

Skilts, Big Carl & Riddles did their very best

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
