Looks like Michael Voss may be added to the list in the next couple of years. Picked up a bunch of average middle aged plodders as bandaid solutions, when their best players are getting on in years. Black, power, Brown.

Denis Pagan @Carlton

Probably the coach of the 90's - career ruined by an inability to adapt and lets be honest, a shocking list at the Scum

It didn't help that he walked into a howler of a salary cap issue and the club was severely penalised - just after he was appointed. He could barely do anything but trade junk while they were disqualified from crucial draft picks. How sad :lol:

Alan Joyce at the Bulldogs. Hawthorn people will tell you they won a flag in spite of Joyce, certainley not because of him.

Garry Ayres - Geelong, Adelaide, Essendon

Sad thing is I have no doubt that he would seriously think that he will be a senior AFL coach again
