More than 1,200 men have coached in VFL/AFL football, yet only 6 have lead their teams 500 times or more. They are the very best leaders of men, creators of dynasties and moulders of myth in a century of Australian football. Kevin Sheedy, a stalwart of 24 years at Essendon and winner of 4 premierships. David Parkin who lead the Hawks, Carlton and Fitzroy with distinction. Tom Hafey, the irresistable force which forged the Richmond legend: 4 premierships in 8 years gave birth to 'Tiger Tough'.
Allan Jeans, the youngest-ever senior VFL coaching appointment, who delivered St Kilda's only premiership in 1966 and later assembled a dominant Hawthorn team that flattened all in its path. No single man encapsulated the national potential of the AFL more so than Ron Barassi, who took the helm at Melbourne and then Carlton, before creating North Melbourne's first ever premiership team. And, finally, the late Jock McHale. If Collingwood is the best-known, most successful club in Australian sport, it is due to the incredible efforts of McHale, who coached the Magpies from 1912 to 1949 and won 8 premierships.
