Sometimes stats can be deceptive, I doubt it applies in this case!
This discussion within a discussion started because you made a comment about Malthouse being too focussed on tagging and destroying player morale. The first point cannot be true if we look at the Pies 2011 season, and the second is pure conjecture. The Pies players seem to like him well enough. I'm not sure what his flag / game ratio has to do with this discussion, but anyway........
I guess we should be very worried about Bolton, because when it comes to being defence minded, he could be Mick's evil twin.........

All discussion that involved some form of opinion without a suitable measure or test are opinion.
That is why the stats are relevant, they are an objective measure of one coach against their peers.

Im not usually a naysayer but ......
I dont know how much to make of our wins. A win is a win and ill take winning ugly anyday but my biggest concern after 2 jlt games is that if both the aints and dawks had of kicked straight, we would have lost both games comfortably.
Im happy and excited at our list and our continued progress but ive still got a few reservations of how far we have actually come...... thus far.

Yes, agree, but it's still early days. Cam Bruce stated quite clearly that he wasn't happy that too much of the game was played in our back half. As I said earlier, still much work to be done. But there's little bits of improvement here and there, which simply has to continue.

Like there is only one coach to make it to 300 Home and Away games without a flag!
AFL Coaches Tables
Prior to that last Pies flag, MM had one of the worst coaching averages in AFL/VFL history for a premiership coach with so many games under his belt!
Okay so for coaches above 700 games the average number of flags is 3
So it is a strange state you are taking from the history of coaches a pool of 7 and saying their average is, it hardly counts and then there is coaching in the modern era with the number of teams compared to the era of 12 teams.
Most coaches that have a career coaching record above 50% have a good record as a coach, those above 60% are elite.
I am not a fan of Malthouse, but he was successful at the Bulldogs, Eagles and Collingwood, he was just completely awful with us

When two all time great coaches fail at your club it's obvious where the fault is.

And extra credit should be given to the one coach who achieved even modest success, despite the crippling dysfunctionality pervading the entire organisation.

There isn't a Carlton fan anywhere that doesn't love Simmo, and everything he's done for the club, everything he's achieved, and everything he represents. But he should have retired at the end of 2016. Every player reaches the end at some point, and his last couple of seasons unfortunately represent diminishing returns, at least IMO.

Agree.....with no Docherty he will be more important doing the rebounding, Richmond with their fleet of small forwards might get him to gear a bit earlier than usual.
