Pretty interesting stuff, to say the least. Good research, GTC Old Son.

Be interesting to break down these figures even further into, Years As Finalist... Number of Coaches.

Adelaide could have won a premiership and lost a coach through tragic circumstances... a coach who'd probably still be there if not for that.

Constancy sure does help continuity and building cohesion/culture. But we've had the same assistant coaches for years now and I notice clubs with the same senior coach for an extended period regularly 'refresh' the assistant coach ranks.

It took 6 goes, but I suspect the Aints have found their man. I watched the short video on the AFL website featuring Ratts... really interesting stuff re player feedback and Ratts' approach and approachability. He's learned much over his journey and already had a good base to build upon, in regard to his understanding of the game and a natural high strategic intelligence.
