When the time comes it's always postponed too long and then when the trigger is pulled it's like shooting Bambi, and divides supporters and members.
It's just not a good idea.
Are these stalwartish enough for you ?
- J Kennedy Sr.
- Parkin at Hawthorn
- Robert Walls
- Jock McHale (long ago I know)
There are plenty of coaches who get sacked who never played a single game for the club.
