PUNT ROAD END | Richmond Tigers Forum

I had the great pleasure of having dinner last night with a keen football devotee, in fact, he once worked for the AFL.

Incidentally, a free plug to Kanzaman, Lebanese Restaurant in Bridge Rd, Richmond. Great food, drink & service.

Anyway, we got down to the key factors that determine the likelihood of whether a candidate for a senior AFL coaching position will win a premiership.

Heregoes:

1. Has played in an AFL/VFL premiership team.

2. Has had a senior assisting role outside of his original club.

3. Must have come from one of the 4 major bloodlines of AFL/VFL premiership success - Smith, Hafey, Kennedy or McHale.

4. Must have played in an accountable position, preferably on the back or half back line, or defensively on the ball.

5. Must be a good communicator.

There are a couple of exceptions, but if your candidate fits this criteria, then you are probably looking forward to premiership success.

How do you think these fit?
