Brad Scott just got named head coach at Essendon. He is the seventh player in the 2004 Grand Final to be a current head coach in the AFL. Among the head coaches are his twin brother Chris at current premiers Geelong, Craig McRae of Collingwood, the AFL coach of the year, and three time premiership coach Damian Hardwick of Richmond. Ironically, neither Port Adelaide nor Brisbane, the Grand Finalists in 2004 have a head coach among that group.
When I watched this game at a Tempe bar, I thought there was a lot of talent and skill, but I saw no indication of coaching skill or talent.
