Did I guys welcome back to yet another video on the truth for the YouTube channel today We're going to be taking a look at some of the worst AFL coaching stints since the year 2000 Now to contextualize this a little bit. It does seem a little bit harsh We're going to be focusing on the coaches that probably have some of the worst win-loss ratios in their time coaching a football club But some of these coaches were undoubtedly sort of entering a club with a list that was clearly rebuilding or you know With a culture that was a bit trash so some of the percentages given are not quite fair reflections of maybe how good that coach was in his role So there's no doubt that some of these coaches were better than others despite what some of the stats They say so this video will be taking a look at the 10 coaches since the year 2000 that performed the worst in their time Now before we get into the content of this video guys would appreciate if you take the time to subscribe if you haven't already Has come to my attention that more than half of you I think around about 54% of you who watch my videos on the last month are not Subscribed on trying to get to 15k by grand final day I'm a little bit behind the 8-ball in that respect But with video help from you guys you could get me a lot closer So if you could take the time to subscribe Anyway, let's get into the video First coach I'm going to nominate is Justin Leppich of the Brisbane Lions who took over and succeeded Michael Voss in that 2014 to 2016 period in which he coached 66 games now over that period He had a win loss ratio of 14 wins 52 losses for a winning percentage of just over 21% The year seven wins in his first season four in his second and three in his final season before eventually getting the flick He took over at a particularly low ebb for the Brisbane Lions 40 Club Of course they had the go home five with guys like Elliott, you know, Jaron Pollack, Sam Dockety Billy Longer and from memory Patrick Carmines as well were the five players to walk out on the club So it was a period where their culture and of course their on-field performances were at an all-time low now As we know Leppich was replaced by Chris Fagan for the 2017 season and of course Fagan's done wonders there But Leppich had a bit of success of his own moving to the Richmond 40 Club and being an assistant coach for three Premierships there next coach we're going to nominate is free mantles Damien Drum for his stint as head coach there between the 1999 season to 2001 and we know Damien Drum did play football for the Jolong footy club and is expected to sign on for the Collingwood job at the end of 1999 as well But instead signed for free now he was head coach there for just 53 games in which he won 13 games lost 40 and had a winning percentage Of just 24.53% of the games he coached now It was important to note that in the late 90s and early 2000s free mountain were in a particularly strong club in terms of their expectations And to that point they hadn't played finals He went 5 and 17 in his first season at the helm and then improved significantly in his second season going 8 and 14 Which is of course three wins better than the previous year but in his third season he started the year 0 and 9 and was Eventually sad he would be replaced by an all-wheel club captain Ben Allen who didn't fare much better in the role But it has to be said looking at Damien Drum's particular stint there It was one of the least successful coaching stints of the modern era the next coach We're going to nominate is Peter Road of the Western Bulldogs who was head coach there between the 2002 and 2004 seasons now Peter Road took over as caretaker coach after Terry Wallace left the club in 2002 and similar to some modern names such as David Teague and Brett Ratton He kept the job for another couple of years But it wasn't a particularly happy time in the Bulldogs He coached for just 45 games had nine wins one draw and 35 losses His winning percentage at the club was just a mere 21.11 percent in his first full season at the club He won just three games and his second season they won five which was enough for the board to sack him and replace him with Rodney Ede who as we all know had a much more successful period of that club now Peter Road is still around today as part of Port Adelaide's football department the next modern coach We're going to nominate is Brendan Bolton who was of course coach of Carlton between the 2015 to 2019 period now going into his ten year at Carlton Brendan Bolton obviously coached for a little bit at Hallform at times as senior coach in the absence of Alistair Clarkson while he was battling illness and he went at five and oh in his short time as head coach This proved a pretty successful audition for the Carlton job as Bolton was appointed to senior coach in replacement of Bolton's ten year at Carlton would last just 77 games of which he yielded just 16 wins with a winning percentage of 28.77 percent it's worth noting he took over at a pretty awkward time for Carlton who sort of botched a bit of a rebuild with Malt House he went seven and 15 in his first season six and sixteen in his second season before dropping off entirely to go two and 20 in his third season he would only last half way through the 2019 season going one and ten before being replaced by David Teague The Blues would then go on a bit of a winning streak under Teague showed some Significant improvement under him, but it's also worth noting that Carlton's form since then hasn't been overly Noteworthy to really vindicate the sacking of Brendan Bolton. Hallform then welcome Bolton back with welcome arms to their club And he's still there in the role of director of coaching next coach worth noting is Matthew Primus of the pot-adlay footy club who was head coach there after a career as a player between 2010 and 2012 unlike his playing career though Wasn't quite as successfully just coached the 47 games for a winning record of 13 and 34 his time is coach Included goal coach first ever win in an afl match against pot-adlayed in round four of 2011 at a stadium After a promising start to his coaching career in which they went five and two under him in his first season His team significantly dropped off the following year to go three and 19 in 2012 pot-adlayed with five and 13 and following a six goal loss to the GWS giants Primus was sacked the power went on to make the finals the following year in 2013 and then all the way to a prelim in 2014 which more or less justifies the sacking of Matthew Primus as head coach next coach on the list is Mark Nielde of the Melbourne footy club who coached between the 2012 and 13 seasons and mark nild was one of these coaches I alluded to who it's hard to know if we ever saw the true ability of mark nild as a head coach when you come into a club That was so broken both culturally and performance wise He lasted just 33 games in the role for five wins 28 losses and a winning percentage of just 15.15 percent Given Melbourne's experience issues on the field it made sense when mark nild came into the club and loaded up on some experience talent Like Shannon Burns, Chris Stores and David Rodin But it didn't quite translate into wins on the field and they went four and 18 in his first season And then when they were one and ten the following season he was promptly sacked Now like I said it's hard to judge him to harshly given where Melbourne were under the Dean Bailey era just before him But there was some horrid losses under the mark nild era as well including a 150 point loss to Essendon Which kind of demonstrated that things hadn't really improved Following on from that train of thought we will know an 18 Bailey as well for his time as coach of Melbourne between 2008 and 2011 He was head coach for a period of 83 games in what has to be one of the bleakest periods I've seen of a football club in my entire time watching football In those 83 games he had 22 wins two draws 59 losses for a winning percentage of just 27.71 percent Now despite how badly things seemed at Melbourne There was genuine improvement from the days over the course of his tenure there He had three wins in his first season four in his second before jumping up to an eight win season the following year And then in the year he was sacked there were actually seven one and nine despite this slow improvement the Melbourne 40 Club decided They had no choice but to sack him after a horror 186 point loss to gelong at what is now called GMHBA stadium The lack of competitiveness was a real symbol of the Melbourne 40 Club during that period And it is a stark contrast to the club that is there today The next coach for nominate is Ken Judge of the West Coast Eagles who was coach for the 2000 and 2001 seasons now for context Ken Judge had a brief unsuccessful stint at the Hortholve 40 Club as Seenny coach Was brought to a very successful West Coast Eagle side to replace Michael Maltes house And that club had failed to miss the finals at any point throughout the 90s There's no doubt that Judge was left with the drags of what was a very very good sides throughout the 90s And then his 44 games he had just 12 wins and a draw after a record of five wins in 17 losses in the 2001 season It was promptly sacked a replaced by John Worcful as we know the West Coast Eagles were draft Chris Judd that very off season and go on to a very successful period for the club The ninth coach on this list is Brenda McCartney of the Western Bulldogs who was coached between the 2012 and 2014 seasons It's interesting to note that Brenda McCartney remains one of the few senior coaches ever to have never played at the highest level But he tracked a gig as senior coach and managed to hold on to it for 66 games of course only winning 20 out of that 66 for a winning percentage of 30.3% In his three seasons they went five wins, eight wins, seven wins before he was sacked and replaced by Luke Beverage Luke Beverage took them to sixth in his first year as coach before winning the premiership the year after Final coach we have on this list is Alan Richardson from the Sanctuary Football Club Who would have one of the longest ten years of any coach on this list as he was coached between 2014 and 2019 Richardson was appointed coach of the Saints after Scott Waters had an unsuccessful stint as the Saints tried to rebuild from the post-Ross Lion era He coached for 126 games for 43 wins, two draws, 81 losses and a winning percentage of just 34.12% The Saints were no doubt really building when he first took over They had four wins in his first season, six wins in his second season And then some market improvement with 12 wins and then 11 Following that the Saints almost dropped into what could only be described as another rebuild with just four wins And then in the final season of his career he was sacked after the Saints were six and ten midway through 2019 As we know he was replaced by caretaker at the time Brett Radden who then signed a more permanent deal And of course took the Saints to a final's run in the 2020 City That's it guys that is ten of the worst performing coaches of the modern era Let me know in the comments what you think I got right or what you think I got wrong Or is there a coach out there that I potentially missed Stay tuned for future videos including the more positive spin on this video The ten most successful coaches since 2000 I'll get working on that very soon Like I said before guys would appreciate if you dropped a sub just help us to get closer to that mark of 15 000 subscribers By grand final date that would be an absolute wet dream Thanks for watching guys and we'll see you in the next video
