OUR GREAT GAME | Tasmania’s State Premiership Coaches Bourn or for the double Geappen. One of these coaches will join elite company on Grand Final day when they coach their team to the Wrest Point State League premiership. Who will they join and what does it mean? The list of great coaches is long and brings back memories of great football battles past. Some of the names that stand out amongst 73 premiership coaches include: • 24 Tasmanian Football Hall of Fame members (marked *). • Many champion VFL . AFL players who captain – coached in Tasmania, epitomised by Jack Beveridge the Collingwood star of the 1927 to 1930 era; Carlton colossus Fred Davies who led Longford to their only triumph and more recently the arrival of Sydney Swans team mates, Mark Browning, Steve Wright and David Rhys – Jones in the 1990s. • Great coaches who helped their Tasmanian clubs achieve their most memorable moments, including Bob Wilson at Scottsdale, Rod Olsson at sandy Bay and Ricky Graham at Ulverstone. Leading Coaches The leading Tasmanian state premiership coaches almost exclusively achieved their records in the period 1909 to 1951. The only exception being the much maligned <strong>Clarence</strong> coach of the 1990s, Grant Fagan. It is arguable that the two regional format of the early years allowed coaches to more readily achieve their results in a short time frame. In the first Tasmanian State League the gruelling nature of the competition made long-term multiple premiership coaching much more difficult. This makes Grant Fagan’s and the other multiple premiership coaches of that era achievement arguably more meritorious. Similarly, when the State Premiership format moved to 3 regions from 1954 to 1978 it also became more difficult to achieve multiple premierships. In this regard the achievement of City . City-South coaching maestro, Bob Miller, is significant. He first coached City to a state premiership in 1954. Then 18 years later, in a second coaching stint, he took the Redlegs to the 1972 pennant over Darrel Baldock’s Latrobe.

City – South - 1954 and 1972 The Final Word Tasmania’s Head Coach, Mathew Armstrong, achieved the honour of coaching North Launceston to their 1998 State Premiership without being defeated. This was Armstrong’s first coaching assignment and launched his coaching career at AFL level with Brisbane Lions and then for the Tasmanian Devils. Mathew Armstrong offered some reflections for the Record and said it was one of the ‘crowning moments’ in his football career. “At the time it was a great achievement in a reasonably strong competition to go through undefeated.” “As the years go on it means more and my respect for the people involved has become greater.” “Everyone becomes wiser and I realise that it is a significant achievement to be a leader amongst a group of young men, and many others in the wings of the Club, all striving for and achieving the one goal to such a high standard.” 38
