Shocking how the Dockers treated Drum. No one deserves that.

Deserves it

Shocking

Watching Drum & Blights humiliating exits make Clarkson’s look like a badge of honour.

[@OhAeroHD]

I remember Drum being the worst coach. Bloke was down to earth and really didn't deserve to be sacked like that.

[@TheArsenalMan125]

Insane he was 42 at the time. Litreally looked like he was in hsi 60's

[@dougharrison7844]

Caven;s revenge, went to Adelaide and won two flags. Ironcaly beating St Kilda in 97 that would have been a huge chance with Lockett in the team.

[@bluecent]

Drum. Sought the quiet life. A Nationals politician.

[@robdowsing3361]

Not quiet life but when he gets older he will have a great lifestyle

[@scroggin92]

Malcolm Blight going into lockdown before it was cool

Norm Smith being sacked surely has to be up there

[@jennymark7403]

The truth of tony locket move was , he was sitting down to sign with the Saints when Collins rang his manager to get him to Sydney, pen in hand about to sign Hession his manager took the pen off him took him outside to say Sydney offered heaps more and a greyhound track for him, deal done

[@jeremybean-hodges6397]

In AFL memory, the most unexpected announcement I can remember was the merger of Brisbane and Fitzroy. Till then, everyone thought the North Fitzroy Kangaroos was a sure thing.

[@JimmyR2023]

From footy coach to a high flying pollie! Really

Fair Bloody Dinkum, sacking Malcolm Blight, St Kilda are a hopeless club. They are like a club from some outback country league. Today's AFL is very, very professional and clubs have to live up to the professionalism or die. I'm a Geelong supporter, our club had to bite the bullet and get our act together. It has paid off well.

[@twomindz79]

He only had them at 3 wins .

[@heathRocco]

Lol as if Peter Caven would have forgiven Lockett for smashing his nose 😂

[@grantmonaghan810]

Schimelbush was sacked because after the game in the change rooms, he said a very crude remark to one of the Krackours, so Arnold Briedus stood up and knocked him out. That’s the REAL REASON he was sacked. My uncle was a talent scout for North, and witnessed it.

[@DylanFoster87]

Imagine Lockett and Richardson together

[@SonofthePhantom]

Freo likes stabbing their coaches in the back, maybe that's why we're rubbish

[@kye9735]

Blight was not fit The president was on the coke

[@kodymcguinness-qi3bk]

Old drum was off his guts

[@JeffBurn-b1i]

Richmond aren't close to being competitive for finals. Look at 2013-2020 West Coast, Richmond and Hawthorn were the power in the competition. Look at the ladder now, it's a cycle and Geelong's damwall is closer to breaking then others might realise.

[@effkay3691]

Blighty, distant, aloof, vague…which he’s been his whole life. Catch on quick at the Saints with their 1 flag.

[@someguy7775]

St Kilda should not have sacked Alves in 98 after making the grand final previous year that's where it went downhill Watson wrong move they needed to give blight time

[@pweb4941]

no room for jezzas sacking?

[@AlonsoRules]

Wtf were the Saints thinking getting Blight. No wonder they have only one lucky flag in 130 odd years of existence.

[@Leeviii2024]

Who knows Blighty might of got them that elusive flag eventually!!
