Battle of the WP coaches !!

WAFL West Perth

Good to see the remaining 3 coaches are from our 1995 premiership team, not only we produce handy players we produce handy coaches.
Also all 3 coaches have coached WP…

When was the last time this happened in the history of our game?

I suggest you ask Chris Groom if Bill was in your 1995 premiership team Falcon. :slight_smile:

Why are people continually confirming what is in the second post? I don’t get it.

The original post talked about the last three coaches standing in a season having come from one club. In 1969 Mal Atwell was coaching PFC, Polly was coaching the old WPFC and the other team in the last three was EPFC, the losing grand finalists. Jack Sheedy coached them.

So the last three coaches had all played at the one club, EPFC.
