As we head rapidly towards the silly season with nothing useful to discuss for months, here’s a stat to mull over…
Old man Bennett has coached against 106 first grade rivals. Against most he has a strong winning record. 31 have never beaten Bennett in a single match( including Jack Gibson,Roy Masters and…sigh! Teddy Glossop).
Not surprisingly, Bellamy stands out as an exception to the rule, with a phenomenal 74.4% win record over Bennett across 39 games.
But whose record is even better than Bellamy’s?
Better than 74.4%? Is it possible?
Surely not Hasler? The Wok? Bozo Fulton?
Nope. None of these.
It’s none other than our distinguished assistant defensive coach, David Furner.
He’s pipped Bellyache at a dizzying 75%.
Only 8 games you say? Small sample size?
Rubbish! Naysayers! It’s time for Gus (his own win record of 52.7% dwarfed pitifully by the son of Don) to face the uncomfortable truth…Barrett (a solitary win and a woeful 16.7%) has to make way, and Furner be given the keys to The Kennel.
