Coaching is one of the most stressful occupations in sport, and there is no exception to the rule when it comes to footy.
Over the years there have been some moments that have shocked the sport and others which have sent fans into laughter, with the job sometimes getting the better of coaches.
With footy over for another year what better time than now to count down the best coaching incidents of all time, whether it be brawls, sprays or frosty confrontations with the media.
Yes, we are aware that there are thousands of coaching incidents that were lucky enough not to be caught on film and were probably 100 times harsher than the entries on this list, but we'll just have to work with what we have on record.
A disclaimer before we get stuck into it - most of these entries contain coarse language or violence, so proceed at your own caution.
Without any more delay, let's get into it.
3. Ron Barassi spray (North Melbourne vs Carlton, 1979)
It wouldn't be a coaches incident list without the great Ron Barassi.
The then-North Melbourne boss was livid with his players during their clash with the Blues at Arden Street in 1979, and let his men know at quarter-time.
Starting off with "Darryl, you're a ****** and I'll tell you why" could be one of the most hilarious opening roasts ever put on film.
The fact that Barassi patted his forward-line on the back whilst simultaneously destroying his defenders exemplified the hard, tough nature of not just the great man himself's coaching but the overall nature of coaches in the 70s.
A legendary roast from a legendary coach.
