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.

2. Alastair Clarkson vs MCG wall (Collingwood vs Hawthorn, 2012)

Clarkson. Fist. Wall.

Despite his side being 16 points up against the previous year's grand finalists, Alastair Clarkson couldn't help himself when he decided to test out the strength of the MCG coaches box plaster walls.

To be fair, it was more a palm to the wall - impressive all things considered - however it still left a rather extensive job for whichever plasterer had to patch that one up.

Better the wall than an assistant coach, however.
