Message: [QUOTE="mal, post: 2098472, member: 1762"] I disagree- Bennett might go about things differently to Bellamy when selecting certain line-ups, some of which I disagree with but he has established the Broncos as the best modern-day team with 6 premierships, from 6 grand-finals in 20 years. He took a just a top 8 team in 2006 to Grand Final glory against a team full of super-stars and his game-plan completely shutdown your supposide "super coach" in Bellamy. Sure Bennett has made his mistakes in the past with blooding players, but also his approach has produced some of the best footy players the league has seen. And he has consistently since 91 produced a top 8 team, his consistency is unmatched. And these are players who don't physically or skillfully have the best thing going for them, but their grit, determination, effort and never-say-die attitude makes them in a league of their own. I'm not saying Bennett is the best coach I do not know this but his record certainly is a compelling arugment. What he does have that no other coach has, and that's the ability to rise to the occasion and get 110% out of his players. Bellamy has alot of catching up to do before I personally consider him in the league of Bennett. He has had a superstar of a lineup at Melbourne and I'll reserve my judgement until I see Melbourne go through the cycle of the salary cap, losing a key player or two, play without a hooker and a halfback for a few years and see how far they get. A Melbourne without Smith or Cronk? Hrmmm... now that would tell me whether or not he has what it takes to take his team most of the way, if not all the way. Not to mention Bellamy has had a very lucky 3 years in regards to injury, hardly any of his key players have been out for extended times which makes it alot easier for him to blood youngsters it's not much of a gamble with full line-up. But anyway... Each to their own. [/QUOTE]
