Who was the coach of Richmond when the player wore number 4?
Richmond Football Club is a professional Australian rules football team based in the suburb of Punt Road in Melbourne, Australia. The club was a founding member of the Victorian Football League (now the AFL) in 1908, and has since become one of the most successful and iconic teams in the league.
The player who wore number 4 was Tom Hafey, a Richmond player who was coached by Tommy Hafey from 1965-1976. During this time, the team won four premierships (1967, 1969, 1973, 1974). Hafey was known for his ability to bring out the best in his players, and his motivational methods were highly successful in the late 1960s and early 1970s. He was a highly respected coach and is considered one of the most successful coaches in AFL/VFL history.
In 1976, Tommy Hafey resigned from his position as coach of Richmond and was replaced by Neil Balme. Balme continued Hafey’s legacy, leading the team to another premiership in 1980. Balme remained coach of Richmond until 1987, when he was succeeded by Robert Walls.
