So he was going to put all his energy, tactical energy, into the center square.

And 97 grand final, 98 grand final, the Crows win both of them.

And in the second halves of both those games, they dominate the centre square because one of the reasons is because Blight has this more adaptable view of what the centre square does.

When he leaves, Lee Matthews comes in.

A couple of years away, back to coaching in 1999, and then three flags not long later.

Good formula.

So this was the rehab.

The one I love, though, is Wolsey because he had no intention of coaching when he finished coaching for good.

And so he just becomes the most hardline coach in the commentary box of all time.

And I would argue the most iconic special comments person of the 2000s, Robert Wolsey.

As we say with Blight, Channel 7 in 88, went to Geelong, back to Channel 7 in 95, 96.

Then...

Back to the Crows and then ends up at Channel 10 after the evil fated St.

Kilda stint, which we won't go into.

Wolsey, similar story.

Fitzroy Carlton writes for the Herald for two years, goes to the Brisbane Bears, coaches Richmond, and then...

Goes for his long career with 7, 10 and Fox doing special comments.

Even Ron Barassi had a year out where he was doing play-by-play commentary on Channel 7 back in 1972.

Ross Lyon has done it in recent years with radio and Channel 9.

So it has happened.
