For those of you who joined the backpocket after 2009, you will not have had the joy of Lucie's extraordinary and all-too-brief column: 'What Dog is that Coach?' Throughout 2009 Lucinda provided our esteemed tipsters with some of the great footy moments, as she tirelessly sought and delivered canine doppelgangers for the AFL's head coaches.
Today, as we hear that Rocket will bark no more down at the kennel, I felt inclined to share some of Lucie's finest with you - a small ode to the departing coaches of 2011.
Just this year, Lucie confessed to me that she wasn't sure what possessed her that year, but that the canine coaches had fulfilled some kind of inner searching. Unfortunately (for us) she has re-directed said searching, but who knows? Perhaps the glut of incoming coaches in 2012 will spark a renaissance. All in favour, comment here.
One of the Backpocket's finest moments. Look forward to Lucinda's renewed inspiration.Does anyone feel inspired to do the coach's shed series with an eye to paperback publishing along the lines of "Blokes and their sheds"?
