Geelong coach Chris Scott's old-fashioned spray in Round 1 was a glimpse of football's past.
The Cats trailed by 33 points at quarter-time against Fremantle in front of a home crowd, and stared down the barrel of a 0-2 start for the third time in Scott's tenure.
"We weren't playing the way we wanted to play," Geelong forward Shannon Neale shared shortly after they secured the victory.
"I think the word disgraceful was used."
Geelong assistant coach Nathan Buckley said, on Fox Footy, Scott's quarter-time assault was "a four or five out of 10".
Scott's spray was reminiscent of his predecessors, and with that, we've taken the liberty of compiling the top 10 coaching sprays.
4#2 Barassi
Barassi didn't stop there, targeting North Melbourne's Darryl Sutton in 1979 against Carlton.
The Kangaroos' defence was leaking goals to the Blues, and Sutton was in Barassi's sights.
"Darryl, you're a bloody disgrace. I'll tell you why. You've got the bloody football game beaten. You've come down here, not concentrating … I don't mind a bloke going bad, Darryl, but to me it's probably because you're bloody not switched on properly," barked Barassi in a scene from the 1980 documentary War Without Weapons.
Keith Greig was also targeted before the entire group copped a blast.
