With Rhyce Shaw and David Teague appointed senior coaches until the end of the season, we have compiled a list of five caretakers that went on to be appointed full-time senior coaches.
Jeff Gieschen (Richmond 1997)
'Unleash the Giesch' was the famous headline when Gieschen was interim coach at Richmond in 1997.
Gieschen took Richmond's reserves to the premiership in 1997 after they finished last the year before. He then replaced Robert Walls as the Tigers senior coach after they lost by 137 points to Adelaide in round 17.
The Tigers won four of their final five games of the season and Gieschen was appointed coach for the 1998 season.
Richmond narrowly missed out on the finals in 1998, but dipped to 12th in 1999, which signalled the end to Gieschen's tenure.
Gieschen departed with a 51% win record, which is second behind Damian Hardwick (54%) for the best coaching record at the Tigers since 1983.
