After 38 years a Collingwood coach and 47 years there (as player or coach) Jock McHale finally retired (see our 1949 episode).
We thought it fitting to wrap up his career by having a discussion with the author of the Jock McHale book, Glenn McFarlane.

On the 1947 we have a very interesting year to discuss. Down at Geelong, many many interesting things are happening, Jack Dyer does his best to motivate Richmond. Will Collingwoods last quarter fade-outs occur again this season, and could Jock McHale's position as a coach be under jeopardy? And Fred Fanning puts on an absolute clinic in his final game as a Demon!
