Leigh Matthews? probably the most successful player coach combo OAT (Of All Time) IMO, Is there a better one?

Would be the best combo player/coach for sure MOL.  Jock McHale's record is pretty decent but he wasn't near as good a player as Mathews if you go by the reports (I'm old but not that bloody old).    :help   ;D

Barassi is probably another that springs to mind.

Malthouse also loses points for being a massive burke.

Yeah, Malthouse was only an average player.  Barassi and Roos would have been on a par with Matthews.

mal blight was another good footballer who had success as a coach
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.
 
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

Sheedy. Hafey.

I don't think they were in the same class as players compared to Matthews, Barassi and Roos.

Roos was overrated as a player. Nowhere near Matthews as a player.
“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.

sheedy was a an average to good player who worked hard to achieve what he did as a player.
Hafey? mcgualter has done more as a player .

So are my ways higher than your ways,

Yeah, funny you say that HRT.  When I first went to post my reply above I said the same thing abut Roos but I checked his playing record first and it had more substance to it than I can remember at the time.  7 All Australian, 5 Fitzroy B & F, 14 State of Origin (2 capt), 2 E.J Whitten Medal, 1 AFL MVP (Leigh Matthews Award), 121 career Brownlow  votes including a 2nd and a 3rd.
