Malcolm Blight has named the four coaches who are in desperate need of early wins to kick-start their 2019 campaigns.

Speaking on SEN’s Whateley, the two-time Adelaide premiership winning coach believes there are four names that spring to mind where victories would be of huge significance to turn around the fortunes for their respective clubs.

“The four coaches who need wins, I put it that way,” Blight said.

“Everyone is under pressure, it just depends on how many wins you have at the end of the year and most coaches lose their job because of not winning.”

1. Alan Richardson (St Kilda)

“That’s just fact.”

2. Brendon Bolton (Carlton)

“If you go 14th, 16th, 18th, 17th - you have got to see some movement somewhere.”

3. Ross Lyon (Fremantle)

“If he sits around those and gets six or seven wins again, I think that Ross would be in trouble.”

4. Luke Beveridge (Western Bulldogs)

“Maybe your turn is up, and it’s time to move on.”

The JLT Community Series gets underway on Thursday with the season proper beginning on March 21.
