UPDATE 9.31am: LEGENDARY AFL coach Allan "Yabby" Jeans died overnight. He was 77.

One of the great legends of the game. He made Hawthorn very enjoyable to watch when I first introduced to football as a young kid. Truly amazing stuff to see how much these 'hard men' of the 1980s owe their careers to Yabby. RIP.
