It is John Terry from 1995.
The player to play for Chelsea for the longest is John Terry. He played for the club team for six years, and made his debut in 1998.
Norm Smith was a player and coach. He played for Melbourne and Fitzroy and coached Fitzroy, Melbourne, and South Melbourne. He is famous as a coach because he coached Melbourne to 5 premierships in 6 years (1955, '56, '57, '59, '60) and 6 premiership's overall also coaching the 1964 premiership team.
After some research, I believe the answer to be that there are 3 different people who answer to achieving the most premierships as VFL-AFL players and coaches: The first was Jock McHale, who won 2 premierships solely as a player for Collingwood - the first being in 1903 - his first year at the club. He then went on to coach Collingwood to a record 8 premierships = 10 total premierhips. The second was Norm Smith, who played for Melbourne Football Club from 1937. He played in 4 premierships for the club. Later he went on to coach 6 premierships over an 11 year period = 10 total premierhips. The third was Ron Barassi, who played for Melbourne, winning 6 Premierhips as a player only with that club. Following his time at Melbourne, he accepted a coaching opportunity with Carlton, which club won 2 premierships during his short stay with the club. He then went on to coach North Melbourne for a further 2 premierships = 10 total premierships! However, of those premierhips, some won by Ron Barassi and Jock McHale were achieved as playing coaches.
