[1980]

Was universally slagged last season.

Would fit right in on this board this season.

What does that say about a lot of people posting on this board?

Hypocrites, or slow on the uptake.

Take your pick.

 

[Haggard H]

I'm slow on the uptake, 1980, 'coz I don't know what you're on about.

 

[True Thylacine]

He would fit in if you are keen to increase the purely negative crap level. Not so sure if he'd help in the "bright ideas to fix things" department. Then again why not just sack Wallace!

Kudos to you TT.

One of the few guys sticking by his guns, and not jumping on the re-evaluation of Wallace bandwagon.

Thankfully we have you on here

Slight difference 1980, but i know where your coming from.

76gamer wanted terry sacked after 1 year and 4 games into his 5 year contract.

Some people here are now questioning his performance after 2 years and 18 games (almost 3 years) into his contract.

Also 76gamer was a d*ckhead

My view on all this is everyone should just put up with it give terry his 5 years like he should be given then re-evaluate.

my point EXACTLY mate!!!

Whether its 1 year and 4 games, or 2 years and 18 games, we are still yet to reach the point where it is legitimate to question wallace.

If he had a 3 year contract, he would have done it differently.

Facts are he has a 5 year contract, and no way would he have sacked Gaspar and played so many young kids this year if he was looking at his final contract year this year or next year.

We are better off being so bad this year, if it means we are going to be much better next year and the year after.

SO EVERYONE QUESTIONING WALLACE BASED ON THIS SEASON SHOULD JUST GET ***%%$$&&& D

If I genuinely thought it would help, I'd join the call to sack him too. Fact is, despite making someone feel better somewhere WTF could it possibly achieve. We need to rebuild almost from the ground up, its gonna take a lot of time and its gonna be painful. Sooner we all get that message the better.
I am yet to read a better strategy but open to offers.

Sure vent your displeasure and how shit it feels to be a proud Tiger and getting your arse kicked and humiliated the way we are BUT recognise there are few options if any to a way out of this mess. Lets exhaust this one before we start throwing out the baby and the bathwater.

One of the key things we need is support. Any ******** can see whats wrong such as those in the media circus but unless we actually support a plan and strategy we may as well just give up now. In truth I find it weak as piss that many dont have the balls to support our club when it really needs it rather prefer to jump the fence and join in the shit slinging. To me thats the easy way out. But WTF would I know.

I have an inkling Wallace would like to say a little bit more than he is letting on re our current predicament, where we're at and what the future holds. Spin or no spin, I am sure he could do a better job with what has been allowed to hit the press.
But the problem was he was burned badly pre-season when he came out and gave an "honest" assessment of where we were at. That is, lacking those 24 to 28 year olds who win you games and the whole we will be there in 2011 with a core of players.
He never even actually said that with that core of players (Deledio, Foley, Tambling, Polo, Newman, Thursfield, Edwards, Connors, Riewoldt, Pattison - I'm sure the'll all stick) that we would win a premiership, or even play off in grand finals, only that is where we want to be with our list and we should benefit.
Yet it got badly misrepresneted in the media that we wouldn't contend until 2011. Never said that all. So I think the fact he was burned has seen Wallace become highly sceptical and give the media nothing.
This guy was bluntly honest at the Bulldogs, and in two years at Richmond. This year, I couldn't give ahoot about what he says as it means nothing.
And nothing makes me happier to see him see out his contract. A five year plan is just that...a five year plan. That's what he was installed to do, let him do it and we'll judge him at the end!

You're damned if you do and you're damned if you don't in this caper. In fact you're even damned if you don't do anything.
Some examples to illustrate my point:
Damned if you do: Terry says we are a long way off and need to get games into the young players because we lack the 22-27 age group players. Says the window of opportunity will be wide open in 2011. didn't say we couldn't do something beforehand. This is what he said. Everyone goes into a frenzy about how Wallace is making excuses already. Impatient RFC fans turn off because they are sick of waiting and take Wallace's words to be something they are not. Damned if you do.
Damned if you don't: Wallace comes out and says we are a chance to win the flag this year just like Schwab did at hawthorn a couple of years ago. 15 weeks later he is sacked. Damned if you don't.
Damned if you don't do anything: Keep a low profile and the media takes you to task for not giving them anything to write/say. supporters are left wondering WTF is going on.

Out of these three options, I'd gladly take option No 1 which is what terry os doing. Not saying he's unaccountable, just saying that he was honest is his assessment of the list at the start of the season. if people have a problem with that then screw them. a blind guy could see that our list was in trouble.
I just hope the board is not spinless and takes the easy way out if we're struggling atthe halfway point of next year.
Wallace is not perfect, but he's the only coach since KB who has actually thought about the years ahead rather than coached for the moment.
I don't have blind faith in Terry, but I do have faith in the course of action that he has chosen to take.
We've learned that quick fixes don't work. You can't mend a broken leg in a week. It takes months.

This thread is at risk of developing into one displaying common sense and not blind negativity. Some should be done about it!

You're all a bunch of mindless effing saps. Sack Plough, sack Richo, sack Royce Hart, sack Stripes Dyer, sack Vlad, sack Eddie McGuire, sack the coach of the under 9s, sack Kofi Annan, dammit sack the Pope.

Job done TT?



(By the way I actually agree with the giving Plough his 5 years to do the job and take our medicine sentiment)

[1980]

Anyone slagging off wallace is a dic khead for not doing so last season and whole heartedly agreeing with the only person calling for Wallace to be sacked last season.

So stop whingeing and complaining and save it for next season if you need to.

lmao You dont count, you're an institution! hahah Besides, I thought you were the "voice of reason" and "the font of all knowledge" rather than some nah saying ghost of Xmas past! lol Having this Board without oxx assassinating someone at RFC is like having it without Harvey's smut and the Two Spinners thread. Probably why the place has been so bloody boring lately.

Not required TT, that's done and dusted come November.

Brilliant post.

Should be repeated to everybody calling for wallaces head.

If we dont substantially improve next season, Wallace's 4th, I doubt he will survive at the end of that season.

I'm a fan of Wallace. But even I reckon if you havent figured it out in 4 full seasons, no matter how bad your list was, you're not up to the job. 4 years is enough to turn it around, no matter where you started from. And there's been sufficient time for him to develop talent like Deledio and Tambling into stars. If he hasnt, he's just like every other dud coach we've had that either recruited badly, or recruited well but couldnt develop the talent.

Sorry TT, time around here has been limited of late.

And on other news, the ol' office humpback has been moved on to greener pastures, but not without throwing a little going away party for the rest of the girls. So last Saturday night Jabba the Hutt threw a "sex toy party". My PA divulged to me on Monday morning that her jaw nearly dropped when the rhino forked over a wad of cash for a contraption that looked like a magnum of wine with spikes hanging off it. I'd imagine she'd have to whack on the safety goggles and lay down a drop-cloth when she fired up that number. Would also smell like a dodgy yum-cha.

FWIW, I'm still on the Terry train.

Seen enough this year, even through the doom a gloom, to be quite confident that we will dude.
Only have to improve our fitness levels, and with the addition of 3 or 4 new players to the fray that have been cutting their teeth at Coburg, then you add player X that supposedly we are after.
Browny has had a season to work his way back, even though he looks like he didnt need to, add a fit Cogga, a fit Simmo, a fit Polo, number 1 or 2 draft pick and we are ready to rise from the floor.
