The best thing about the sacking of blumfield is that it sends a clear message to the players that no matter what you name is or whatever your past achievements are, if you dont perform you are out the door. this is a really good way to start terry, i think the initial cull needed to have a fairly big name and we got that by sacking blumfield.

completely agreed! he aint taking no cr@p! he really wants this side to be sucessfull. if you havent put in the hard yards and performed you will be traded or delisted. i can see a team doing well next year... even if its not talking finals!!!
 
How often did he get his chance........aye??

Sure he didnt get much of a chacen but he was always injured. He was also injured for his last two seasons at Essendon also. How many players do you know that have been injured for 4 years can make a successful comeback and be a valueable senior player?

Not many i bet.

His time is up, never fast at his best and now he is even slower. Also very slow to recover from a contest.

the message is


the future is wallace


Dude.. seriously.. stop saying that. You'll be mighty disappointed if this Wallace thing didnt work.
 
I am telling you it will work it may take 2 years maybe 3 but it will.

He knows how to coach. He knws how to lead. Hes already got a good team together and it is building. Hes got rid of hacks. he knew he was going to be coach a while back and has seen every game. Hes got miller in hi corner. He wont back down. He is braveheart mark 2, and i tell you i will be there doing all i can to get his beast in action again. I urge you to do this same and this from a bloke who as you know was pretty negative to danny and his partenrs in crime. Mate i have softened but it wont be easy. The tough fight is ahead of us. There wil be more pain next yer.

do i have to say it again?

Agree there had to be a big name and Injuries aside he was always going to be one of the first shown the door. However I would like to know what Terry things about Gaspers Future if he has one at puntroad. If Darren was to stay on he should take a pay cut enough said.

Agree.... but we must be hamstrung to a great extent given the $$$ gaspars on, plus his present form would make any club think twice about dealing with him.

My guess is that we're stuck with and the best we can hope for...

1) He takes a significant pay cut
2) that is form improves his form 10 fold come next year.

Of the present list, he is the biggest liability.

I dont really see a message in it. Blumfield had his bags packed before the last game. It was so obvious he didnt really need to be told to head off. The real message would be to delist the not so obvious players who have let the team down so often. Let them know that even though it was dead time under Spud the Dud that they were still representing the Richmond Jumper.

BTW - Special comments on MMM for the Game tonight by Danny Frawley. He will be absolutely scathing on the deplorable direct hard in for the ball giving forwards plenty of opportunities approach of the Brisbane players. Hold your tongue Spud.
