David Parkin

Defending Wallace, wants him to see the year out.
Please go away David. You've done enough - you helped pick Terry as Coach. You clearly dislike Richmond and will do anything to help Carlton and Hawthorn.

Big mistake having the old goat on the coach selection committee.
Next time.... Richmond people only please.

He just didn't seem to make much sense. Said he wasn't in favour of sacking coaches mid-year, but that clubs which do often do well out of it.

I do hope that Terry doesn't get canned eternally. If it hasn't worked, then so be it. No need to dance on the man's grave.

Why get Richmond People? Unless we get Sheedy (the only guy from our 'Golden era' who could still conceivably coach, any other Richmond person has been through 25 years of crap. What the hell do they know about success?

Why do people think Walls, Parkin et al hate Richmond and sabotaged us? Since we won our last premiership the following coaches have won flags at clubs other thah where they played.
Jeans, Parkin, Sheedy, Matthews, Malthouse, Blight, Thomson, Clarkson.

Since the glory days of 1980, 20 of the 28 flags have been with with coaches who never played for the club.

Go and read Ron Barassi about 'transferring' loyalty.

Don't care if the new Coach is not 'Richmond'. In fact it's probably better they are not.
I don't want the people SELECTING the Coach non Richmond people.
Parking and Walls put Richmond down at every oppurtunity and pump the Blues tyres up at every oppurtunity...
Why should someone like that have a say in who is our next Coach. Are they partial judges? - no way.

I would be happy if the Selction committe consisted of people like: Tony Free, Sheedy, Bartlett, Rex Hunt, Brendon Gale, Northey.
