Sack Wallace

The players are the ones out there spectating, showing no passion or pride.

 

[ICE PICK]

That loss has nothing to do with Wallace, he backed our kids and they let him down.

Bunch of gutless cowards

Why have a coach then. He gets paid a massive some of money to coach the team, surely he could get the players to fire up and play like the tiger of old. Or are the players losing confidence in him, sacking Gasper the final straw, any player over age of 27 will be looking over their shoulder waiting for the axe to fall.

 

[The Cryptkeeper]

hes still had more wins than clarkson
wallace 21/50
clarkson 18/50

That's not a reasonable way to assess things.

1) Clarkson went the youth route immediately he took the job at Hawthorn. He sacrificed short term wins for the chance to build a team capable of challenging for a premiership. On current evidence, this seems to be paying off with his team improving sharply over the past 6-12 months. Wallace, on the other hand took the calculated risk that he could top his list up, keep his core group together and play finals in the short term. He did this even with this season in mind by recruiting somebody like Kent Kingsley. This has backfired in the worst possible way. He has now done a backflip and started removing his veterans from the club. You can put any spin you like on the Gaspar situation but the fact is that a popular club stalwart with over 200 games experience is no longer at the club. This is an absurd turnaround in the thinking of your coach and the reaction of his players was in evidence for all to see today/

2) Look at the trends. Hawthorn has won 8 out of it's last 10 premiership matches. Richmond are now 0 from 6 this season. One side is going forward and another is going backwards yet Wallace stated that he took the Richmond job partly because he felt that the Tigers list was more advanced than Hawthorn's. This has been proven to be so much hogwash. Terry Wallace has shown a basic incompetence in something as basic as rating a list.

His position at the moment is bordering on being untenable. He should do the honourable thing and resign. He has duped the Richmond faithful long enough.

They are *******s.

I apologise for the above post, it is unfair on *******s, ******s, immigrants, the deaf, the dumb, disabled etc. They should not be in any terms refered to in the same sentence as the richmond football club and should under no circumstances be compared.

Good call

Bunch of gutless cowards

yes the kids let him down but there was not enough older heads on the paddock to give real leadership ... we need to get game time into the kids but we must have older heads around them to help them

without some experience blowouts like tonight will recur ... confiodence in the young players will erode and they will go backwards ... gotta have experience on ground ... we had jack sh!t of that tonight and this was always a chance to happen ... and it pains me to say it ... I hate whats happened to our great club

 

[hisokaa]

Wallace cannot be blamed for this, but he cannot be 100% excused.
Brining the kids in for experience, good work - not cracking down on them when they were being ****ers and not playing AFL, not good enough.
We need a coach with some anger -_- get stuck into them when they do stuff like this - the players dont get paid for nothing.

As a supporter im dissapointed in wallace as a whole, he had brought the team up when they were losing their legs, and all of a sudden he has put them in the same position.

We can all agree on one thing though, Wallace will not be with the RFC next season - and that is due to his s*iteful reccuring performance as a coach.

Typical assesment from a Hawks supporter with an axe to grind.
While Hawthorn is going well at the moment, the real proof as to the development of the two clubs will come in 3+ years time. Then we will see if the Hawks have what it takes to win a premiership or not. Many things can go wrong, and you guys are hardly through the woods yet. Give us until the end of TW's term, and then judge.

 

[Truetiger]

This dopey coach has to be sacked for the better of the Richmond F.C.
Post reply if you feel he has to be sacked.

you and everyone else that agrees to this are idiots. He has changed this playing list around and will continue to do so

 

[Tarkyn_24]

Get the spit ready...

 

[tonemeister]

Last week geelong fans were calling for thompsons sacking, now they'd be licking his boots in ecstacy. We're not sacking the coach.

 

[Dan26]

Richmond have made the finals twice in the last 25 years. During that time they have sacked:

Francis Bourke
Mike Patterson
Paul Sproule
Tony Jewell
Kevin Bartlett
Allan Jeans
John Northey
Robert Walls
Jeff Gieschen
Danny Frawley

That's 10 coaches, all of whom (except Northey) were sacked for lack of on-field performance. Doesn't that tell you something? Sacking a coach achieves nothing, if the playing group simply isn't good enough.

11 coaches (including Wallace) have gone through Richmond over the last 25 years and it hasn't got them anywhere. Learn from the past FFS.

Absolutley stupid.

No way.

Is that all? I thought there were more...

Someone who comes on this board with some sense instead of small minded trolling.

Great post.

 

[Wally07]

Lets please not do the typical Richmond thing and blame/sack the coach again. How many coaches have we sacked in the last 30 years? How many finals have we played in? Been a success that method hasn't it.

Terry is trying to implement a future for us through the drafting/playing kids. The normal typical recruitment process is to get rid of the cr*p players, keep your star senior players and add some good kids. The problem at Richmond is the senior players are the problem since they are extremely selfish (as displayed by Gasper this week) and unaccountable and that comes to the real problem at Richmond which is poor culture.

Culture is the most important thing at a football club and it starts at lot higher place than coach and the players. Richmond has poor culture due to two reasons:

1. the board who have displayed a lack of accountability and condone a conflicts of interest (in particular the recruiting manager). What message are they sending to the coach, the players and the supporters? These sort of problems filter through a whole club. We need to do what we should have done 3 years ago and throw them out for an accountable ethical board before our younger players are poisoned.

2. the supporters. It is time the Richmond supporters stopped pointing the finger and had a good f*&king look at themselves. We are the reason for many rash decisions in the past because we have no patience which has resulted in the large number of sacked coaches. I find it disgraceful/embarrassing that this coach is actually trying to take the hard road and the response is to sack him. Go on sack him and what will you achieve but another 20 years of failure.

Pressure on a coach to perform is good, Thommo got a win. Look at Laidley he got 3 wins after being blasted. The thing is wallace has brought out his 2011 plan, which everyone accepted, so there is no immediate pressure to win. If it were his job on the line, he would be doing more.

 

[koby01]

Wallace did the same thing at the doggies!!!

Boy's he will turn his back on the club when things get hard, just you wait and see.

 

[malreid]

maybe its time to give caro a go as coach, or possibly on the wing

GOLD

Sack Him Now!

Wallace is the couch, it stops with him, our foot skills have not changed one bit since he was there.

Treated Kellerway and Gaspar with no respect im sure nathan brown who is pretty much ****ed now won't get that treatment
