"The List Manager"

[Cubs into Tigers]

Does anyone else feel sick to their stomachs whenever they see, hear or read anything from this media whore?

I mean seriously! List manager?...just once I would love for someone sitting next to him to bring up some of the horrendous "list management" decisions he made while in charge or our club...would love to see him attempt to talk his way out of it

 

[FootyJunkie657]

Just another name for "I don't know what I am doing."
Briefer and easier to say

 

[Bazzar]

The name "list manager" wasnt his idea but that of his employer. Whats different with him as an ex triple premiership player, four time best and fairest, all Australian and senior coach joining the media?

For what its worth, i have enjoyed his media work this year.

Fair dinkum, people need to move on from this. Its yesterdays news. Get over it and worry about something important in life.

 

[Ned_Flanders]

His employer may have come up with the idea, but he agreed to it

Every time I hear the name it's an insult to our club, and how far back he set our list, with his expert list management (which is ironic, because he has spent much of his post footy life denying any involvement in RFC list management)

Guy is a joke, and wish he would just shut up

 

[UpTheGuts]

He didn't try to stuff things up.

I'd wish him well

Absolutely agree.

Everything that's happened to our club - including Wallace has been a learning curve, it's taught us what not to do wrong next time, Wallace may have not helped us attain success in his time there, but I suspect Gale thinks he was a significant part of the story of our club, when we do succeed I want him to be there and share in the spoils with us.

There is a story my mate told me about Wallace's son, he played alongside him in the Northern Knights and said that the school gym teacher, infront of the whole school in an assembly made an insult about Terry Wallace's job security.

No kid has a right to be humiliated personally by his school teacher. From what I heard, Wallace went to the school and had a good talk with the principle and the gym teacher.

His family went through an awful time, due to the instability of our club, and I really would like to see Wallace not insulted as badly.



I think our supporters sometimes don't understand that this man made sacrifices, he worked respectably and worked to the best of his ability with the resources at his disposal, ffs he had to help paint our gym room, what a disgrace, he's a coach not a painter.

We need to stop being bitter of our past and firmly work together as one for our future, or else success will never come our way.

PS: Wallace has a balanced opinion on the radio/TV, he isn't a sour puss who takes a cheap jab at us whenever he sees fit (Like Royal & David King ..King just has a terrible opinion on everything however). In fact the guy has never bagged the club, and it's a testament to his integrity.

 

[007Tigers]

i dont like ppl bagging wallace.. yes he failed at the tigers but hes always been very positive since leaving when it comes to the tigers and for that i take my hat off to him.... the easy way out would have been to take cheap shots at the tigers for sacking him

great post - couldnt agree more

 

[The Rusty Trombone]

Enough with the Wallace love. The man as a coach was useless. Yes he was a great player but his new roll is a joke and we all know it. After his 4 & a half years at Tigerland he is not qualified to be making coments on a shopping list.

His comments are ridiculous !!!!

 

[Ned_Flanders]

I'll never forgive him for the way he hung King and Newman out to dry after "the meeting".

One thing to fail at a gig, we have all done that. It's another to leak lies to the media to set up someone else to make them a scape goat for your failings.

As you were obviously at that meeting, what actually happened?

 

[Ned_Flanders]

Not the Newman demand he stand down that was reported.

 

[Bazzar]

Not the Newman demand he stand down that was reported.

So what did happen?

 

[folester41]

probably the worst list manager ive ever seen is called the liste manager, did pretty much nothing with our list in 5 years.

 

[OnTheFool]

Wallace did NOT draft Tambling or Jarred Oakleigh Nicholls. He told recruiters to get him the "best available" because our list was terrible.

However, he did play a role in bringing McMahon to Tigerland

Cut him some slack... it wasnt all his fault (as much as it is easy to blame him)

 

[tunksy]

meh its in the past... he gave it a go.

never herd hm bag the club in the media. ever. for that alone he deserves alot of credit.

we're on the right track now. thats all that should matter.

 

[Ned_Flanders]

So what did happen?

Given only Wallace has given his version publicly, it's fair to say the others who were there have chosen to keep their version private, so I'm respecting that.

Newman did publicly refute the allegation he tried to push Wallace out, which is why thats the only part I referred to.

 

[Bazzar]

Yep, nothing at all. Riewoldt, Cotch, Rance, Vickery, Nahas, Cousins, Martin, Grimes, maybe future players like Griff, Astbury, Dea, Post and some handy types in Morton and Edwards... Yep, he helped draft nothing but duds.

 

[santa claws]

while highly critical of wallace im bemused.

here i was thinking that in wallaces time miller cameron and jackson were all in charge of either list management or recruiting.
no wonder wallace failed as a coach he was doing every other buggers job for them and hads no time for his own.

geez how easy is it to make one man the scape goat for others failings.

heres a little news for people it wasnt all wallace by himself. in fact some of those who had resposibility are still there.

 

[Bojangles17]

has been discussed adnaseum newbies, lets move on and discuss the road ahead...we have plenty on our plate

So basically you have no idea exactly what took place and are only going on hearsay.

 

[Ned_Flanders]

Nice try, but I'm not mentioning source either.

Do you honestly believe Newman would demand Wallace step down, and then lie about about it? Unlike Wallace who had form distorting the truth on his way out from the dogs (which they did call him out on)

But of course Terry is all powerful and wonderful, and its travesty we are denied his awesomeness

 

[tigs2010]

He hasn't been at the club for 2.5 years. And has been called the list manager for a while too. We should get over it i think.

 

[delediofan3]

... what do you mean he's done nothing?? He's brought us the whole rebuilding, he's basically served Deledio, Cotchin, Vickery, Riewoldt, Rance, Foley on a platter for Hardwick. Look at what he's done for us.

• He recruited McMahon to kick the winning goal to get Martin, and all you juicy Martin fans should be delighted.
• He traded that 18th priority pick and the Bulldogs got Ward, we can all laugh at the Bulldogs now.
• He tanked us into getting Cotchin, Vickery, Riewoldt etc...
• He was present at the time of Foley's prime.
