Things Terry Wallace Will Be Doing Today

[Get Thee To A Nunnery]

Thinking....of a new way to rip off a Hawthorn game plan....oh wait....we tried that last time......hang on...what was that about asking Tivendale to come out of retirement.....

I've nearly peed myself laughing.

Umm thanks anyway but we want to start a "winning" tradition.

Is having a selection dilemma of not being able to swap Tivendale for Hyde or vise-versa, as is his usual post flogging remedy.

Well, judging by what happened at the Bulldogs, he'll be preparing his exit strategy, sounding out the interstate teams, and grooming your best young players to follow him to whichever club he ends up at next. Don't worry though, he *will* offer to stay and coach you until the end of the season. By the way, I'm not terribly fond of the Tigers, but I did pick you to win last night. Wallace was a pretty good coach for the Bulldogs for a lot of his time there but I reckon that 1) he is using tactics that were clever 6 or 7 years ago but have been well and truly figured out by the other coaches, 2) he has recruited a number of players who are fast but light and don't yet have the skill necessary to execute a game plan that didn't quite work even back when he was at the Bulldogs. 3) he has a fondness for downhill skiers like McMahon - there are a lot of people on the Bulldogs Board who were overjoyed to see him gone. Anyway, just my 5 cents worth...

How about actually existing beyond a piss weak logo first before you start trolling other clubs.

"The other issue is of course Richmond. They have the second oldest list in the competition. Their 6 oldest players have played 47% of the total games on the list and (Richardson, Brown, Johnson, Cousins, Bowden and Simmonds) will all be over 31 at the beginning of next year. But perhaps more staggeringly their next oldest player this year is 25 years old at 1st April. That's a 4 year gap. They have taken 6 players in the ND in the last two years, and one of those was an Essendon reject.

I reckon their list is in diabolical trouble and I think they are falling for the exact mistake Melbourne made. The difference is that at least we made finals when we were doing it. They haven't made finals since 2001."

Do you disagree ?

No, but at least he could his facts straight. Shane Tuck is 27, Pettifer is 27, Moore is 26 by April, Coughlan is 27 by April. There goes all creditability, he has no idea.

To a point...but it fails to take into account the rookie & pre-season draft(not counting Cousins) and the prospects of players like Deledio -who still can and should become elite - and Cotchin and others who like Foley , Morton, Reiwoldt and Connors who if they step up are far better than any prospects on your list, bar Watts & Morton's brother.

That's not to say we don't have serious problems though.

Obviously he meant 27, not 25, which would make it a 4 year gap indeed. No I don't disagree with any of that. Our list is up shit creek, I've said this for ages, but the ferals and brightsiders won't listen. The sad thing is with 2 new teams plundering the drafts, it could mean we are a decade away from having a premiership list if certain players do not come on as hoped.

Umm... wrong forum.

Anyhow...

Things Terry Wallace would be doing... Reading BF thinking Geelong lost their first match in 2007

You're a little too quick to judge, perhaps 25 was a typo, as this 31 to 27 year age difference is the 4 year gap the poster was referring to. Therefore his comments retain all credibility - there are 4 years there, (say about 10 years ago) where Richmond haven't recruited well enough to retain players of these ages, and this is probably compounded by perhaps sub-par recruiting since 2003 or 2004 (5 years ago).

I just live in hope that he changes this shit of a gameplan of short 15-20 metre kicks and over handballing just ****** kick the ball long to position and gain 50 metres further down the ground.
It ain't rocket science.

apparently your prez said "terry, its time for a holiday, so pack ya bags" - "a holiday", says terry, "do i pack for the beach or for the snow ?" We dont care, the prez replies, as long as your not here when we get back...

c'mon Garland, Grimes, Buckley, Maric, Blease & Frawley aren't bad

 

[beaver fever]

Personally I think Melbourne is putting together a pretty good bunch of kids. With another batch of top quality coming in at the end of this year they may just surpass us.

Wishing that he had gone harder after Sam Power and Farren Ray.

 

[Get Thee To A Nunnery]

Scheming a way in which he could not only get Sheeds into the top job, whilst maintaing his $$$ to end of season, getting his suntan and blaming Polo and Hyde for everything that has gone wrong to date. And yes I know Hyde has gone, but that will not stop him for blaming somebody other them himself…… Of and yes...encouraging us to resign Fiora next year..after he has a steller year with the 2's in some backyard hicks comp.
