Wallace on 3AW

[coke_zero]

True. Terry Wallace's win/lose ratio is pathetic and he's trading/drafting record is even worse. Add that with the massive contract he was given and it makes it all the more embarrassing. But what tops it off is how every year he somehow convinces people he's good.

terry doesnt trade/draft he may have a say in it but he doesnt actully choose who we get.

 

[Deledio2Conca]

Is Hislop eligible for the Risng Star?

 

[Tigerballs]

I think Wallace will be judged on results this year. When he came to the club he said it would take him 5 years to re build the list to a standard that would bring sustained success meaning consistent finals appearances. At the moment the list is looking as good as i have seen it in a long time. Now all of the potential must get turned into results on the field. If this happens i will say he has succeeded. If we fail this year then i cant see Terry having a coaching job next year.

I agree that he has clearly learnt from some of the mistakes made at footscray with leon cameron and whatshisname that went to Melb..recent drafting at tigerland has been second to none

Speedwagon, why dont you find some other team to follow. Seriously you are an absolute joke. Shambolic, mis-informed, spiteful, pointless, moronic vitriol (by the way before you have to look it up Mario, this is what vitriol means Vitriol n -Bitterly abusive feeling or expression), garbage post after garbage post.

I know what vitriol means, unlike you I don't need to look up big words. Here's some more for ya , little champ, you are a clueless plank who contributes nothing. However despite you clearly being some kind of vapid non-entity with no idea , I'll address your points if only to underline your idiocy.

What are you judging Wallace on? With these players we won eight of our last eleven games last year - fact.

Really? He won 8 of his last 11 games in his 4th year. Supercoach! Let's give him another 5!

We have an exciting young team

That's done nothing yet...and still relies on it's over 30's far too much.

We have coughlan & cousins bolstering the mid-field depth lets hope they get and stay fit.

Yep predictably you're another halfwit who thinks the return of Mark "Steve Austin" Couglan is actually going to add anything. Yeah he might add something to Coburg. Will never be the same as that ONE good season everybody overrrates him on. As for Cousins, he will help our development if all goes well, but what are really you expecting from a 32 year old onfield? 22 40 possession games?

We have given cousins a 2nd chance at AFL which has created excitement, anticipation and pride not seen in years

And this pertains to Wallace's coaching record how?

membership is up

Yeah and? See above....btw, heard of a bloke called Kevin Sheedy at all?

we are on the verge of signing a 2nd major sponsor

Yep that's Richmond...always "on the verge" of something. Personally I prefer to regard a solid and already in place sponsorship as a sign of success.

we have commenced construction of out new facilities at punt road and craigieburn.

Again, what's this got to do with what my comments on Wallace? Is he building all this by hand himself with bricks made from the earth of his own backyard?

New Sponsor about to be signed.

So you said.

I have questioned how gary march is running things off field in the past - but when you run line over the club there is a hell of a lot of positives at the moment.

"At the moment" is the off season, after a 7th consecutive season without a finals appearance. Positives are what the club want tell you about. Why don't you at least wait until a ball get's kicked in anger before declaring a new dawn.

So whats wrong? guys like you who have no idea about the game of football sounding off because they want things to go bad just so you can say "i told you so" and build your own ego. wallace will eventually go, every coach does at some point. Just dont post on here "I told you so" like you know whats going on.

No you're confusing me with guy's like deliberate , cogga_rules and "The Snag"...I'm more than happy for every player and coach at Richmond that I criticise to prove me wrong, because that's a good thing for Richmond if everyone comes good. Whether it be Jackson , King , Schulz or Wallace. Winning on the football field is more important than "winning" on the internet, which shouldn't be important at all to anyone with a modicum of self worth. However short of us winning a flag , I won't be patting Wallace on the back if we finally reach the finals on the last year of his current contract. One year proves nothing.

 

[cormick]

To say Coughlan only had one good season is stretching it a bit, Mario. he absolutely gunned it second half of 2002, to storm into B+F top 3.

 

[Rayzorwire]

Yet we'd both still outplay Hackson. Seriously, deluded fools like you and madturd crack me up the way you overrate any godawful hack who pulls on a Tigers jumper as if it automatically grants them superpowers. It's sad , embarrassing but also quite funny all at the same time.

A lot of you Jackson haters are going to be backtracking this season.

I'd love to have you for a boss...I could just not bother to turn up for 4 years and probably still get a raise...

Most people would like a job where you get paid to do enjoyable, constructive work. I guess the fact you'd like the opposite says something about your personality?

Look,I can't be arsed arguing with this brick pile....think it's hilarious how you all pretend every Wallace "revised assessment" after we **** up another year is the gospel that he spoke from the beginning, when you all know it isn't.

And yet you never have a quote, never PROVE your point, just post personally abusive drivel. List some of these 'revised assesments' (those which are obviously about pumping up a players' tyres in public don't count) and you'll be able to be taken seriously.

Bottom line is.... proactive coaching wins premierships and brings sustained success, reactive coaching doesn't. Wallace is a reactive coach.

That's purely your subjective 'the glass is always half empty' vacuous opinion.

Coaches need to be both proactive and reactive - which should be obvious to anyone who watches football with their brain engaged. They need to go in with a proactive gameplan, and adjust (react) accordingly if that plan is not producing the desired result.

Were you complaining about the quality of Wallace's 'reactive' coaching when we got 4-5 goals behind in games last year (Saints and Lions are obvious examples) and quickly reeled in the deficit through some canny positional changes which led to a flurry of goals for us?

Were you complaining about the quality of his 'proactive' coaching when we smashed Fremantle at Subiaco and practically every move he made all day turned to gold - coming off two poor losses where he cut senior players and shook everything up?

Wallace is one of the best 'proactive', innovative coaches going around (as his record clearly shows), and his reactive coaching has got us out of trouble and won us games on many occasions.

The other point which should be obvious to any good judge, is that Wallace's ability to coach fully proactively has been limited to what he can get from a side full of youngsters who can't run out games. Last year, with other options somewhere near fit enough to replace them, we saw the proactive coaching moves of Richo on a wing, Bowden playing spare parts roles all over the ground, Johnson as a tagging forward, and Brown as a rebounding ball carrier.

The day we take in a side with 22 players who are of genuine four quarter AFL fitness, I'll have to pause and rewind game replays 150 times instead of 70-80 to work out all the significant proactive positional changes which are being made constantly - the proactive coaching which you're apparently not capable of detecting.

ok, we all agree on that

 

[Wally Matera]

Jacko is the man in 2009. A lock in my DT.

If Jacko is in your dream team, then ahh good luck then. You'll need it.

Seriously, deluded fools like you and madturd crack me up the way you overrate any godawful hack who pulls on a Tigers jumper as if it automatically grants them superpowers. It's sad , embarrassing but also quite funny all at the same time. In Fact the only thing that is funnier is the way you still believe Wallace's crap after all these years of failure and backtracking...I'd love to have you for a boss...I could just not bother to turn up for 4 years and probably still get a raise...

Could not have said it better myself... Jackson is easily in the worst 5 players at the clun (not including new draftees) and its Wallaces way of saying, your in your last 12 months of an AFL career unless you do something absolutely unbelieveable. Running the tan in good speed doesnt do it for me.

You however Sante, can keep jacking off to your little ginga love child.

ps. i do not share MS's views on Wallaces efforts of rebuilding the club, only the views of Jackson has and always will be a DUD.

 

[PHX]

Is Hislop eligible for the Risng Star?

Yeah good point actually, looking at his age and games played, he certainly is.

 

[PHX]

Ah Daniel Jackson, you either wanna boof the guy or get him out it seems.


For me the fact that year after year we hear about how good he is training and how fit he is only to be a mediocre performer through-out the year time after time says it all for mine. He needs to take a massive step up to show me he's worth anything, and I'm talking about on the paddock.

I am a fence sitter on this dude, purely on the basis of his junior footy deeds when playing at Carey. Came with the bells and whistles of a winner, and from the info i had, was a pretty sought after commodity for many other teams.
Prefer to wait and see a little longer with him. Tipping experience might be the thing that is needed to deliver the goods.

My position too. Some of the things I've seen him do leave me scratching my head but other aspects of his game really whet the appetite. I dunno about DJ but I have this sneaking suspicion he might be alright

 

[_RT_]

Much like Moore before he breakout season last year, I think Jackson could blossom if he was able to play regular senior footy. Has played 47 games since making he debut back in 2004. Has never player more than 10 games in succession. Hard to become comfortable at AFL level when you're constantly in and out of the side.

With the way they are talking him up I'm expecting him to be given the first half of the season to make a spot his and if he steps up, I think it could spell the end for someone like Johnson as a run with player.

 

[Deledio2Conca]

Yeah good point actually, looking at his age and games played, he certainly is.

I can't find odds for Hislop anywhere, maybe he's worth a fiver.

 

[SDM08]

So you'll judge him on that one game!!! Probably half a dozen Tigers guys weren't so good in that game too, but do we judge them? Ridiculous thinking!!! Hislop will be a regular for us...guaranteed!!!

Hold your horses....No i don't judge him on one game. I have only seen him in one game. I certainly hope the recruiting team have seen every game he's played, and from that they have made their decision. I haven't made mine (as i said), because it's based only on one game. (as i said)

 

[Wally Matera]

That's his fault, not the clubs.

 

[_RT_]

That's his fault, not the clubs.

Didn't say it was the clubs fault, just pointed out that it is hard to feel very confident in your ability at AFL level if you're constantly in and out of the side.

Hopefully he can get some game time this year and give it a real shake. Has the ability to be a very good run with player IMO and with not many other real options in that area outside of Johnson and perhaps Tuck we certainly need one.

 

[PHX]

Exactly, it's his own fault he never has got a steady place and I'm not content on giving a guy who doesnt perform, a spot for half a season just so he can become "comfortable" when someone else might be knocking down the door and will have a bigger influence than Jackson, but sorry, we want to see what he can do. How about he shows us what he's got and actually earns 11 straight games to start the season. Then I would start to believe he's a long term prospect for this club.

Didn't say it was the clubs fault, just pointed out that it is hard to feel very confident in your ability at AFL level if you're constantly in and out of the side.

I think nearly everyone who has had a successful career has had to fight through that early, RT, and there should be no concessions for Jackson to do anything else.

But he does run a very quick lap of the tan... must be a gun.

 

[Rayzorwire]

Jackson actually had a very similar year to White in terms of development and progress (arguably a better one when he played), the only real difference was that White's best work often involved exciting linebreaking runs which everyone loves to see, while Jackson's unfortunate habit (though much improved and occurring far less often than his knockers would suggest) of getting caught with the ball, is the last thing people want to see.

I expect both of them to play a lot of games for us - they're archetypal AFL footballers for the way the game is currently played: huge stamina with enough pace to back it, and a very strong physical presence.

 

[sante]

If Jacko is in your dream team, then ahh good luck then. You'll need it.

I'll flog you in DT. Thats a certainty.

Ok knob jock... Jacko in a dreamteam, bwahahaha... would rather ****ing Cameron Cloke.
