Wallace has hopes riding high

IT'S still more than four months before another ball is kicked in anger for premiership points, but a buzz has already descended on Punt Rd.

That's the message from Andrew Krakouer, who says new coach Terry Wallace had sent morale sky-rocketing.

"He's made a really good impression and there's a great feel at the club now," Krakouer said.

"He's obviously well respected by everybody for what he has achieved in football, and everyone I've spoken to have only had good things to say about him.

"We haven't had a lot of success over the last couple of years but hopefully that's about to change.

"It's like a fresh new start for everybody."

The Tigers have five of the first 20 selections in Saturday's national draft.

They will be the first team in the 19-year history of the draft to have four first-round picks.

Krakouer said he was looking forward to adopting more of a midfield role after playing predominantly as a forward during his four years at the club.

"I've spoken to Terry a couple of times about that and I'm looking forward to having a run there (in the midfield)," he said.

Hearing that should be enough to sign any supporter up to the Yellow and Black army.

I love hearing stuff like this. Gets me pumped up.

Get ready for the ride in 3 years time. The plough is on a mission!!!!

Well at least Andy Krakouer is getting excited and hopefully he produces the goods. But we always say this every year, someone will say how its looking like we are going to be ready to play good footy and make the finals but it never happens, but with Terry things are different, he is more professional than Frawley

hahah and you geelong fans are a queer lot.

Thinking The Sleepy Otto is the Mesiah and all....

 

[vicpride99]

Least my club has made the finals more than twice in 22 years. And no we don't think Otto is the Mesiah but having spoken with him he is looking forward to playing finals and getting the respect of the club.

Getting the respect of the club.. At least he has a career as a comedian after footy.

HAHAHAHAHAHA! That is almost worth bookmarking!

Ottens just wants the mooola, the chi-ching, the big $$$$. He doesn't give a flying ****** about gaining respect. Anyways, the big mule is your problem now, and this thread is about how TW is gonna turn this club from rags to RICHES

Not only has Wallace turned the morale of the players around, but i can bet that he has TOTALLY turned the morale of the supporters around. I have to say, he has impressed me a great deal in the 3 months he has been @ Tigerland. Definetly a man who wants success, and will not accept anyhting less.

That's because he's going to be carried by 17 other guys who can actually play a bit of footy and be able to hide his mediocrity.

HAHHAH you tiger fans are a funny lot.

ROFLMFAOOOOO
@ a team that historically has more red-heads than Bryant and May.

U imbecile!

"Having spoken to Otto..." - LMAOOOOO u *******.

What'd u expect him to say?
Admit to you he's an over-rated pea-heart ?

And how many times have you come away with the flag?
The cats once again blew away a perfect oppotunity last season but as always they choked when it mattered.

cheers!

Remember Malcolm Blight took Adelaide's list to TWO premierships.


He had Geelongs list for years too, with Ablett and Couch, and Whiskers and a plethora of talented stars and acheived didly squat!


Call me a futurist, but I can already hear the cattery moaning, "otto, Oto, Otto", in a Simpsonesque, Darrel Strawberry-like monotone.

Good on Wallace for instilling morale in the players. Let's hope he gets rid of about 15 players that are not up to it that remain on our list in the next two years and brings in some young fresh talent that can play.

 

[peejay]

How ya feeling Spud?
