Wallace Wont Get Us A Premiership

[TigerPower]

If we dont make the top 6 this year and at least win one final Wallace can piss off. He will of had 5 years, which is more than enough time to develop a list, and will of failed miserably. I personally hope we make top 6 and have a decent crack at finals and can see it happening but if it doesn't Wallace goes. There can be no more we are developing, spin, sugarcoating etc. what a crock of shit.

If Wallace fails who will replace him, there a number of canditates avaliable, and very good ones at that. In order of my personal preference I will list them. My opinion is based on the fact the most successful coaches are ones that are untried and have new ideas and are young + fresh.

1. James Hird
2. Nathan Buckley
3. Leigh Matthews

If you read todays herald sun you would realise Hird knows his shit and is a very smart individual. Buckley is also smart but a league below Hird in my opinion. Leigh Matthews while experienced, is one of the most successful coaches in the games history and knows what is needed to be there and win that last day in september.

• Could we even pick two of them? Science proves that collaboration in a group is the most effective way in achieving a goal, and almost all the time when working in groups, more will be achieved. Can two of these people work together and accept each others crictism and generate revolutional ideas due to this? Could sheedy perhaps collaborate with Hird or Buckley or Matthews to create a formidable coaches box? Whether Terry Wallaces fails or not (which I dont want to happen) we need to answer these questions.

Only one that could happen is James Hird as theres added incentive with Sheedy back at Punt Road too. Leigh Matthews won't coach again I don't think and Buckley will go to Collingwood or nowhere.

Which would be the optimal senario, imagine collaboration in the coaches box with these two working together.

THis board is going to be a disaster area if we don't get the points on Thursday

Glad I won't be back online after the game until at least Sunday night then.

You have to remember the players wallace drafted are only 21. The players that won hawthorn a premiership apart from buddy was the 25 year olds in hodge, mitchell, bateman, brown, ladson, croad, williams etc. We still dont have them.

Kinda of a pointless, negative post just before the season

LMAO at the mods going into hibernation, if we lose I probably will avoid posting for a week or so, though I will inspect the carnage ....

Talking about possible coaches is warranted. 5th year of the 5 year plan and nothing to show, guaranteed TW will go if he doesn't deliver.

Get Jimmy Hird to punt road

 

[tigerdan]

The problem with untried coaches at Tigerland is that they have to deliver exceptional results within 2 years or the destabilisation begins, and soon enough there is a lynch mob.

That's why we went with Wallace, and that is why we committed to a 5 year contract. It became obvious to the masses that paying him out would send us broke.

Giving him 5 years allowed him to mould the side in his fashion without being forced to top up to save his neck like Frawley did.

By all means bring guys like Hird on as assistants, and groom them to take over the reins when the time is right. That's the way i'd like us to go.

Yes I'm sure if we lose, it will all have blown over by then....

Get Jimmy Hird to punt road

...and wouldn't it be just awesome if he then stayed for a quarter of a century , led us to at least 4 flags, while in that time the Bummers went to shit and became the laughing stock of the AFL.

close the thread. appalling timing on the dawn of a new season, shameful behaviour

The bombardment of posts from Carlton and especially Hawthorn will give me enough incentive to stay at the pub.

 

[deliberate!!]

It reality, he could. I'm open to that. But I doubt it.
But we need to do really well this year, and TW gets an extension and then takes it from there. This is TW most important coaching year ever.

It's Finals or Centrelink for TW.

 

[coke_zero]

yes we all know if terry doesnt get the results this year he is gone.

 

[TigerCleavage]

My opinion is based on the fact the most successful coaches are ones that are untried

Danny Frawley was brilliant wasn't he.

 

[PHX]

And Tim Watson

And Tony Shaw.

Exactly, last 15 minutes I've been getting all worked up about the game and excited. I come on here looking to vent it into Bigfooty and instead of seeing posts about people excited for the game, I see someone saying "we won't win a premiership". Save that shit for the end of the season, right now I just want to see us get a ****ing win against the scum

 

[W. Smithers]

It'll be interesting how the players respond.

They know he's gone if they miss finals.

If the players don't like him, then we could see a shocking year and maybe Scully or Butcher.

 

[jackson_rules]

wow you just told us something we didnt know tigerpower, but in reality, its the improvements we are looking for, if we finish 8th thats an improvement, however the key that we should be looking at is if our wins are 3 or 4 qtr performances, last year we one alot of games in the 2nd qtr and almost lose them in the 3rd and 4th

 

[NQTIGER]

Christ have we started already, lets get over thursday nite before we lynch him. Very negative post deserves a yellow imo

Well said NB.

 

[Strawbs]

Yes, a pointless and negative post. Always love those calls for untried coaches who are apparently the bees knees - we have absolutely no idea if Buckley or Hird would make good coaches.
