Definitely the Eagles. Man it's gonna be funny when the lynch mob directs it's attention at Wallet.

After Richo retires they can put into coaching straight away, he knows the culture of Richmond.

Clarko better watch his back too H2F.

I can see the end of 2007 coaches review....

"so, Alistair, thankyou for another top 3 draft pick and priority selection, but do you actually have any other coaching skills apart from tanking..."

I am curious. Set your mind back to 2004. After all the coaches from the Bulldogs, Richmond and Hawthorn got the sack and before they recruited any coach. Who did you want to coach Hawthorn?
It can't be Clarkson, because he was bearly even known back then. It would have to be either Wallace or Eade (or possibly Gary Ayres).
If you wanted Wallace then it will explain why you would love to see fail because you envy the fact that he went to Richmond.
If you wanted Eade then you must have something personal against Wallace. If so, did you resent him while he was at the Bulldogs?
Either way. It is strange to have this unhealthy obsession with Wallace.

He was a highly regarded assistant coach. The fact that you'd barely heard of him means nothing.

Maybe he just preferred Eade, most people would.

It would be interesting to know how Richmond supporters rate Wallace's coaching performance at their club. How would they rate their current squad of players and has he got the best out of them? He was a coach that was rated highly by a lot of people prior to taking on the Richmond job. Is he still seen in that light?

....may I also add, Danny Frawley, the man whose name sends shivers down the spine of all Richmond folk, managed to get the Tigers into the finals in his 1st year at the club. We all know what happened next:thumbsdown: .

How will Richmond supporters feel about Wallace if he fails to achieve what even Frawley achieved?

You misunderstood what I was saying. For T2F to have this obsession with Wallace and it was not a result of being enviuos, then what started this obsession?
If he wanted Eade then you can rule out being envious as motivation for his obsession.

At that time I was extremely relieved to finally see Schwab go.

I had lived through so much pain seeing Knights, Judge and then Schwab dismantle my great club and turn it into something almost as bad as Richmond.

At the time to be honest I was more focused on the Chief. He was making all the right noises and I had a strange sense of confidence that the club was finally going to do the right thing.

I trusted the Chief and when he overlooked Wallet and Ayres I was happy. Then we he overlooked Eade as well, I began to be a little puzzled.

When they appointed Clarkson I did some homework and realised that he was highly regarded at Port Adelaide who had just won a flag.

When I saw that Hardwick, Pelchin and Russell followed him to the Hawks this gave me great confidence as they were the masterminds at the Power and wouldn't follow Clarkson unless they believed in him.

The reason I love ripping into your club is that I am very much into strategy. I live it at work and in life.

I admire the strategy the Hawthorn Football Club has taken and have been able to identify their plan very early on, with much excitement.

Being cognisant of this plan and watching it realise, is very rewarding.

What it does though is give you a much greater perspective on how ridiculous Wallet's modus has been and I have absolutely no doubt he will turn your club into dust within another 18 months or so.

This is why I give it to you. Because you guys will not open your eyes.

The minute you do you will be upset and rightly so, but at this point I won't have anything to criticise you about, I will feel sorry for you.

As I said I lived through a horror period at the Hawks and don't wish it on anyone.

What annoys me about you though is I knew the plan sucked at Hawthorn right through the horror of Knights, Judge and Schwab. I didn;t live in denial and didn't acknowledge it only after each of the sackings.

You guys need to wake up and smell Wallets crud, only then can I relate to you guys, instead of reading your meaningless and stupid responses on how the Tigers are doing well under Wallet.

Thanks Hawk-eye, I would have preferred Eade than Wallet.

Out of the three I believe Clarkson is by far the best choice now, in hindsight.

Richmonds list was at a different stage of development when Wallace took over from Frawly. Quite simply Richmonds list was in the worst shape it has been in living memory (and for our team that is really saying something) when Frawly's contract ran out. Frawly had a good five years to turn Richmond into a strong team.
When Wallace came to Richmond he has done a complete overhual of the list and looking long term. Richmond supporters are prepared to give Wallace time because of how bad the list was when Wallace took over. All Richmond supporters want to see is signs that the team is improving and heading in the right direction at the moment.
