Terry’s criteria to build a premiership team.
1. Having majority of players in the right age bracket – ideal 22 to 26
2. 3-4 regular under 22 years of age.
3. Some senior citizens, ie paul Williams, Alistair Lynch – the elite like Rob Harveys.
This is the order he sees the clubs likely to win a premiership IF YOU USE THAT FORMULA - from bottom to top obviously.
Richmond – 7 in the under 22, - not enough in 22 to 26 – Cogs and Newmo long term injury has hurt us. Ageing stars well over 26. Have a go at a premiership while they’re around but have enough of a group coming through to challenge themselves. He’s looking to set Richmond up for a decade of success. Would love to have immediate success for the Bowdens, Richos, etc but main aim is to set up a group of players for a 10 year period of success.
Essendon – too many ageing blokes. Re luring players – Tezza says they have to lure a young player into their group. Got wonderful picks recently Monfries, Rider, Dempsey, Laycock. Need a young star like Franklin and get him nothing in the second draft, they’re in a good position.
Is Caro still looking deep into Tezza's eyes? :rollinThought she was a bit of a giggling girlie tonight. You know how girls go all coy and stuff when they're around their man :rollin

Like yourself around Rainesy lol ;).
Newmo and Hartigan lol stealing bread rolls – hoping Brent wasn’t going to eat both of them and actually shared them with Chris. Skinfolds are coming down so he pleased he didn’t eat the chips and pies lol
Terry’s thoughts – I’m not including Caros because she's not concentrating on footy ;)
Goal kicking at training – okay. Under pressure situation of a game, hopeless. We have hit the post the most of all clubs this season.
Rodan – playing good footy at reserve level. Chaffey needs a few more games in 2s.
On Joel's replacement – Kel Moore probably to continue on from last week. Didn’t say who would be bringing in to replace Joel.
Caller asks about Rainsey in the middle - Terry says so many out of the backline with injuries. Yes, he can be a good midfielder, but better letting him settle and getting 50 games under his belt.
Pettifer’s fine for abusing umpires – Caro wonders what Pets was on about. Terry says he speaks about discipline every week – don’t want them missing games sitting in the stands.
Our disappointing crowd – 36,000
Caller talks about how young is too young to play footy. When do we think we’ll be a final 8 contender? Terry – how long is a piece of string – hard to predict. If you have a look at development of sides like Geelong and Dogs, Saint, most have taken a 4 or 5 year period. He thinks we’re in our third year.
Talk about an email going around about stuff on Thompson – DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT THIS IS, BECAUSE THEY AIN’T SAYING lol
Did she remember to wear a bra tonight? :PShe looked very smart, so i guess she did :thumbsup
Caller says there’s a meeting going on re Thompson at Geelong’s future. Caro says Costa is ona holiday in Noosa. Talk about an email going around about stuff on Thompson – DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT THIS IS, BECAUSE THEY AIN’T SAYING lolWas inundated with responses to this - well two people lol - funny as - seems there's one too many pussies at the cattery ;) meeeow lol. In future, if you have any scandals, send them to the social secretary for scandals (me lol :wallywink). if you haven't got any, maybe we can make some up :rollin

We'll pass them on to your PA Moi ;D.
Crunch game – we will always set one a year – if you don’t hear about it, might mean it wasn’t successful. Won’t be made public. Might have happened or may not have.
Buddy Frankin – still too early to tell if he’s going to be a champion player and hopes our selections before him will turn out just as good as he's performing now. And so say all of us :pray
I don't think Tezza is to worried about NOT getting Buddy. I cannot see Buddy being the type of player who takes on contests (read takes contested marks) - his focus currently is being a crumber which isn't what he was recruited for IMHO
Terry & Caro:
- - they went on a date today to the Tommy Hafey Club lunch
- could be 8 FTA games next year
- they went on a date today to the Tommy Hafey Club lunch
- don't need gimmicks in our game such as music after goals
- our home game so not up to Sheeds to decide anyway
Terry has a list management meeting today:
- no decisions made yet (sure. TW didn't say sure, that's my bit)
- Hawks to play 4 home games at Launceston for next 5 years, if they get 7 home & 4 away MCG games
- 77% voted for no entertainment at the GF in yesterdays poll :clapping
??? ??? How would it be any different than now?
Kim Williams, CEO of Foxtel was on:
- yet to have a resolution with 7/10
- even if one reached, will not have a sufficient base for 24 hr AFL
Like 2 people who'd been on a nice date that day, Moi. ;DTis a worry lol
Think I saw tongue in the farewell kisses at the end of the show. The lights dimmed as the music and credits rolled. Too dark to see what was going on but my screen seemed to be fogging up from the inside.I saw that too lol
Re B&F eff up Terry said Kane was just trying to do exactly what a leader should do in letting evreryone know where the club is going.
The players had been spoken to 48 hours before B&F
Mistake was they might have wanted to find them a new home and sort of wrecked that a bit.
Kane has been upset over it all week.
Silvagni – spoken to five or six ppl for 2 positions – SOS was one of them.
They spoke to him about his situation at Carlton and trying to suss out where he's at
Ashley Prescott is looking for a development job in Melbourne's west according to Grybas
Terry spoke to him 12 months ago and tried to lure him - he'd be a very worty person to have at club.

So it's out of Silvagni, Prescott, Caracella, McRae and who else?.....Re Prescott, he didn't say we were currently interviewing him - just said he interviewed him 12 months ago and was impressed with him.
2 separate positions for very different roles from what I gathered, mt. 5 or 6 interviewed for one posi and 4 or 5 for the other.
With Wheadon gone are we going to employ two of them - one as a standard assistant coach and another as development coach or just one in a combined role?

More importantly, Clinton was very touchy-feely with Caro tonight and I can see Terry having his lunch cut being on the cards.
Re what’s Caro doing for the future, she said, she just wants to stay with Terry.
Well there you have it folks, Caro officially has the hots for him poor thing lol :-* :cuddles
