Is it over?
What spin did he give us today? :shh
-
Plough's doing his Tuesday's with Terry interview at the moment at Punt Rd. SEN will replay it shortly.
-
Durka Durka injuries Durka Durka injuries Durka Durka good Newy for returning strong Durka Durka injuries Durka Durka injuries Durka Durka Mcguane report good to see dropped Durka Durka strange audio interference durka durka its between presidents Durka Durka Playing it straight Durka Durka Terry has friends Durka Durka over.
Well that was fun. :-\
-
Summary
* Newman and Polo with him. We didn't hear from them though. Newman terrific first game back. Polo ran around with Murphy and handed himself well in that area. This wasn't set up for those players that played well.
* Need to concentrate on the whole 4 quarters not just one bad quarter. Terrific game of footy but the result obviously didn't go the way we wanted. We played some good attacking footy so we take some positives from that. We went too defensive and too tempo footy. You still need to attack to win the game. We fell into trying to save the game instead of winning it.
* We trained on substandard grounds - Vic Park. Hard as a rock. Not good enough for elite athletes causing stress injuries. Not sure how water restrictions works with AFL training grounds. Time and energy needs to be spent on getting that right. Some clubs have good grounds and their own grounds - Blues have Princes Park in terrific nick and just one injury. More emphasis needs on getting the right training grounds to prevent injuries.
* Talk about the umps in between the crackle of the recording. Everyone still getting use to the rules. People not sure which way things will go (Whelan incident).
* No comment about March or Smorgon's comments. Just really surprised by Smorgon's comments after 4 years given the good things happening there. Leave it to the presidents to sort out. Plough's still got friends there and doesn't want to involve them. So no further comment to make.

LOL. Yeah the reporter must have been using a wind up tape recorder. The interview would jump to a new topic in the middle of Plough talking about something ???.

What to do with the Richmond CC over summer then? We have our own ground but we can't train on it during summer due to the cricket pitch.

I can't remember, does the RFC own/control 50% of the RCC?

Yep - RFC has a 51% contolling interest in the cricket club who controls the lease of Punt road oval

ummm .. when did that happen ???

LOL. In the second quarter we were okay. 65 kicks, 29 hballs is what the ratio should be = 2:1.
You can't when they have a lease with the council
I can't remember, does the RFC own/control 50% of the RCC?
Yep - RFC has a 51% contolling interest in the cricket club who controls the lease of Punt road oval
Can the RFC use this leverage to influence RCC decisions (ie. play elsewhere in the Richmond area, for example at Bartlett reserve) ?
-
Oh Terry, blaming the grounds for the injuries ::)
Players say they have had the ""guts"" trained out of them :whistle
-
terry will blame everything else ...
he always has an excuse towards a loss ...
injuries !!! etc etc ...
how about ... "YOUR GAME PLAN IS BAD" ... "AND YOU AND YOUR PLAYERS HAVE NO HEART" ...

Word from Princess Park that the Tiges were soft. Went missing when the heat was turned up
-

Well they would know about softness after back to back wooden spoons. LOL @ getting cocky after round 1. Oh that's right they won in round 1 last year too. 1 of just 3 wins for the year.
-
mate, only telling you what I was told.
And further, the Tiges had built this game right up too.
Can tell you that players on each team are best of mates, fact
So yes, they do talk.

And the Blues didn't ???. Sheesh no other club at the moment would be on such a high with such momentum and few injuries. They've been talking themselves up for that game for 2 weeks.
Hardly not public info about being friends. Newy and Fev are best mates. Why Fev almost crossed over to Punt Rd. Perhaps that's the problem.
-
Houls and Petts. You might find they even live together ;)

Is it over?
What spin did he give us today? :shh
For a start tigersalive I'm not picking on you, but merely making a comment here on a false perception that has subtley been creeping in on our supporter base through the antagonistic attitude of a small minority of our pretendered supporters.
This false perception is that Wallace is a spin doctor, now isn't that a lovely nice clean term for the word "rubbish artist" because that's what these antagonists are trying to convince us of. Their trying to convince us that Terry Wallace is a rubbish artist and that we should not trust him or anything he says. In actual fact these people would pretty much love for us to lynch Wallace and to get rid of him. Fantastic isn't it.
The truth of the matter is that Wallace is probably one of the best and most articulate communicators in the coaching ranks of AFL level, because he has this ability does NOT make him a spin doctor. When he came to the club we were all so relieved that we now had a person who could more than adequately communicate to the press and the supporters in relation to the activities of the club. Wallace is light years in front of anybody we have had at the club for a long long time in this capacity and the antagonists know this just as much as we do and they hate it.
Wallace has been very good, he's been more transparent than any other coach i have ever seen. If Wallace is a spin doctor (which he isn't) then I would hate to think of what Sheedy, Malthouse and ad infinitum are. Wallace IS a great communicator and we should be thankfull that is one area of our club that we DONT need to fix.
-
Hold on a tick, he has been caught out telling lies in the past 2 weeks or have you forgotten ?
Told all supporters Simmo would be right for Round 1. I actually asked Simmo and he said round 4,fact
Next one was the Nathan Brown episode.
Told everyone he was ready to go. Poor bloke couldnt walk down swan street last tuesday. Mike Sheehan made the club look stupid.
Spin Doctoring. 100%
-
And you know and any damn fool will know that clubs say stuff not to upset supporters, but not to give the opposition any ammo.
Give us a break! :banghead
-
Why lie to supporters ?
-
Come on guys... we are turning into the Carlton boardroom with all this in-fighting ::)
We ALL barrack for the same team, yes we have our own opinoins, but I'm really getting quite annoyed with it. It's only round 1, let's all jump back on the band-wagon and support the club we love :gotigers
-
As long as the club come clean I am happy. No more crap.
Furthermore, I think we will win this week. No I am not on any medication either :o

BTW Rog, well said :thumbsup
I remember when Danny was at press conferences and Miller would have to come in for damage control.
And weren't we just rapt when Terry came and didn't need to have someone monitor his every movement, that we knew he would portray this club in the most professional way, something which really was lacking. In a way, he has brought back respectability to this club by the way he has conducted himself IMO.
-
yes moi

Well done... admitting is the first step :lol
Obviously moved past the denial stage swiftly ;D

Don't let him lull you into a false sense of security there, Steph.
By saying he thinks we'll win this week translates to "we should win and if we don't there will be hell to pay for Terry". :lol
Beware the shifty bastard!!

Actually reckon we can round rounds 2 and 3 then lose the next 8. Draw is very very hard, have a look
-
Take your medication, Jack.
You thought the wooden spooners last year were a shoe in last week, and the grand finalists of last year are easy beats.
Something really screwy happening here :banghead
-
Didnt say they were easybeats, just think we might be able to catch them off guard.
If we cant win the next two games, the draw is hard. we have three interstate trips in FIVE weeks and play Western Bulldogs and West Coast in succession. Then face Geelong at the Dome
-

Do you think the Swans might be vulnerable based on their preparation for this season and we're they're at?
Lots of teams don't prepare to win the opening games, but more to be up and about at the end of the season.
They certainly looked flat last week.

RESPECTABILITY :lol
We are still the laughing stock on the AFL.
The Bulldogs laugh at us for picking up Wallet. FACT!!!
And there are reasons for those facts. Too mnay numbers and stats involved which give everyone a false view of what's actually happening.
Terry has what you call the "gift of the gab" basically a rubbish artist.
One of the guys from work is and has been the president on the Bulldogs cheer squad for a number of years. He has never said a good word about wallace, even before we appointed him.
Wallace and Miller have further ruined the credibility of our club by talking crap. Miller more so than Wallace. I can tell you that not one other AFL club has any respect for Miller and that is FACT.
He is a shifty conman.
-
We agree :clapping :bow :clapping :bow :clapping :bow :clapping :bow :whistle :whistle
Yes and no we agree.
Because that's what I think was happening to the Tiges last week, yet I don't think you were as sympathetic towards them as you seem to be with the Swans.
To lose your whole ruck division and have players like Richo coming back and probably not fit enough to be out there, don't you think some consideration should be given to us as well, before you hastily dismiss a whole season based on one round of football?

Gee what a marvel is Wallace, all he done was tell the players what to do.
And the game plan for that day came from our forward scout who had analysed the Crows for a month prior :shh

What spin did he give us today? :shh
For a start tigersalive I'm not picking on you, but merely making a comment here on a false perception that has subtley been creeping in on our supporter base through the antagonistic attitude of a small minority of our pretendered supporters.
This false perception is that Wallace is a spin doctor, now isn't that a lovely nice clean term for the word "rubbish artist" because that's what these antagonists are trying to convince us of. Their trying to convince us that Terry Wallace is a rubbish artist and that we should not trust him or anything he says. In actual fact these people would pretty much love for us to lynch Wallace and to get rid of him. Fantastic isn't it.
The truth of the matter is that Wallace is probably one of the best and most articulate communicators in the coaching ranks of AFL level, because he has this ability does NOT make him a spin doctor. When he came to the club we were all so relieved that we now had a person who could more than adequately communicate to the press and the supporters in relation to the activities of the club. Wallace is light years in front of anybody we have had at the club for a long long time in this capacity and the antagonists know this just as much as we do and they hate it.
Wallace has been very good, he's been more transparent than any other coach i have ever seen. If Wallace is a spin doctor (which he isn't) then I would hate to think of what Sheedy, Malthouse and ad infinitum are. Wallace IS a great communicator and we should be thankfull that is one area of our club that we DONT need to fix.
Most sensible thing said on this thread,with all due respect to everyone
Im frustrated too but sheez lets not sink to the moronic levels of a collingwood or essendon supporter on this forum please.

First and foremost I'm a supporter of the Richmond Football Club, not everyone who's on the field or in the coaches box and will be critical as I feel, especially of a man who was signed up on massive money with a "5 year plan."
I've been a supporter of Terry and his media friendliness as it gives us good exposure since our President is a hermit most of the time and our captain isnt much better.
However its annoyed me lately that as said earlier he kept saying Brownie was right, when as it turned out he clearly wasnt and Simmonds wont be back until round 4 imo but Terry will keep saying next week. I'm just getting frustrated.
Terry needs to stop the antics, if we arent good enough for the 8, say so.
Show us some kind of game plan they've been working on.
Drag anyone who constantly chips to make an example.
Drop Tambling and bring up a real worker like King and let Tambling know he's not a protected species.
Just some idea for him. ;)

Show us some kind of game plan they've been working on.
Drag anyone who constantly chips to make an example.
Drop Tambling and bring up a real worker like King and let Tambling know he's not a protected species.
Just some idea for him. ;)
Great post.
He has been there 3 years and the game plan is crap.
He has guys like Raines and Bowden kicking 35 metres each time sideways I might add when they are the best kicks in the club, now you want to talk game plan, it was like BLIND MICE on sunday.
I have some knowledge of the game and what I have seen for the past 2 years is rubbish!. If supporters want to see finals football you wont be seeing it with play like this, i can ensure you of that

More like DUMB MICE Jack. Joel's kicks were perfectly on target on the weekend. Problem was the target was Fev :help. It says something when the Tiger with the most effective kicks was Tivs lol.

I believe he already has :shh
:rollin
Fair enough he gets bagged for telling porkies about injured players but he got bagged for being actually being honest about us being not good enough yet.

First and foremost I'm a supporter of the Richmond Football Club, not everyone who's on the field or in the coaches box and will be critical as I feel, especially of a man who was signed up on massive money with a "5 year plan."
I've been a supporter of Terry and his media friendliness as it gives us good exposure since our President is a hermit most of the time and our captain isnt much better.
However its annoyed me lately that as said earlier he kept saying Brownie was right, when as it turned out he clearly wasnt and Simmonds wont be back until round 4 imo but Terry will keep saying next week. I'm just getting frustrated.
I agree with that, but you've got to remember TA, it's all about selling memberships. I would be surprised if there is not a clause in Wallace's contract that gives him a bonus based on the amount of members, Frawley had it. That's why Wallace hid it IMO. The Paul Maley incident directing the coach not to use 'negative' language a couple of years ago revealed who's running the show at footy clubs these days.

Obviously didn't cost us a cent extra lol :shh

hehe, with all the membership cards I saw flying down the players race, he probably owed the club money!

Oh Terry, blaming the grounds for the injuries ::)
Players say they have had the ""guts"" trained out of them :whistle
Have to disagree with you hear - if the media bothered to play the entire question he was asked and his entire answer - you will find he was talking about the effect on all clubs not just the RFC
And to be honest he is right - some of the grounds are not at an appropriate standard. Whether we like it or not we are talking about very highly paid athletes here and the AFL have a duty of care to ensure all grounds are at least to minimum standard - currently they are not. Obviously the water restrictions have had a huge impact

Didnt know he'd actually come out and categorically said it.
It's a start I suppose.

Jack - I think the question needs to be asked - why do you have such a chip on your shoulder? Why are you so anti-Wallace?
There must be more to this - did he "wrong" you in some way? Did he sack you from a job?
Because the way you are behaving is a lot like an ex-lover or ex-husband behaves when they've split up acrimoniously..... that is, they have a lot of bitterness and nothing good to say at all, and they never let a chance go by to stick the boot in. In the end, everybody loses, including the perpetrator.
Whatever it is that is bothering you, move on, and relax and enjoy your footy.
And it's not just Jackstar...some other people seem to be posting on issues relating to the club, coach and players with a lot of bitterness and bias that is out of proportion to the current situation. There is most definitely a lack of proportion and balance in many of the things I've read.

Im sorry i missed most of this thread, hadnt really noticed it, what a pee-er of a thread lol. Anyway, look we lost lets get on with it, I was most disappointed to but time to move on, things i want 2 see, Deledio running more and when the team goes 27 points up- i dont want to see that tempo crap- that is not finals football- thats football you do 1 or 2 times a year- last year it was almost every round, and if we wanna get to be a serious football side we shouldnt be doing it often.

Tempo footy - I reckon you should only do that with 5 minutes to go

Must ask Joffa what he thinks of Micky next time I see him :wallywink :rollin
HEHEHEHE

:clapping
i said that a few weeks ago
Are you sure you are not David Clayton jack ?

Tempo footy is about trying to change and then control the momentum of the game. The problem was on Sunday we had the momentum when we slowed the game down. We did Carlton a favour and let them back into the game.

He wouldn't be the only person involved with the footbal department at punt road that
doesn't believe The tiges have it right.
We're the same as the frawley years.
If u expect anything,you obviously haven't appraised our predicament yet.
We completely rabbleised.
-
Hey , I have my opinion and I reckon we are heading in the wrong direction on the field.
enough said i reckon.
Let the club do the talking on the field.

Is it over?
What spin did he give us today? :shh
For a start tigersalive I'm not picking on you, but merely making a comment here on a false perception that has subtley been creeping in on our supporter base through the antagonistic attitude of a small minority of our pretendered supporters.
This false perception is that Wallace is a spin doctor, now isn't that a lovely nice clean term for the word "rubbish artist" because that's what these antagonists are trying to convince us of. Their trying to convince us that Terry Wallace is a rubbish artist and that we should not trust him or anything he says. In actual fact these people would pretty much love for us to lynch Wallace and to get rid of him. Fantastic isn't it.
The truth of the matter is that Wallace is probably one of the best and most articulate communicators in the coaching ranks of AFL level, because he has this ability does NOT make him a spin doctor. When he came to the club we were all so relieved that we now had a person who could more than adequately communicate to the press and the supporters in relation to the activities of the club. Wallace is light years in front of anybody we have had at the club for a long long time in this capacity and the antagonists know this just as much as we do and they hate it.
Wallace has been very good, he's been more transparent than any other coach i have ever seen. If Wallace is a spin doctor (which he isn't) then I would hate to think of what Sheedy, Malthouse and ad infinitum are. Wallace IS a great communicator and we should be thankfull that is one area of our club that we DONT need to fix.
Totally agree with this.
There's more spin around that Terry's a spin doctor than there is that comes out of his mouth.
So he's made a few misjudgements the last few weeks.
BIG stuffing DEAL!!!
Some 'supporters' of this club will look for any reason possible to pull it down,.
He's two years and one game into a five year contract and people are acting as if the sky is falling in.
We're the same as the frawley years.
If u expect anything,you obviously haven't appraised our predicament yet.
We completely rabbleised.
Some folks have pretty short memories that don't go back to 2004.
It takes time. For goodness sakes show some patience instead of white anting our coach.

Word from Princess Park that the Tiges were soft. Went missing when the heat was turned up
Liam Pickering just said we've been soft for years. Going sideways caused it's safe.

liam would know exactly what it takes to be soft as he was made of fairy floss himself.
