Guys let everybody know what we think
-
Well I have been and are still away on Holiday in Perth at the moment. How did I know we would have another 500 threads like this one when I logged on!!!!! Give it up and sack some of the poo players we have like Edwards, Polo (one good game player) and a couple of others.
-
Well look the coach sets the tone and he is the one who plays the duds. I dont think our list is as bad as terry gets out of it and we have made no improvements in 5 years? why is it so wrong to want the best from our club?

Polo's played 2 games so far this season and been in our best in both of those games..
So I don't think he qualifies as a "one game good player". Was close to our best today. Laid one of the best tackles you will ever see and his reward the umpire flapping his arms calling play on and the ball dribbling to a Dogs player for a goal
-
stuff off. One thread was enough. ::)
He's under pressure but to sack Wallace now would have us a laughing stock. We are 3 games in, still plenty of water to go under the bridge.
-
Settle down guys, just want to know when people think he will get the sack? and would be good if he stays because it means we will make the finals
-
C'mon WP I couldn't say he was one of the best I mean poo there would have only been four best and I would have said; Richo, McGuane, Foley, Moore and a few others in front of Polo. This side has too many Polo's. Got to go soon the missus needs the computer.

Polo didn't have a clanger
Foley had another 30 odd touches but turned it over a number of times. Sometimes it aint about quantity it's about quality
No disrespect WATiger but you were watching on TV right?
I know I harp on this but TV doesn't show alot of pressure stuff that happens off the ball.
-
we might need another clean out?

Can you put an option in your poll if you don't want him sacked? ::)
-
ok will do guys
-
...and an option whether anyone thinks you're Jackstar's love child?

no surprises to hear your still in love with your beloved Wallet.
when are you going to accept that fact that he is useless and it is because of him and the recruiting department that we find ourselves with 90 % of b-d grade footballers.
One matchwinner- Richo
hear that one match winner. other clubs have plenty and we have one. How said is that?
-
Plough's out of contract at the end of the season so no need to sack him.

No no we have to ... that's what we are supposed to do
As a friend texted me tonight saying "sack him, it's the richmond way"
We are our own worst enemy- seriously
-

Depends on what the board have in mind.
If they are hellbent on Campbell with Sheeds steering him then the sooner the better. Just make Ploughs termination 'mutual' and cast Campbell as the caretaker coach. You find out if Campbell's up to the task.
There's probably going to be a clear out of players at season's end too and I think getting a new coach and showing we are fair dinkum about not accepting mediocrity will spur the better characters on to play for their careers.

Never had any noticeable effect when we've booted coaches out in the past
If the same players can play dead now, they can do it when it suits them in the future.
This is Richmond. I'll believe that when I see it
-
I just think we need to try something, i can not see the point in persisiting when it clearly hasnt got us any where
-
Getting rid of terry this early in the season is not the answer, we do need to make changes, drop all the guys who are underperforming, and give others a go. Wayne Campbell might well be a future RFC coach, but not yet. Hes not ready, and the there is no job like the richmond job. can be a career graveyard :lol

Tony Jewell and Barry Richardson lend support to Terry Wallace
Sam Edmund | April 14, 2009 09:10pm
TWO sacked Richmond coaches have called on the Tigers to resist dumping Terry Wallace if their losing streak continues. Tony Jewell and Barry Richardson said sacking Wallace mid-year would achieve nothing and risked throwing Punt Rd into further disarray.
But they predicted Wallace would be hit with a barrage of almost unbearable scrutiny if Richmond lost to Melbourne at the MCG on Sunday.
"This week will tell us. If Melbourne get away from them all hell will break loose," Jewell said.
"There will be some fierce pressure come to bear from all angles. The press, the supporters, we've had truckloads of s . . t dumped on our doorstep."
Jewell, who was ruthlessly sacked a year after steering the Tigers to the 1980 premiership, conceded Wallace's future may be out of his hands.
"Traditionally, if the supporters scream loud enough the board has knee-jerk reactions to it," he said. "The players are all aware of what's going on and that makes the job twice as hard. They know you're on the skids.
"Even his own support staff, they know if Terry goes they're gone too, so you get coaches in survival mode . . . everyone is thinking about their own future.
"They can turn it around like they did last year, but if it continues like it is (Wallace) is dead in the water."
Richardson, who played in three Tiger premierships before coaching the club for two years, was adamant Wallace should be allowed to see the year out.
He said the blame should be equally shared by the players.
"I certainly don't believe in sacking coaches mid-season. I think it's a bad strategy and very seldom does it work," Richardson said.
"I tend to look at things like recruiting and drafting and those things rather than pointing at the coach all the time."

Jewell, :
"Traditionally, if the supporters scream loud enough the board has knee-jerk reactions to it," he said. "The players are all aware of what's going on and that makes the job twice as hard. They know you're on the skids.
Nah... wouldn't happen at Tigerland would it Colonel? Argh yeah it would I forgot
He said the blame should be equally shared by the players.
Agree with you 100% Barry but heh what would you know, you're only a premiership player? I said the same thing and I get howled down...
"I certainly don't believe in sacking coaches mid-season. I think it's a bad strategy and very seldom does it work," Richardson said.
Thank you for some common sense

ill tell you one club it worked for, the blues!!!
getting rid of Pagon after the Lions game was a masterstroke and they will win a flag before us, you can pretty much put your house on it.

every tiger fan loves and respects matty richardson, on radio yesterday he made it quite clear the players support and want terry. he told all the media to back off. thats goes to all the pretend rfc fans who dont really "support" our team also.
if all you pricks dont support our club 100% then pee off, it is times like this that the club needs us all to stick together and get tighter, not fall apart. it is not the club that fails, they are trying, the biggest failures at the rfc are their "pretend" supporters who have hidden agendas and dont want us to be stable but fall apart.
we have coaching staff, team lists and club administrators..........support them all and show the world we are ar united team or stuff off

...if all you pricks..
...then pee off..

The blues have done nothing yet apart from win a couple of NAB cups.
You can hardly give the credit to Ratten for any success they have in the next few years, their woeful season form in years gone by and the resulting draft picks are the reason for any success they have in the next five years.
In fact even their drafting is not tip top from memory, apart from their obvious no brainers first round draft picks they have had a few duds in there drafting.

I can see one positives in sacking Wallace and one positive in keeping him.
In order:
(Sacking) give someone like Campbell a go to se if he can coach under Sheedy's help, if not look eles were at seasons end.
(Keeping) This would send a message that the Tigers will honour the coaching contract, so the likes of Hardwick Matthews or Chocco might consider taking on the job.
I favour keeping i think it is a hard one!!
I think that if we keep the coach we need to look more at our skills coach if we have not got one GET ONE NOW. If we have one sack him striaght away and get another.
I also think we need to keep our game plan simple forget flooding and all that crap. Long kick man on man for four quarters, down the middle no side kicks less handballs. We have not got the skills to be fancy we need to play on passion man on man and win games the hard way.At least we will see who we really should keep and who not too.
