What is really ennoying, get home from the game, put the TV on and see the press conference.

Shut the door on the way out you idiot Wallace.
Supporters are bleeding and you smiling and laughing it off. :banghead :banghead :banghead :banghead :banghead :banghead :banghead :banghead :banghead :banghead :banghead
You left the doggies in a mess, you have done the same to us.

the best part of it Jack was the bit when he said "He asked the boys to lift at half time and they did"
Sorry??? Lift he says. We farqin lost the game how is that lifting.
If anyone questions weather Wallace is a good fit for our club have a listen to this press conference. Almost sounds like he is content with things after half time. Love the comparisons to our Geelong game.
we lost that game too champ.
goodbye good riddons

What about the part on 3AW they played back about "how we won 3 quarters"" ::) :banghead
UNBELIEVABLE

Yep we had all the play in the last 15 minutes as Melbourne had only one player on the bench and they were spent.
August 28 2004 Spud's last game as coach we were bottom of the ladder.
Whenever Terry is told to go whether today tomorrow or seasons end our ladder position will be 16th also with no hope of a rebuld as GC 17 and WS 18 taking draft picks and about 20-25 players on our list who need to be delisted.
At least when Spud left we had a chance to rebuild.
Thank you Terry. From the moment you got the gig at Tigerland for 5 years everything you have said has been the opposite.
Thank you Terry for all that you've done.
Please show some class and dinity and resign. You have done enough.
Please.

Tuckerbag, dont forget the $3,000,000 he has collected on the way, maybe there is a cash incentive winning wooden spoons :banghead

Wallet's 5 year plan has left us in worse shape than what he inherited.

I don't believe that for a second. At least we have a good bunch of kids coming through, can't say the same for Fraudley

Now let me see, Jarrod Jokley Nichols, Cleve Hughes, Jake King, Richard Tambling, Jack Reidwoldt( Lots of hype, been ordinary this year). Shane Edwards , Matt White ( tries hard, king of the turnovers) :banghead :banghead :banghead

Plough vows to fight like a Tiger

RICHMOND coach Terry Wallace himself is bracing for the toughest week of his coaching career but says he’s ready to face anything thrown his way in the wake of the Tigers’ embarrassing loss to Melbourne.
“You don’t get much tougher than last week,” Wallace said.
“I’m ready for it.”
After a week of intense media scrutiny the Tigers failed to handle the pressure against a young Demon outfit, coughing up an eight-goal second term before a valiant but futile second-half comeback fell eight points short.
Having asked the media to judge his team on its opening month of football, and not on its round one disaster against Carlton, Wallace expects judgements to be harsh.
“I think over the last week we were judged and I think we will be judged again over the next week again,” he said.
He said under no circumstance would he shy away from the challenge ahead.
“I wouldn’t expect my players to do so and I asked them exactly that question at halftime and I don’t think they did,” he said.
“I think I would be a hypocrite if I was asking my players to do that (lift) and then decided to (chuck it in) because it was all too hard.”
Wallace lamented his side’s inability to win contested football and handle the pressure placed on it in the wake of a disastrous start to the year.
“The pressure of the situation needs to be handled,” he said.
“That type of pressure has brought down champion sportsmen all over the world, but this is a pressure-cooker environment and if you don’t want to handle it, and it’s too hot in the kitchen, then you’re not going to survive in this game.”
Now in his fifth year at the helm, Wallace said he felt the same frustration as supporters and to why a side, which went into the season with expectations sky high, is now one of only two winless teams in the competition.
“I could understand the supporters having 400 questions, as we (coaches) have 400 questions, because everyone looks to the senior coach for all the answers,” he said.
“All that I can say is that the only saving grace is that I went to them at half-time and said this has been diabolical and are you going to fight. I thought they answered that aspect of it and fought in a manner which you would expect them to.
“I reckon if we get our contested possession right we can get back into some area of form.
“Until we get that aspect of our game right, everything else goes out the door.”
Melbourne won the contested possession count 114-108 but hammered the Tigers in the match-winning second term.
While happy to talk team, Wallace was not about to publicly berate his playing group.
“I don’t think that’s fair,” he said.
“I’m the public face of the footy club and that’s the way it will be. Internally we’ll deal with how we handle our players, but I’ve never been someone who externally speaks about the playing group.”
Wallace said he would meet with club president Gary March, who was not at the game, and football manager Craig Cameron in the next 24 hours to debrief what’s been one of the darkest weeks in the football club’s history.
“Obviously he’s (March) been questioning of how we are playing and where we are going which is exactly the president’s right and should be his right,” he said.
Richmond has a six-day back up before tackling North Melbourne at Etihad Stadium next Saturday night.

terry was not the problem today, i never saw terry miss a target and stuff up on the ground
white brown jackson simmonds were our problem today, esp white and jackson with their disposal
terry said he will drop players that cant kick wekk if thats the case white and jackson should never play again
its time brown and simmonds retired......not joel bowden, all his baggers should eat humble pie cos he was fantastic today

Just think of this for a sec.
Gary Ablett had 46 touches last night
Joel had 44 today.
It's not about quantity but quality. Ablett's touches sparked something for the Cats
Inside 50's goals setting up goals play out of the backline clearances etc.
What did Joel's possessions achieve other than chip chip chip footy that gets us nowhere? no inside 50's no goal set ups no precise play just possession accumulation that results in givng the stats men RSI with no visual delight.
Whilst Terry was not on the ground today he did recruit he does select at the selection table and he does coach the players who create these clangers and turnovers. The fish does rot at the head unfortunantely.

CORRECT!

I thought Joel was very good today. Lots of long precise kicks hitting the target, all forward from what I remember.
A nice run down the outer wing and pass onto Richo's chest 25m out for a goal in the 2nd quarter, which apparently didn't happen.
