Wallace will be on 3aw tomorrow night at 6.30pm going head to head facing questions from Mike Sheahan.
-
Terry on now.
-
he wants to stay on, but does Richmond want him to stay on?
i think he will not walk away.
-
* Until you get that scrutiny you don't know what it is like.
* Knew there were two scenarios that could happen this year. Haven't taken things said personally so you get on with the job.
* Upset with the set-up of the doorstep interview. Arrangement promised was broken. He got to work at 6.30am. Ch 9 crew was there. Told them off-air it was business as usual despite the loss. They said can he say that on air which he agreed. They then changed that and chucked in the question.
* He'll coach the year out. Doesn't expect the players to give up on the year so why should he. He also had a disappointing end at the Bulldogs which cut up doggie fans but also himself. Would've done things differently if he had his time over again. But that's life. The one thing is to learn from your mistakes and not repeat them.
* Believes the players support of him is still strong. Jacko bloody, Rance ending up in hospital, Moore going back on with a shoulder. They are committed. They aren't thinking of the coach when they miss a 30m kick.
* Thought the "dead man walking" headline was disappointing. Not offended but surprised. His grandkids might think he did something worse if they saw that headline in the future.
* Doesn't know where Caro gets her info from. It's not what he's been told. The RFC is paying his wage so he'll do what the RFC wants. If it gets untenible then that's different but the club has been supportive so that's no an issue.
* Hasn't given up on the year. Hasn't giving up on coaching. We still have 5 of our best to come back in returning from injury - Cotch, Browny, Sugar, Raines, .... It's not too late for supporters to stop coming through the gate. It's game on.
* Saw Collingwood get smashed by 80 points. Players out hurt. We have inexperienced players and we were less experienced than the Lions.
* Won't talk about individual players wheres, whys, etc. Happy to talk about the club and team in general.
-
* Healy asked at 3/4 time you were in a winning position yet you handed the responsibility to the players. Did you absolve yourself?
Terry said no. In the third quarter Brisbane were dominant so we played players behind the ball to stay in the game which lead to chipping sideways and all. We weren't going to win that way so asked the players if they want to continue playing like that or take them on. Players said take them on.
* Prez, board and Cameron haven't changed their position (Terry staying until the end of the year). Just a normal board meeting and it's just to check if he's still up and about and okay.
* Biggest problem with this team is we have the least players in the 24-28 y.o. in the comp. We've had to play 30+ and kids. It's going to take 8 years from 2004 to get it right when the Deledios and co reach that age.
* Richo may play later this year but everything has to go right.
* Our errors in recruiting haven't been deeper into the drafts. It's been the early choices haven't stood up. We didn't have a development coach until my 3rd year.
* He believes he'll be coaching until the end of the year. However if the club said they can't go on like this and the players said they wanted to change then he'll accept that. He'll do what's best for the RFC not himself.
* Mike said can the club go on like this and is the club better served with Wallace or a caretaker. Terry said how do you know what's going to happen over the next 15 weeks and you don't think these 5 players will make a difference.
-
That took some balls - good on him.
-
Callers......
* First caller asked how seriously have you considered dropping Browny and schulz?
Browny injured over past 3 weeks so it's a tough one. He'll definitely play better when he does comes back injury-free. He is out of contract so you'll find he has the hunger.
* second caller was a Wallace supporter challenged Healy and the media for pushing the get rid of Wallace now line.
Healy said at 1-6 and the way Richmond is playing it's natural to question if a change would be better for the club.
* Third caller congratulated Terry for taking on the RFC job. Frustrated with the slow movement of the footy. Also asked about Cleve?
Cleve lost his way there for a while as a player. It happens to everyone. It can turn as he kicked 6 goals against Port last year. He'll play Coburg seniors this week.
Wallace left with saying stick with us Tiger supporters.
-
Healy said after Terry left that for Terry to survive until the end of the year there needs to be an upkick. Win 2-3 games in the next month and he'll last. We should have beaten Sydney and could have beaten Brisbane. At 3-4 things would be different. Mike and Healy both agreed we need to win one of the next two (vs Port and Essendon). Healy said Port are depleted so there's a chance there. If Richmond are 1-8 or 1-9 by the end of the month then it'll be goodbye Terry.
Healy and Mike asked Russell who he would want to coach in 2010 - Richmond or Melbourne? Dwayne said they are both miles away so it'd be GC17 with their draft concessions. Mike said Melbourne.
-
It's a pity that Terry didn't get to answer that last caller's question about the slow and sideways ball movement. He seemed to be squirming in his seat a bit as that question was asked. It'd be pretty re-assuring for Tiger fans if Terry could have promised us that they'd at least TRY to play a more direct brand of footy.I'd love to think that we could rock up in future and not have to put up with the type of confused and indirect rubbish that they served up in the 2nd half of the Brisbane game

I think he did answer the question, he said that Brisbania was dominating so they threw extra numbers behind the footy. I feel for the bloke, this is such a cut throat game :-\ :'(
-
Laughable.
Wallace stating his best 5 players are to come back in,
You are on drugs Terry.
Sugar Johnson is finished and was last year.
Brown is just about had it as well.
Raines, well he is off to GC17 ;) and is the clanger king( Besides J. King, JON and Joel )LOL
As for Cotchin, will you break him down as well?
You said 5 players but named 4 ???

What do you want him to say? The five that are out are poo?
-
when has Johnson been in our best 5 players, hasnt been able to get a kick for the past 2 years. You must be joking.
Terry under the pump still reverts to spin doctoring.
Just shows why he cant coach. Players can see through crap ;)
-
yeah....he sure talks alot of bs.
johnson's definitely in our best 5. i wouldn't even consider him in the best 22.
no way we should be trying to win the next 2 or 3 and jeopardise our future just so terry can coach out the year. not worth it at all.
tank away play the kids
-
Well done Terry at least you still hold your head.
You insipid idiots that call yourself supporters that still bag this person we call our coach..... thats right he is still a person...... you have the brains of wacko fleas. This club is better of keeping Wallace and peeing off un-supporters like you.

Out of all this some of us do forget that TW is a person, with feelings and yes he is in it for himself! Just like the rest of us are in this world! Terry, on the suface that we see in the media is not really my cup of tea, but i respect him as a person enough not to call him things like "solarium"!Good post WAT, stick to it like some others through thick and thin, or in our case, thin and thin :whistle
-
Unlike some, he is all class :thumbsup
Very good interview and doesn't change my opinion of him
-
who is on the Richmond 'board'???
or who is in charge of the coaching etc decisions???

Tony Free

Full credit to Terry...being on 3AW was probably the last thing he wanted to do ATM....I guess its my nature but I cant help feeling sorry for him.

just Tony Free???

However if the club said they can't go on like this and the players said they wanted to change then he'll accept that. He'll do what's best for the RFC not himself.
This is what stood out for me. As I said, all class.
He's laid it out on the table where he stands.
He's also saying, in a roundabout way, for the club to say to him, hey Terry, it's not working any more, we have to let you go.
Almost sounds like he's resigned to the fact of what might happen.
He'll continue on with what he's doing until otherwise directed. So it's really up to the club, not him to walk away. He's learned from his mistakes at the Bulldogs and he's just fulfilling his obligations he made to us.
Must be pretty tough on him at the moment, but he's handling the pressure well IMO.

WA Wanker Tiger,
Hows about getting off your soapbox for a minute, it's getting really boring and you are starting to sound like a FLOG!
People are upset with the way the season/s have turn out with your mate Terry coaching us, you may think he has done a good job but facts probably don't suggest that! Let people have their say without your pathetic insults. And cut the crap about Terry being a person, he took on the job and now he has to face HIS music.
Grow up!!

500k a year im sure he will survive post football.

Terry Wallace 'won't walk' on Richmond Tigers
Courtney Walsh | May 14, 2009
EMBATTLED Richmond coach Terry Wallace last night said he wanted to coach out the season amid speculation his career at the Tigers will end within a fortnight.
Wallace, who acknowledged pre-season that Richmond needed to play finals in 2009 for him to retain his job, reiterated that he had no intention to leave the Tigers despite their disastrous start to the year.
He said a reason driving his desire to remain at Punt Rd until September was his controversial decision to abandon the Bulldogs coaching job with a match still to be played in 2001.
At the time, it was widely held he was positioning himself for the vacant Sydney spot eventually won by Paul Roos, though Wallace has denied that.
"I am committed, from my point of view, to coach out the year," Wallace said.
"There are many reasons why. You have a group of players that you start the season with ... and I would not expect any of those to (finish the season now).
"I had a really unfortunate finale at the Western Bulldogs ... and it cut me really deeply."
Wallace last night revealed he had made a special request to address a meeting of the club's board next week.
But he denied he wanted clarification about his future.
"They have made it clear to me that I am coaching and carrying on," he told Melbourne radio.
"Nothing has changed. There is a monthly board meeting (and) I just thought that the time was right for the board to see that I am still at the top of my game ... and to know where things are at."
The Tigers board declared three weeks ago it would make no decision about Wallace until the completion of an internal football club review, due at the end of next month.
Since then, Richmond posted its only win for the season against North Melbourne, were competitive against Sydney despite the potentially season-ending injury to Matthew Richardson early in the match, and then were dominant for a period against the Lions before falling away.
Wallace said he had canvassed his players to see whether he retained their support ahead of Sunday's match with Port Adelaide at AAMI Stadium.
He was confident that was the case but said if that changed, he would walk.
"At any stage, if they came to me and said it is too hard for us ... or the playing group came to me and said we need a refresher, I would do what was right for the Richmond football club, not for me," he said,
Despite the pending demise of his tenure at the club, Wallace is confident the Tigers will reach their best form in the next month.
Outstanding youngster Trent Cotchin is likely to play his first match this year against the Power, with promising defender Andrew Raines and veteran forward Nathan Brown also in consideration.
"I think over the next month, we have a real chance to reach (our best)," he said. "If it is too late for me, that is fine."

Terry Wallace plans to see out Richmond contract
Jon Ralph | May 14, 2009
RICHMOND coach Terry Wallace last night pledged to see out the rest of his contract.
Wallace vehemently denied claims the club had already decided he would be sacked, and revealed he had volunteered to front a board meeting next Tuesday.
He said president Gary March told him he would continue to coach on this year, saying he could lead the Tigers out of their dark hole.
But Wallace said if he was sacked by the Tigers or told he should stand aside for a caretaker, he would go without a fight.
He said he believed he would be coaching Richmond until the end of the season.
"Yeah, I do," Wallace said when questioned by Herald Sun chief football writer Mike Sheahan.
"But if the Richmond Football Club came to me and said, 'It's all too hard for us', and said, 'We need a refresher (or replacement)', I would do what was right for Richmond, not what is right for me. There won't be a war, there won't be a battle."
Wallace revealed for the first time his pain over his acrimonious departure from the Western Bulldogs.
In 2002 Wallace was happy to coach out the season after telling the club of his decision to leave, but was eventually pushed aside for Round 22 by president David Smorgon.
Wallace told 3AW he was determined not to play out that scenario again.
"I had a really unfortunate finish at the Western Bulldogs and it cut a lot of Bulldogs people deeply and it cut me very deeply," he said.
"If I did it again I would do if very differently. If you don't learn from mistakes, you are going down a bad path."
Wallace will speak before Richmond's board on Tuesday, but said he raised the idea.
"I asked. I just thought the timing was right for me to sit down with them and for them to see that I am on top of my game and OK, and comfortable with where things are at. I don't accept it being my last year. From where I sit I have to continue to do my job. The season is still on.
"(Richmond) have made it clear to me that I am coaching and continuing on. Craig Cameron has made that clear publicly."
Wallace said reports the club had "unofficially" decided to sack him were wrong. "I don't know where (they) get their information from. From the club president down it's not the information that's been given to me," he said.
Wallace was ambushed by a Channel 9 reporter on Tuesday and asked if he had lost the passion to coach.
He felt it was a cheap shot, after agreeing to provide a sound bite.
"I stepped out and said, 'If you want to get (shots of) us, you have to get here earlier than 7.15am'. They asked me if I would go on air and say it was business as usual. I said, 'I don't have to do it', but I was willing to do that because at least Nine would have their grab and could get onto the next story.
"I did that and they threw in the extra question, which I thought was disrespectful."

I saw on Sports Tonight last night, that Wallace meets with the board next week and a decision will be made then.

Yep that was the most interesting question asked in the whole interview as Mike wasted most of the interview repeating what he wrote in his article on whether Terry should go now or not. Terry pretty much owned Mike and sounded firm in his responses to questions. In his EOTT report Terry just says after half time the opposition was cleaner with far more effective ball use and we need to play over 4 quarters like we did in the first. That's all true but that's more a commentary on the game rather than providing a reason as to why we continually fall back into this rubbish and dumb style of play and why our confidence is so fragile that a couple of turnovers in a row can have the whole side fall to pieces both mentally and physically. More importantly what is being done to rectify the problem as it didn't just happen the Brisbane game but virtually it happens every week and we're all left banging and shaking our heads in frustration and laughter at how dumb we play. A shame time ran out before we could get some sort of answer. An admittance and recognition of the horrid way we attempt to play footy would be a start rather than 'we're not playing bad football' in articles on the official RFC website.
