Title: Wallace to be Coach
Post by: Bulluss on July 14, 2004, 02:36:38 PM
A guy rang up before on SEN and claimed that he was involved with the Eltham Footy Club(i think it was Eltham) and said that their current coach Phil Mailin has told them that he wont be coaching them next season as he will be at Richmond working under Terry Wallace.

I hope this is true!!

Wasn't Maylin an assistant at the Dogs while Wallace was playing and then Wallace first started coaching the Dogs?

I just hope one way or another they make an decision or better yet an announcement soon. ;)

Yep Phil Maylin has been coach of Eltham since 2003 and was a Bulldog assistant coach when Wallace was there. Maylin was told to move on by the Dogs after Terry left.

Yes Maylin has coached Eltham for 2 years and has Simon Cox,Adam Contessa and Mick Martyn(no the other one) playing there as a result of his days at the Bulldogs.He coached Bulleen-Templestowe before his stint with the dogs.
I know blokes who play there so l'll get my snooping into gear and report back soon.

This will get the tongues wagging ;)
Terry Wallace HAS asked Brian Royal to be one of his assistants next year, he declined the offer either to stay at the Kangaroos or possibly go back to the Bulldogs. Lets hope Terry doesnt ask Libba to be one of his assistants as I will spew !
Seems like Terry is getting his team together already  ;)

No Libba - please >:(  :-\

I am heading off to Bunnings now to get 100 litre bucket just in case Libba's on board  ;D ;D :D ;D ;D - could be a great fund raiser for OER or the RFC - "A spew fest"  ;D ;D ;D

I thought Libba had a 2 year deal at Carlton ???

Then I better get a 500 litre bucket ;D ;D

I wonder if there is any ex-Tiger players that (if) Terry is going to be coach he would consider bringing to Richmond?

Straight form the horses mouth, I rang Phil and asked him if this is true he strongly denied it, I pressed him and said he definetely doesnt want to get into AFL again, he did say however his future at Eltham is under review, but with confidentiality clauses its not like he can come out and openly admit it.....  ;)

Hmmm interesting news....

I know Wallace's fitness trainer and he said that Libba is staying at the Blues so that will put your mind at ease. He also said that Wallace contacted him after the Cats loss and said your on stand-by. So I know that we did contact Wallace early in the season...havent heard anything since.
Title: Latest from SEN: Wallace to be Coach but not the Tigers
Post by: WilliamPowell on July 19, 2004, 11:19:36 AM
On my way to work this morning I heard that "Deep Throat" segment.

It was suggested that Don Scott is about to launch his alternative ticket to take over the Hawks and as part of his platform he will guarantee Terry Wallace as coach of the Hawks in 2005. :o :o :o

Timmy Watson added that his "mail" was that if they were to sack Schwab and his assistants it would/could cost the Hawks about $2 million.

Please stop it.......the suspense is driving me crazy.

I am just hoping that the Wallace or Eade deal is done otherwise I hold grave fears now that Schwabb has been given the flick.

We were in a box seat, FRAWLEY quit to give them time to manouvre and if they stuff it up now we are in serious serious trouble both on and off the field.

What is it with wallace , we have to thoroughly look at all options, he is not the be all and end all, i predicted weeks ago that wallace would go to hawks following schwabs resignation, he will go there i reckon, with ayres possibly.
Eade is not such a bad prospect but we need to look all over not just the obvious too many people are banking on wallace to resurrect us, if he does get appointed and fails god so many supporters will calling for heads to roll, so settle back guys and lets hope we get this appointment right.

Wallace was on WLF last night.

He’s being very tactful and careful in what he says, as all candidates would be, and isn't giving anything away, which is fair enough.

He believes that he will be coaching next year, but won’t be deciding anything until all positions available become clear.

He will take the emotion out of the decision and will make a business decision on which Club he goes to.  One of his main requirements is that he be on the same wave-length with that Club, i.e. they have similar views in the direction the Club should take, which is understandable.

Asked about recruiting players, he said he preferred to remain flexible about drafting experienced players to a Club.

At this stage, he has only had a coffee with Greg Miller.

If he is not such a good deal then why are the Hawks and Crows chasing him as well.  Personally i think either Wallace or Eade would be both good coaches but I favour Wallace for several reason.

1.  He did more with less at the Bulldogs;
2.  He is more media savy (= sponsorship dollars)
3.  The player at the Dogs loved him

eade would do just as good a job, terry loves the self promotion, so many supporters crawling up his backside thinking he is some sort of fricking saviour.

That another plus the self promotion is what sponsors are looking for.  Surely that must be a +

Plough must surely be having second thoughts about Hawthorn after today ;D ;D

Come on get onboard the Tiger bandwagon

With schwab now saying he will do whats best for the club even if that means walking and getting replaced asap i am worried that they will get wallace.

Even though walalce said he wont take over mid year that will be interesting.

Post by: mightytiges on July 24, 2004, 10:29:27 PM
If Schwab walked now I would very much doubt Wallace, Eade or whoever is in the running would step in. It would more likely be one of their assistant coaches as happened in Adelaide and us with Geischen taking over from Walls.

If Schwabb walked early i bet Dermie would step in and if he went ok............. :thumbsup

Not sure of why people think wallace did better with less
The Dogs may have lacked key position quality but they had one of the best if not best
running/midfield divisions in the afl...

There is also a massive question on his ability to recruit , if people
think the recruiting and list devlopment of frawley has been bad look at the dogs under
wallace...

At least Frawley had the good sense to get rid of Aaron James , guess which club then thought it a good idea
to pick him up?


You have only to look at Wallaces comments regarding Schulz , he has no idea about talls.

He is a good coach but nothing more...


I would prefer Eade or GoD

Yeh i heard wallace didnt do that well while eade helped recruiting the likes of goodes, crouch, kirk, j.bolton all guys that are now established afl players. I want eade more than wallace. He will succeed more because he isnt overrated like wallace is. People think he is messiah. Im sure that eade has learned from his mistakes and the hunger is still there. And with him and miller in charge down there im sure things will start to take shape. Also he is willing to rebuild.
