I get the feeling Plough may have the most heat. Also get the feeling that a 2008 failure will end up being the catalyst for a Richmond flag around 2011-2012. Wallace's legacy will be that he was the coach that was there when the list got turned over and got put right, it may be that the coach after Wallace is the one who gets the chocolates. For example, look at next years draft, its another superdraft- Natanui is gonna be a star ruck, Hartlett and Rich have big reputations as mids going forward, Trengrove who Id like at Richmond and Hurley will be decent key position players. Imagine getting the first 2 picks next year and another at 17. Richmond may add Rich and Hartlett to its mids, or 1 mid and say a Trengrove, or a Trengrove and Natanui. The next 12 months is vital, RFC probably cant afford a bad finish, but if we got 2 out of these we'd almost be a certainty to win a flag afew years later.

If Plough's legacy is just that - setting up the club and rebuilding/rebalancing the list for a successful future - then he will have done what he was asked to do when he first got his 5 year contract.
