They must have nothing better to do in Greece Om21.
I think you would look a bit idiotish hanging outside a press conference chanting Tiger Army songs dont you think? :-[

I know its unorthodox but its damn good. Dont you remember after the Carlton Night game in 98/99 what was happening at the bottom of the Olympic Stand near the old club rooms.....that was awesome.

Nothing better than 5.000 fans at Athens airport saluting the players on the tarmac when they come back with a positive European result....

Winning a world event and announcing a new coach for a football club in the AFL are two entirely different things

Theres no point harping because its off-topic....but its not a world event. They do it whenever they feel something important happened to their club....hence the Wallace example.
But they do it for wins on the road as well,i.e. if Richmond go to West Coast and grind out a tough win......people would go and celebrate. That is my point.....

Ok I just think the idea of hanging outside a press conference singing is a bit weird, but hey each to his own,if it doesnt hurt anyone and everyone has a good time then fine! :thumbsup

Ancient history but anyway here's Dermie's (Hawthorn's) version of events of how we ended up with Wallace and they didn't....


Dermott Brereton who was on the Hawthorn FC board back then , revealed on Sen Crunch Time , that the eight Hawthorn FC board members were so impressed with Terry Wallaces presentation to them that the coaching job was his if they heard from Terry that he wanted to coach Hawthorn.

But as Dermott revealed when Terry was asked by them "Do you want to coach Hawthorn FC"

Wallace , who had already had 5 meetings with Richmond answered "I'll need 24 - 48 hours to think about it"

Dermott said that members of the board were surprised , thinking that Terry would have said , yes I would love to coach Hawthorn. If Terry had of said those words , they would have started the contractual negotiations for him to be the Hawthorn coach then and there.

Terry Wallace was in he Sen studio when this story was told on air and confirmed it.
