Wallace was on KB's show this morning talking mainly about the coach's role with the media.
- His philosophy is that anything that opens the game up to the people is good provided you don't give away too much. He mentioned he had no issue with the media talking to a coach or willing player at breaks (including on the bench). Gave Browny as an example of someone comfortable talking in/with the media.
- He'll still be doing his media roles with the H-Sun and fox footy.
- On the captaincy - Wallace just popped out of a meeting on the issue but just reiterated things he's said before. That the 4 guys knew the criteria they had to meet and that he wanted to see how the perfromed in the heat of battle (who kept the team focused when we were in front; who stood up and got the guys going when we we're behind). He had privately got the players thoughts. They ranked Joel, Browny, Johnno and Richo from 1-4. If I heard this correctly some guys included who they didn't think should get it as well as who should.
- On Richo - that we demand alot from Matty both on and off field. I think he was suggesting others needed to share the "face" of the Club role.
- Not sure if he meant this happended yesterday or will be the case tomorrow but he deliberately got (will get) Raines and Roach to tag Deledio and Tambling so the latter two would learn to win the ball under heavy attention. Seemed to think Malthouse will do so in 10 days time.
