And, that’s the pathway we’re going down at the moment.

put him on the injury list and bring him back thru the magoos.

His captaincy should have nothing to do with the fact his form is worthy of beong DROPPED.

Sugar has gone from being one of our best to one of our worst.
His clanger count is dreadful.
Must be close to getting a run at Coburg.

This is Terry spinning a positive story. Two years ago he was laughing at the Hawks doing the same thing.

I like Wallace. Think he is handling the current situation as well as anyone could. But I hope we don't see another backflip when our young guys are getting the odd touch up. Hope he sticks to this plan.

Why the f..k has it taken Terry an extra 2 yrs to realize this?  Clarkson knew and acted on this straight away, while Terry went half-ars..d by still trying a few quick fixes and compromised building our list fully for the future.  Still had his sights on the short-term and again, like Frawley, jepardised our long-term success.  NOW he is finally taking no short-cuts, getting rid of the dead wood and using draft picks and finding good young talent to build a team that can challenge for the ultimate prize.  TWO YEARS TOO LATE WALLACE.

I wouldn't be getting rid of Tuck, and I wouldn't say the Polack deal was bad either.

Polak has been really good for us, probably running 2nd in the BF behind Foley.

I don't think that because Johnson is captain he should be automatically exempt from being dropped, especially if his form is bad.  A captain is supposed to lead by example.  He is setting the wrong example.
