I can't believe I'm answering this but anyway....
1. Wallace left all three clubs he was associated with for money. Did Richmond owe him cash? The Doggies certainly did. Made it hard for Alan Joyce as well.
5. Wallace wants out, reputation in footballing circles is nearly gone (media) too, asks Joseph to cause trouble and get him out of Richmond. Therefore landing at the Roo's.
12. Thomas berating players. Thomas knows how to get coaches to leave contracts doesn’t he? Blight / Pagan at the Roos. Wallace wants out. He will be a Roos coach if he can get out of his contract with us. Wallace is seeing reputation and media – afterlife slipping away as we speak. North on Gold Coast would mean AFL assistance. Like Bears takeover of Fitzroy. Matthews reaped the rewards. Terry is not 1/100th the coach Matthews is.
You say Wallace wants out (of a $1.2 million contract) yet he's only interested in money ???.
Of course Terry is no Matthews. Arguably no one is both as a player and coach.
2. Royal would have got the dogs job, (Rohde) however Wallace told 'senior players' at doggies that Royal called them soft so no Royal for Dogs.
With all due respect to Chocco he's missed out on about 3 senior coaching jobs he's been interviewed for.
3. Greg Miller had Fitzroy / North done but Daphne convened and stopped it. Still angry?
Fitzroy people would be angry; not North supporters. What club prefers a merger over standing alone?! Martin Pike said on the radio the other day that the massive loss in Fitzroy's final game in Melbourne was made the more worse because they "got flogged by a club as bad as Richmond".
4. Francis Jackson - part of deal that saw Pitura go to Richmond. Jackson to South / Sydney. Still angry?
Yep picking up Edwards at 26 and Connors at 58 were shocking choices and the 2006 drafting effort is just so inferior to the Club's recruiting efforts over the previous 25 years before he became our chief recruiter
.
6. Maybe the big 2 Wallace and Miller see Richmond's best chance to climb up is to merge. Becoming similar to the Brisbane Lions.
8. With Miller knowing North are nearly gone down here, is he making the tigers seem as they should be the ones moving.
The only people ever at Richmond who wanted us to move "lock, stock and barrel" up to Brisbane were so-called "Richmond people". Some Richmond board members to be precise in 1986.
7. If Miller was 'keen' on Renouf from Hawks he is a deadset tosser of a recruiter. Hopeless footballer.
Yep the Hawks have really screwed up their draft selections over recent years.
9. Signing Krakeour, Tambling e.t.c for 3 year deals will hurt us if Tambling continues to be soft.
Okay got one there but hardly a conspiracy. Krak will be gone at the end of the year. Blingers still has time on his side yet needs to work much harder like most of his teammates. Unlike Krak though he has the motor to play midfield, forward or behind the ball in the AFL.
10. Miller / Joseph may want Sheedy at Rich, Pagan at Melbourne so Miller and Pagan are reunited and still in the 'money' knowing Melbourne will never - now -merge.
Melbourne FC is propped up by AFL money. Take away the special CBF dollars they've received down the years and they would've been the next Fitzroy.
11. Solomon and Copeland deals = more money wasted.
Dumb ideas but we didn't waste money as both deals fell over.
