Wallace

[Rodgerramjet]

Wallace has a guarantee of support from both factions, even though he hasn't spoken to Clinton Casey's challenger, Brendan Schwab.

Anyone think this would be a great opportunity for Schwab to put his hand up as a leader and had a meeting with Wallace before Monday to allay any fears of instability at the club.  To me, he should be in his ear this weekend and i will be very disappointed if he doesn't do everything in his power to do as such.  To me, it could clinch the deal if Wallace is worried about infighting to show that they will be behind him should the club appoint him.

Yes I gree with this aswell Froars, Shwab should show some leadership here and have a quite word to Wallace, but I suspect he would be quietly happy if we miss out on him.

We shouldn't have to chase this prick. If he doesn't think that our list and base from which to build is good enough then he might as well coach Hawthorn. Good luck to him.

Bring on Eade.

We probaly aren't chasing him "per se" john. It's more of "We want you, We have seen what you can offer, You have seen our list, you know our potential, We've alleviated the board fracas, make a decision". There's know chasing now, all cards are on the table. What worries me is the article in the Age if it is true, that Wallace is prepared to wait for the result of a EGM at the hawks, If that report is true then we can't allow that to happen, we have to drop him like hot bricks because his real choice is the Hawks and we need to move on and get O'Donnel or Eade and he can take his own chances with the Hawks board.

Yep, i think you're right too RRJ, i suspect there is an undermining of Wallace and a few others by the Schwab team and COHORTS lol. But he did put Bryan Wood in charge of overseeing the process with Miller and Co.  If Wood thinks, along with the coaching panel, that Wallace is the man, Schwab should accept it.  And then do his darndest to make sure he speaks with him this weekend.

I don't think we're going to get Eade or Wallace now - not very hopeful at all with all the crap that's going on at the moment.  And I think Wallace is the best man available at the moment, but his big head worries me.  He is lapping all this attention up.  I don't want no ego crazy bloke in charge of us - because i don't know how he'd handle the fans when crap happens.  He'd be the type to walk when his ego is deflated a bit.  But still, he's the best person i think, and we should be going after him.

Lmao Ur a classic Ox

I heard Caro on 3AW yesterday (Sunday) and a caller asked he who she thought would coach the Tigers.

She said Wallace and believed it would be announced this week, she also said (and this cracked me up) that she had just spoken to Greg Miller and although he didn't say anything he had ..... wait for it....................

a twinkle in his eye

hard hitting investigative journalism at its best

Maybe he was just happy to see her.  nudge nudge

Tigers on brink of nabbing Wallace
10 August 2004 Herald Sun

TERRY Wallace will make his final call between Richmond and Hawthorn within the next 48 hours.

Wallace has ditched thoughts of not coaching at all next season, with Richmond shortening as the favourite to win his services.

Both the Tigers and Hawks yesterday held final discussions with Wallace, who now needs no more evidence to make up his mind.

"I've just got to the stage where I've had enough of the public scrutiny myself and I need to make a decision in the shorter term rather than the longer term," Wallace said yesterday.

D-Day could come as early as tomorrow, when Wallace is likely to make back-to-back phone calls to inform the clubs of their fate.

"I've got enough information from both clubs – they have both been very diligent in what they've done," Wallace said.

With Don Scott still in the background at Glenferrie Oval fuelling political uncertainty, it seems certain Wallace's choice will be Tigerland.

Hawthorn chief executive Jason Dunstall last night said there was no movement on striking a compromise with Scott.

"There's obviously some unresolved issues with Terry as far as our club and it's a matter of where he stands on those, I guess," Dunstall said.

Asked if he was confident of snaring Wallace, Dunstall said: "You're never too confident on these things."

Wallace made it clear to the Hawks board that he could not work with Scott.

Scott did not return calls last night.

Wallace held discussions with Richmond football director Greg Miller yesterday morning.

"We just re-iterated a few things in different areas," Miller said. "We've done what we need to do. We've laid our cards on the table."

Miller dismissed speculation Wallace had a dinner date booked for midweek with several Richmond players.

"That's not true. Some players went to him last week of their own accord," he said.

Wallace said he had 15-minute informal talks with both clubs yesterday.

"They ring and we have a bit of a chat about a few things. There's always a couple of things you've asked questions about or want some sort of clarity on," he said.

Wallace spent the weekend doing his usual media work and reviewing all eight games.

Monday and Tuesday are the quietest days in his week, leaving him free to make his final decision.

Wallace last Friday said he would strongly consider staying out of coaching if neither team appealed as the perfect fit. But he said yesterday that he had decided over the weekend that he would resume coaching – it is now just a matter of where.

RODNEY Eade yesterday had his second interview to convince Adelaide he is the man to lead the club.

It is understood the former Sydney coach left his three-hour meeting with the Crows saying he wants an answer by the end of the week so he is not frozen out of other AFL coaching vacancies.

Adelaide is unlikely to meet Eade's request.

The Crows stuck to their no-comment line last night while Eade said he was hopeful of learning their reaction to his presentation by Friday.

"There are a few irons in the fire and we will have to wait and see what happens," said Eade, also in the running for coaching jobs at Richmond, Hawthorn and the Western Bulldogs.

Sorry to steal your thunder MT

Terry "Trump" Wallace lol. Richmond you're hired. Hawthorn you're fired 

You're not the only one Terry that's had enough. It'll be good to finally know either way what's happening in the next day or so so the Club can get on with other issues and move forward.

My 11am announcement in the TW sweepstakes isn't looking too crash hot

Yes it appears that the "leadership" group had dinner at Terry's place last week (Browny, Campbo & others  ). Well done guys - proactive leadership - more of it I say

Don't forget Gasper will be like a new recruit next year, Ox 
And Morrison you were so keen on in another post 
Just stirring kiddo - sure beats working at this miserable hour lol

[Jackstar]

Its fair to say that Wallace was always going to come to Tigerland. You might find after all this settles down that the Nathan Brown deal had something to do with it.
