Terry Wallace appears to have made up his mind and is about to be named as coach of Richmond.
Wallace arrived at Richmond's Punt Road headquarters early on Tuesday afternoon to reportedly meet the board and put the finishing touches to a four-year deal to replace Danny Frawley as coach from 2005.
Wallace has taken his time in recent weeks weighing up offers from Hawthorn and Richmond, having earlier ruled himself out of contention at Adelaide.
Wallace played 11 games for Richmond in 1987 in the middle of decorated stints with Hawthorn and the Western Bulldogs. He coached the Western Bulldogs from late 1996 until round 21 of 2002, leading that club to the 1997 and 1998 preliminary finals with a mix of flair, innovation and grunt.
