Dont know ANY senior management people who get $600,000 a year and turn around mid-way through a contract and admit to problems, like i need to spend more time with players on the track, I need to be working closely with the senior group, well hello Terry, should of been from DAY 1 . Its not that he hasnt coached before.. ::) ::) ::) ::)

Hasn't Rodney Eade had some changes made to his role mid-contract?
Mark Thompson.
End of 2006 had to convince the Geelong board he was prepared to change to keep his job.

I would have thought realising you should maybe do things differently and acting on it is a good thing. No matter how long you've been doing it.
Good stuff, Plough.  :)

Good points FF & wayne.

I'm sure there are a few more that can be added to the list not just at AFL level but in other sports who have done it in the past and I reckon there maybe some who will do it in the future

best thing that could happen next year is a spoon finish with 4 wins and the priority pick. Picks 1 and 2 thanks and then a 3rd inside 20.

agreed and then wallace can hand us those 2 picks and take a walk.
i dont like him. his attitude everything about him i dont like.
now can i just say one thing. if he was so interested in helping us get off the ground why is he only know starting to realise he needs to play youth week in week out. it was a different story when we finished 9th wasnt it. ill tell u what happened. we finished 9th and last year wallace thought we would have a good crack at top 8 hence signing kingsley. well guess what we finished last and then the whole list he adopted argument came through thick and fast. funny i never heard about it any other year. if he was half a descent couch he wouldve said this from the beginning.
i might be wrong but i think he is the first coach i have ever heard mention a previous coach and how bad the list was under them.


he better change because his coaching methods have been pathetic
he still hasnt instilled in these players how to tackle, look after your players and be fierce at the ball.
i wonder if a mick malthouse would accept some of the crap that our players put out every week.
am i peed off. ur damm right i am because i have accepted this crap for 25 years when i became a tiger man and to be honest nothing has changed in my time here, not one single thing. will i still be a tiger man. damm right till i die
we need a tough coach who accepts nothing but feirce competitiveness.
i hate the pies but when i watch them, inside of me admires them the way they go about their business. we need to be like them.
when we play interstate i feel like slapping 5000 bux on the opposition, thats how sure i am we wont win. we have no gutz, no-one looks out for each other.
draft picks yes it does help but in my opinion this is what needs to change at punt road. we r soft in everyones eyes

look mate i just love richmond like all u guys it annoys me big time how we cant get our poo together.
when it comes to wallace i wouldve had a lot more respect for him say if we finished on the bottom the first year or so then built up like that. but we finished 9th then we had this terrible year and then its all danny frawley's fault.

look i agree spud stuffed us around but wallace if he was worth what he gets paid, should've known this from the start not half way through his contract.

Firstly daniel I reckon history tells us at Richmond that all new coaches in their first year get improvement result wise. Players seem to have this seige mentality that "struth the coach has gone and I gonna be next so I better up the ante".

When he got the results he did in the first 2 years most thought he was a sensational coach. This year we get the spoon and suddenly he is a dud coach.

Personally I reckon it is the glass half full/half empty thing - depends which way you look at it.

I think he knew when he got there the mess the list was in because how many did he get rid of straight off the bat? 8 or 9 (read Moi's sign and it tells ya ;))? Then they turned over another 5 odd last year and another 6 this year. I reckon he has turned over the list and has been building from day 1. The fact that he hasn't played just kids is a good thing in the sense that some kids just aren't ready and should be given time to develop at the VFL.

It pains me to say it but look at the Hawks and the number of the kids on their list drafted over the last 2 years that haven't played yet and are being given time to develop and that's in part because they haven't needed to play them.

This year (2007) we had to play them which was great to see from my view but the pain was we lost games we should have won.  Got told an interesting stat the other night we lost 8 games in 2007  by 24 points or less...

You are not the only one daniel.
I lost a heap of faith in Wallace in '07.
A similar result this year and he can take a walk.

We are 1 bottom finish away from having a very decent core of players. If things go to plan (my plan) we will finish bottom next year and get the first 2 picks and a 3rd inside 20.  The situation isnt as bad as it seems especially if we can get early picks next year. Im looking at 6 new players in November 2008 and 3 new players in 2009 and again in 2010. Thats 12 new young players between now and 2010. We have 5 potential retirees and about 15 blokes who have plenty to prove. We need 1 star ruckman, 1 star inside mid and 1 star kp forward. If we can get 2 of those next year we will be in it up to eyeballs down the track.

With Naitanui, Rich, Hurley, Trengove, Hartlett and Yarran who all played in this year's U18 champs but are available in next year's draft, even a 12th or 13th placed finish should still see us pick up a top kid. I think the bombers might walk away with the spoon in 2008  ;).
