Wallace said the loss to the Swans was a setback after some recent form for the Tigers.

“I think people are quick to jump one way and jump quickly another way. That’s the nature of the business isn’t it? Within ourselves we think we’ve made some real ground over the past six weeks. We’ve taken six steps forward and one major step backwards,” he said.

“It will be this weekend and the next couple of weeks to see if we march forward or allow one game to impact what we’ve done over a five or six-week period.

“I think you deserve to be harshly judged every time you have a non-competitive performance. I think that is reasonable. People in general will accept a loss but they won’t accept uncompetitive performances.”

Wallace deems head-high as no-go

RICHMOND coach Terry Wallace says determining the severity of head-high contact can be difficult, but it is still important to protect players’ heads.

Three players were reported in round 10 for head-high incidents and Wallace agreed each case had to be judged on its merits.

“It’s a hard one for anyone to adjudicate. I still thought that Shaun Burgoyne’s (against Hawthorn in round eight) was the one for me that was probably more in the grey area than any other ones I’ve seen,” Wallace said.

The Tigers coach said he could understand some people’s frustrations with the rule, but that player safety was paramount.

"We're always going to have some grey areas that are going to be debatable, but I'd rather have the debate than have somebody in a very nasty situation,"

Wallace said strict tribunal and umpire interpretations of head-high contact would result in less head injuries.

“We don’t want massive injury in the game so they’ve got a responsibility to make sure that doesn’t happen,” he said.

“But we know that the head is sacrosanct and if you're going down that pathway you're going to find yourself out for a couple of weeks no matter what happens.

“Personally I think that's a reasonably good thing. I think some of the nasty things we saw over a two or three year period, if we can alleviate that out of the game I think that's the best way."

Tigers loss to Swans 'questionable'
The Age
June 3, 2008

Richmond deserved to have their progress questioned given recent AFL results after last Sunday's 82-point thrashing to Sydney, Tigers coach Terry Wallace admitted.

Wallace said he could understand Tigers fans pondering how far the side has come under his reign, as Richmond recorded results of 12th, ninth and 16th in his first three seasons and currently sit 12th with three wins.

And he conceded the Tigers deserved to be judged harshly on putting up a performance so unacceptable at the SCG, despite it coming after six credible displays, which included two wins, a draw and three honourable defeats.

Wallace said the next three games, against Adelaide at the MCG on Saturday, followed by Melbourne and Port Adelaide, would determine whether the Tigers could regain their encouraging form or allow one bad defeat to send them back into the mire.

"We believe we've made some real ground over six weeks and probably taken six steps forward and taken one major step backwards," he said.

"It will be this weekend and the next couple of weeks will see whether we continue to march forward or whether we allow one game to (have an) impact (on) what we've done in a five- or six-week period."

Wallace said Collingwood and the Crows themselves had proved recently that sides could bounce back quickly from bad defeats, and that others were prone to massive falls when they built themselves up for one game.

He cited Port Adelaide's capitulation to Geelong in last year's grand final as a prime example.

"I sense it was a little bit similar to what happens on a big occasion game, where you build yourself - and we were really keen to get up there and show things - and so quickly it went wrong it was just like deflating the tyres," he said.

"We've got to learn to manage and handle that and grind our way back into a game.

"You just can't say `It's not going to work', and fall apart.

"I thought that's what we did a little bit."
