We'll be fine, Seeds to bear fruit: Wallace

You don't get it, its not about TW.

That's the point some don't get Darth. Even Plough knows it's not about him but certain doomsayers are obsessed with him and need to bring him up in every post  .

Good posts btw Darth  .

Rebuilding from scratch takes years.....

Pre 1999: Crawford

Schwab:

1999: McPharlin (10), Johnson (25), Clarke (33), Bateman (48), Hazell (55), Young (psd), Picioane (t), Bowyer (r)
2000: Ries (21), Greene (28), Williams (43), Lonie (58), Dent (psd), Rhen (t - gave up 12)
2001: Hodge (1), Ladson (16), Elstone (20), Brown (32), Mitchell (36), Cox (48), Campbell (r), Osborne (r)
2002: Brennan (8 ), Boyle (51), Veale (65), Everitt (t - gave up 6,22), Hunter (t - gave up 35), Sewell (r)
2003: Miller (25), Dawson (41), Ball (51), Scott (psd), Croad (t- gave up 10), Jacobs (t - gave up Veale), Beaumont(t - gave up Loats), Thurgood (r), Kane (r)

Clarkson:

2004: Roughead (2), Franklin (5), Lewis (7), Murphy (21), Little (26), Taylor (53), Nixon (t - gave up 10, 37, gained 7), Young (r)

Schwab despite plenty of misses and keeping plenty of deadwood too long still left behind him 13 best 22 (finals standard) players for Clarkson. 1 young ruck, 2 young KPPs to a list that already had many talls. Scored well in the 2001 super draft although all but one were smalls. Since then any player who has been on their list over 5 years and isn't part of their best 22 has gone. Dawson will probably be chopped at the end of this year if that rule is followed. Clarkson in his first draft made it 19 of their current best 22. This core 19 wouldn't hit their straps (finals) for another 2-3 years (2007). Subsequent drafting meant kids didn't need to be rushed into the side.

--------------------------------------------

Pre 1999: Richo, Bowden, Tivs

Spud:

1999: -
2000: Petts (8 ), Cogs (26), Hyde (41), Newman (53)
2001: Rodan (33)
2002: Schulz (12), Johnson (t), Moore (r)
2003: Jackson (53), Tuck (71), Raines (74), Foley (r), Brown (t)

Wallace:

2004: Lids (1), Tambling (4), Meyer (12), Patto (16), Polo (20), McGuane (36), Simmo (t), Thursty (r)

Spud left behind him ...ummm... how many best 22 (finals standard) players? Zero young rucks, 1 young KPP to a list that was light for talls. Completely stuffed up the 2001 super draft.
I see Wallace as have done/doing a Schwab. The next coach, provided he doesn't deviate from drafting youth, will reap the rewards arguably 2-3 years after Plough has gone.

What about geelong?

Based on what is being proposed by some here = the sack the coach mantra.

Thompson would not have lasted past his first contract.

One of the reasons Geelong won the flag last year is the FACT that; that Club did not deviate from the plan it put in place despite what the media and some of its own supporters wanted (Thompson sacked at the end of 2006) and gee I bet they are all now glad they didn't.

So that means we will win the Flag next year.

I'll take it.

We will never play finals football kicking the ball 10-15 metres and having 20 possesions inside D 50, that is Wallace fault and not the players, and thats the reason I dont think he can coach,

Another thread but stlll the same mantra.

Why didn't you just leave it at that?

No it doesn't

My point was if you have a plan sometimes it is worth seeing through

That's a lovely shirt TW is wearing on the front page of the Sports Section - can I get one at the Tiger's merchandise outlets   

[cub]

I quite liked it !

No use going over the same old again and again, will have to wait another 3 years to find out for sure whether I support people too much or not.

Sorry '65

Just a rear guard action on my part 

I was waiting for the standard responses that seem to inundate the forum
