After an article like that, how could the club get rid of him
These are neutral points of view, ie they wouldn't be getting anything out of it by coming forward
Actually I read it with interest because Footscray supporters I know said that Wallace and Darcy didn't get along (
) so for mine for Darcy to actually say something positive has to mean something....
The other one who comment I was really interested in was Mark Graham, he has the most recent knowledge so that must say something....
I'm looking forward to Tuesday just to hear the end of all these %#&*@%^& rumours.
There are is a very small but posionous group of malcontents that claim to be Tiger supports who demand immediate success from any coach we hire and as a result continue to undermine any basis of future success we can have at Richmond. While other teams supporters fight for unity and rally together to create stability on and off the field, we turn on ourselves and repeatedly die in an sickening orgy of politics and civil hatred.
We all want success for the Tigers but we will only get it if we come together, set upon a plan and stick with it until its end.
But just as we seem to be on the right path...enter March and political instability!
I just hope it is just the media's and posionous supporters imaginations for our clubs future sake!

Isn't it and shouldn't it be about what is best for the Club ???
Not politics, not egos, but what is in the best interest fo the Richmond Football Club?
The percieved lack of unity, the lack of respect eminating out of the RFC in the 2 months isn't good for the RFC
Correct me if I am wrong but at the end of the 2004 season the RFC appointed a coach and gave him a 5 year contract so he could build a list so the Club could strive, achieve and maintain continued success? The irony isn't lost on me that Gary March and the rest of the current board (bar 2) made that decision
The definition of continual success was to play finals consistently rather than play a finals series one year and then miss out for the next 3-6 years?
By playing finals regularly it meant that we'd have decent chance to challenge for a flag?
That was the plan wasn't it?
The coach was given the 5 years because it was felt that is how long it would take to turn things around. There needed to be massive changes to the list I had a look at out list of 2008 and compared it the one from the end of 2004 and that there are not that many players left...
In 2008 I see we have made some steps forward .... we won 3.5 games in 2007 and wooden spoon, this year when most people (tiger fans included) thought a reasonable result would be 6-7 wins and we won 11.5....
Aren't things better?
Terry Wallace is about to enter the 5th year of his contract. The RFC made committment to him and his plan and they should see it through, they should honour it and support the footy department and let them do there bloody job....
IMHO opinion the worst thign the RFC can do at the moment is either sack the coach or force him into an untennable situation.
Can someone please explain to me why the views of a minoirty are deemed more important than everyone else
There are 30k+ members do we count? Does the majorities view matter at all?
Can someone tell me what exactly it is that we as a Club are doing here?
Gessh I am so effin angry
Here's a thought......
RFC for Geez sake GROW UP
