ABC Grandstand.
Mark Maclure questions whether Wallace has lost the players, while Stan Alves believes it is the players who are shirking the responsibility.

I asked this same question in here afew days ago. Jacko reckons that the answer is YES, the Plough has lost the playing group and that Campbell has their ears.
Sounds like a interesting development but unlikely none the less. Campbell needs to improve his own coaching before he concerns himself with a senior position. He needs to start being harder on the list during training drills and ensure that mistakes made by the midfield group are corrected immediately. He also needs to work on our tackling, shepherding and blocking to create pressure, turnovers and space for players like Foley, Lids, Tuck, White and Jackson. Until he starts to make a positive difference to our midfield unit that is noticable during the season, it will not matter whether he is the most popular assistant coach in Australia, he will have no chance to become a senior coach this year, next year or in the future.
He needs to develop the players he is responsible for and going on our last preformance, the midfield unit was nothing to get excited about.
He and all the coaches need to start making the list more accountable during training and focus on our defensive game as much as our offensive game.
So in my eyes Campbell still has to do a lot more work to even be considered for a future coaching gig. TW is still miles a head of him with the list and tactically but all of them need to improve all we could have all new coaches next year.
