Something Terry always had the capacity to do was pull a seemingly-bizarre rabbit out of the hat and make it work.
It seems so long ago when he arrived at Punt Road that I find it hard to remember what he did differently to Spud (previous coach Danny Frawley). But one thing I reckon was a real strength of Plough’s was his ability to pull off against-the-odds wins, which was a characteristic of his at the Bulldogs as well.
He got a real kick out of out the challenge of a really tough game and coming up with a tactic for one given game that could get you an upset win. I guess the biggest one was when the Bulldogs beat Essendon in 2000, but we had one against Adelaide at Telstra Dome that really stands out for me. He was really good at coming up with a tactic which he made you believe could work for that one day.
I'd love to be playing this Friday night for Terry's last game. He's been here for five years and for him to be in the 500 club is incredible. Last week, when they showed the names of the others who were in it, it really hit home what an achievement it was. So it would have been nice to play the past two weeks.
It's ironic how football works out, that Terry’s last game will be against the club he coached and played with. The Dogs will want to spoil the party, and it's the Friday night game, so it'll be a great atmosphere at Docklands. So it's really disappointing for me to miss out.
