Terry Wallace saying that...

[mjp]

...he played Bevo in the RUCK in the 1994 Reserves grand final on the McGinlay/Boyd podcast might have explained more about the past 9 years of our AFL experience in 30-seconds than countless articles and talking head shows ever could.

Apparently Bevo 'DOMINATED' around the ground, was like an extra midfielder and a key to the outcome.

So - there ya go Dunks. Bevo just looked at you and saw....HIMSELF.

Incredible.

Who were Bevo's opponents?

Bless the minds behind FNWB who've uploaded this tilt in its glorious entirety.





Fondly recall working part-time behind a bar in a corporate lounge on the day and finding every excuse imaginable to avoid actual work while the ressies made history.

Farken Ch 7 couldn't spell Daniel Hargreaves' name correctly

He's such an interesting character and he interviews so well.
Really enjoyed this interview.

It was fantastic. He's a different unit but is so comfortable in his skin...had to laugh when he spoke about being "comfortable in front of the camera's" during the YOTD season (96). Like, no sh!t!!

One of the best interviews in what is a very good group.
Plough is a great thinker and historian of his time with us.

I give him credit for the flood , it was a tactic used to beat a rampant essendon that finals bound year of them, I can't recall what year.

But loved seeing the attacking footy our team played during his era: Eagleton, Nathan Brown, and even Scotty West kicking bags in his early years.

Eagleton, Nathan Brown, and even Scotty West kicking bags in his early years.

Out of necessity (no disrespect to Loaf and Cooky, but we weren't blessed with long-term key forwards), he was very innovative with regard to small forward rotations inside F50 to isolate and exploit mis-matches in our favour. In addition to the 3 players mentioned, he also got Rohan Smith, Simon Garlick and of course Brad Johnson into the rotations and they all kicked big bags up forward.

Apart from Darren Jarman (), no other coaches did this consistently before Plough. Unfortunately Plough's penchant for unpredictability became predictable in 2001 and 2002.

He was an excellent, innovative coach in his prime.

I look at this era was with such great hope ( we had a great chance to win a Premireship except for Jarman magic , twice he killed us), but very sad disappointment at opportunity lost. WE played an exciting brand of footy and was fun to watch all these players kick bags of goals.

So many iconic players. Sutherland, Gregic, Scotty west, Libba, Croft, even Curly ( before the umpire touch), Grant , even Campbell! was simon atkins playing during this time ?

We just missed another big forward which would have stood us in good stead to run to the finals.

Got to know him a little and he is such a top bloke. A people’s person , no arrogance and will talk to anyone . Proof being me :-)

You know who was the puppet master of that interview right?

Some strange fella on here who runs the place.

GVG himself. Wonder how much money he made?

I'll have to have a listen.

Having seen him interviewed at the East West Legends night a few years back I was confident he was ideal for the podcast.
I might be bold and suggest two others.

Terry was a bit of a changing of the guard for us (or at least for me and my family), following the YOTD doco. Everything that I had grown up with in the 70s / 80s / 90s steeled me as a Bulldogs supporter, we were irrelevant even when we were good. Everyone knew that we would be put back in our place, we'd never win a flag. We were a laughing stock but after that doco and what came directly after really did lift us out of the quagmire. There was a comment in there at a board meeting which went along the lines of we're not going to accept mediocrity anymore and why not us or something to that extent and I believe we have held true to that since 96. Sure there were more dark days under Rohde to follow but there wasn't the decade long pain we'd witnessed previously.

Terry played such a big part raising this club off its knees in more ways than one. I can't think of another coach since Whitten who refused to accept that the Bulldogs role in the VFL / AFL was to be the perenially down-trodden easy beats of the competition. He reignited the heart of the club and my family and I will be forever be grateful to him for it, despite the way he departed.
