    It's not a massive stretch to hear Terry blasting 'you've cost me my career' in a dressing room is it?

    Now Mitch might be guilty of selfish football, but Terry......

      I know we should never let the facts get in the way of a good argument but just indulge me. Ernie has already dealt with Adelaide , so that leaves Brissie and quite simply Acker wasn't wanted. He and the coach were conducting WW3 and they were glad to get rid of him.

      In those circumstances most clubs didn't want him especially as Aker had missed a lot of time with injuries, but we put our hand up and arranged a deal .

      Those are the facts I'll let you do the interpretation but I don't think the facts are consistent with your view of their benevolence.
      Your facts remind me a lot of Rafa from Liverpool. He spoke about a lot of "facts" too, they seemed like he was just trying to make it sound like he was being hard done by.

      Name another team that has done what we did with Veale?

        It's just so typically Terry.

        Morton made a shocking decision and it cost Richmond the game and he probably deserved the mother of all sprays from the coach, but the wording tells you what's important to Terry.

        "You've cost me my career!"

        instead of:

        "You've cost us the match"

          I can't believe what I saw on TFS tonight.

          Didn't the players look happy as they filed out? What do you think of what Newman did?

              No TCD, Hutchy claimed it as fact that Newman walked into Terry's office about 24 hours before the "normal meeting" and demanded that the tanned one step down.

              If true, I agree with everything Gary Lyon said. He is young and naive for doing it but he has to step down now.

                Sorry my bad, thought he was talking about Sam, not Chris.

                  This stuff could only happen at Richmond.

                  Fancy Jake King demanding he resign.

                      I loved Joel Bowden's response to Hutchinson's questions with repeated answers of 'we are 1 and 7'.

                        With Terry having coached and played a total of 498 games, perhaps he did his sums and negotiated in his contract that he could not be sacked before round 10 so he could reach the 500 games tally!

                          That actually was great to watch. If only more of the Tigers players could be so resolute.

                            How's Chris Newman as captain! Can't say he is resolute.
