Re: Congrats Terry Wallace

Well done to TW a gutsy and hard fought win in game number 500 is well deserved.

Re: Congrats Terry Wallace

Same here. It seems that whenever someone leaves the club for greener pastures a high portion of our supporters take the opportunity to bag them for life.
The question is where do you draw the line?
Guys like Gary Dempsey an Tony McGuinness left us for improved opportunities. Same with Mick Malthouse. Libertore hasn't been overly graceful since he left us either.
I was sorry and in some cases shitty to see all of them go but I don't hold it against any of them especially when they achieve a milestone like Wallace has.

It seems to me that because we are a club that is starved for success for so long our supporters compensate by getting their thrills by sticking the boot into others that also fall short of the mark. It probably says more about us than it does about the players and coaches that departed us.

Improved opportunities in what regard? Dempsey left to play in a flag . mcguiness said he would have stayed if Adelaide didn't enter the competition.The facts are it's not about games coached it's about winning premierships and having successful sides. Wallace has sent Richmond backwards whatever spin anyone wants to put on it. I get irked the way Wallace never takes any responsibility for his list. remember his self indulgence back in 2005 [the list I created]Strangely quiet in years 2003 and 2004. This is my last comment on the matter,bitter probably but not with a short memory

Re: Congrats Terry Wallace

Never forgive him for the way he left the club, but will always remember what he did for me in 1998.

Re: Congrats Terry Wallace

Congratulations to Terry on a remarkable feat.

I like everyone else was not happy in the way he left the club, but it is time to move on.

I was a big fan of his as a player and was rapt we recruited him.

As a coach he was like all coaches, there are good times and bad times. We definitely had both with Terry.

We have a lot to be thankful to him for.

I remember last years Prelim. Final, I was getting coffee for friends at the National Sports Museum and on my way back - a voice came from the escalator going up - "Hello - good luck tonight - I hope the Dogs win". My reply - Thanks Terry - good luck to you too.

Good luck Terry.

Re: Congrats Terry Wallace

I have no issues with our fans congratulating him and all that but honestly speaking, I am glad that he has failed as coach of the Tigers.

Realistically, he is not alone as a failed Tigers coach. So many good coaches have taken on the Tigers mantle over the last 30 years and failed. Does it say something about the club rather than the person?

Personally what TW did to the doggies was pretty awful, but time heals everything and sometime soon its time to build a bridge and get over it. I´m not advocating welcoming him back into the fold, but there is no shame in recognising the contribution he made to the doggies as a player and as a coach.

Re: Congrats Terry Wallace

Wallace sold his soul to the devil, like Faustus to Mephistopheles. Wallace and Brown have lived out this myth. I think myths like this can be activated both from within the person and within the community, like pointing the bone. Wallace and Brown have had the antichrist's talons in them since they betrayed the community that nurtured them for greed and self promotion.
Before that they were great.., except perhaps Brown's cold characterless pale pale blue eyes betrayed his heartlessness.

HA!

"....the antichrists talons in them..."

"characterless pale blue eyes betrayed his heartlessness...".

This is possibly the most ridiculous post I have read yet.

It's football champ, get over it. People leave jobs that have poured resources into them all the time (training them and developing their skills etc.). Are these people also doing lucifers bidding?

I heard a rumour that Judd was sighted eating human hearts...RIGHT OUT OF THEIR CHESTS! You see he was given an opportunity at a club that gave him the captaincy and even put him in the position to get a special medallion around his neck. When times got a little rocky he jumped ship, traded his bible in for a pitchfork and has never looked back.

Oh and before you say it, I know that Judd left with a little more class but people make mistakes and Wallace has been repeatedly quoted as he doesn't want to go out like he did last time. Learning from your mistakes is a big part of life.

I am glad the Tigers got a win up for Terrys 500th. Well done on a mostly great career so far.

Re: Congrats Terry Wallace

The plus i see in the win is he is coaching next week, if he didnt maybe he would have got turfed and we all know what happens the first game a new coach takes over, they win!

Re: Congrats Terry Wallace

I have just heard that Richmond will announce that this week will be Wallace's final game as coach.

Guess we will find out shortly if it's true.
