Post Match Speech

Wally should have said this to the players 2 or 3 years ago. Not only that he should have swung the axe and cleared the deck.

Too late Terry for the tough guy routine.

Too true Harry, too true.

Ian4, have a look at the Journo's board and The Age's description of what happened - have a feeling they are a lot more objective. The Hun have been spinning the story their way today. Wallace sprayed Morton all right, but he didn't say that Morton could've cost him Terry's job - he said according to the age that that action could cost people their jobs. This could be taken as Morton's job just as much as Wallace's.

Spot on, a bit of objectivity can make a big difference
 
a freind tells me the group were still really confident in going into round 10 at 3-7 or 4-6 and giving the finals a big shake.

after the loss against port obvioulsy that is out of the question.
and yes that was ridiculous by morton, as stated terry sent the message out at 2mins 30 to go (tigers by 9) to play keepings off.

poor effort by tigers in the end.

The main concern would be that if there has been a fundamental breaking of trust between coach and players and it goes unchecked, then the outcomes can be to the further detriment of the playing culture & player behaviours onfield.

If the reports are true, one might also presume that the meeting between various parties down at Port Melbourne was to place that check in process and to rein in any detrimental outcomes.
and now for the english version please.

Ha ha hah...Fox Sports are reporting that what got the players backs up after Mr Plough's post match speech was not just the blast he gave Morton, but that it included a "you cost me my career today" quip.

Any truth, or do the media just continue to make this sort of stuff up nowadays ?
If Terry thinks this he has total lost the plot.
He lost his job a long time ago with *smile* drafting, no structure to our game plans and jobs for the boys.
