Gus, there are ways to do things and there are ways to just *smile* it up. He did when it came to the way he handled Gas.
Its not about the coach getting told what to do, its him trying to get belief and trust. All the senior playing group would have been thinking they had question marks on their heads too! He didnt handle that well at all, he lost players there, I've been involved with footy teams, I've only seen a coach lose the group once and that was from little things that built up. The player isnt as big as the club, but respect is what its about and he wasnt shown any at all. No coach does that to their champions, not mid-year! He was there to show guys like McGuane and Thursfield the ropes, who do they have to lend them a hand now? Polak? The Ben Cousins of Freo last year? Fair enough, 3 games before the years end let the players know, next year you wont be given a go, either walk out or stay on for the ride, he told Gaspar this 3 games into the year. He never gave Andy Kellaway a send off he deserved.
Its an on going thing with Wallace, he isnt consistant with his words or his actions, you rebuild, you do that from day one. What, where the first 2 years a sample test? He wants youth and then plays Kingsley.
