Terry Wallace Interview

Just reading through the latest edition of Fighting Tiger (Issue 2, July 2009). I'm assuming this is the latest edition since TW's departure.

TW's does not get one mention throughout the whole edition - says it all..............

I never hated Danny myself, he was a man's man and had a good character. He failed at our job and it was dissapointing but at least he conducted himself with loyalty and dignity.

I'm the same.

Wallace on the other hand should be banned from Richmond for life!!
 
Frawley got a prelim final

Wallet got nothing.

I will always give more due to Freawley for one simple fact .... the bloke put heart and soul into it, he didnt carry on with BS he tried his best and really showed genuine emotion.

Wallet didnt give *smile* it was all about him and his persona and ego. He couldnt give a stuff bout the tigers now and is gonna spenfd the next few years bagging em.

Wallet is a salesman and a charletan.

Frawley wasnt up to it but the bloke did try his best and showed genuine desire and emotion in the role and you gotta give him that Frawley and Northey are the only recent Tigers coaches to show that kind of emotion in thre role.

Geez i bagged Spudley but geez i rate him as a stand up bloke , Wallet lost me years ago with his *smile*.

When TW talks about "leaving the club in a better position that when I got here" he talks about the rooms, facilities etc as though he single handedly built them! He's also talking about finances despite being tragically overpaid.

He's not talking about the thing that matters most: on-field success and building a list of quality players!
No he is talking about the fact that when he got there the club had a very poor coach but when he left we were in a much better position.
 
Isn't it funny how we all hated Frawley so much, but now love him in comparison to Wallet. Hahaha..

Wallace couldn't have put a further foot wrong during and after his tenure at Richmond. It's almost unbelievable how bad he was/is.
 
so the summary is Wallace was bad but Spud was genuinely bad

Don't agree at all. He was in st. kilda colours two weeks after we gave him the arse claiming he always was a st. kilda man, after claiming to be a richmond man for a few years. How quickly did his genuine emotion change, and don't worry I fell for it as well, as I did with that *smile* wallace. He and Beck were disastrous for our club, they had absolutely no idea, we got to that prelim final on luck and some suprise packets in our defence.
 
Frawley was a stand up bloke out of his depth. I don't think the RFC did that well in supporting him with a good recruiter and developing his weaknesses through mentoring etc. We needed a strong Director of Football at the helm like Balme at Geelong and Reid at Adelaide.

Wallace was in it for himself and we got sucked in. He negotiated a 5 year deal on top $ - $3.5M approx - for himself and them complained about a lack of resources in the footy department and recruiting.

Dear Terry,

You took all the budget!

PS History will judge you very harshly!
 
I saw wallett at SEN a week or so ago...I cant respect a 50 yr old wearing white shoes...
 
I never hated Frawley, he was a completely inept coach, despite somehow getting the side into a prelim, but he was a good bloke and that was part of his problem. Not sure why he didn't like Knights and he's come out with a few things in the media that show he wasn't quite as a good a bloke as he wanted people to think, but he's streets ahead of most coaches in that respect. They have to be nasty buggers to do what they're paid to do.
Wallace on the other hand out and out lied to the supporters, he took the money and did nothing. There is not one player on the list who was coached by Wallace that has shown anything other than natural improvement during his time at the club. That's an indictment on him and evidence that whatever he was doing it wasn't what he was being paid to do. Yes, him I hate.
