Read in this mornings paper that Terry asked for tomorrow nights meeting with the Board, rather than the other way around. He is clearly looking for a commitment for the rest of the season at least.
The board on the other hand have said that Terry will be informed of their plans after the mid year review, which I guess is expected after rd 11.
Hope Gary sticks to his guns and holds off taking any action on Terry's contract until then. If this is the case we can expect to see our most experienced players given every chance to prove themselves and demonstrate their loyalty, over the next 4 weeks.
That would be about the right time to make a move without having let the situation go on for too long, as I don't want to see Terry still in control and playing politics at the end of the season, with promises to veteran players as a ploy to shore up his own position, as he did in 08 with Johnson. Mid year would also give us plenty of time to seek Buckley's services.
Wallace should stay on then until mid year with a care taker appointed to attempt to use the remaining 11 games to sort out some of our younger players. I believe Mc crae is best equipped to do this and should be given the opportunity to do so.
From that point I wouldn't expect to see Bowden, Brown, Hughes, Johnson, King, Mcmahon or Simmonds, (before Rd 22). As for Petts I went to Adelaide and watched him closely. Lets face it, he has always had the ability but has lacked courage.
Maybe just maybe.
