The reference was in regards to a poster who stated "Sure we'd accept the odd loss or two if we were bloody competitive in EVERY game of football". Well even Geelong aren't competitive in every game of football ToO.
Re. the walkovers I agree but I can take the loss if we continue to take steps forward over the next month. We will all be praising the progress if we win 2 or three AND guys like Morton, Collins, Connors, Hughes, JON etc are playing. I don't know what the future holds and whether all of these kids will make it but I have certainly seen some progress in the playing group over the 7 weeks prior to Sunday. I unlike other brightsiders however are not comfortable with Petts and Bowden back.
Hey even the Hawks put on insipid performances like we did last Sunday in 2006 and early 2007!
Terry the king of spin.
Suggest Terry apply for the vacant spin position in the Australian Cricket team.

Fair enough Westie I see your context now.
Hopefully that's all Sunday was, a (big)blip on the radar after some encouraging performances against other quality opponents recently.
We don't have to win them all against top 8 sides but we at least have to be competitive for me to see genuine improvement in this team despite some things which do appear to have improved overall.
One sided blowouts against quality opponents may have been excusable last year and even the year before that but at some point they have to stop.
To our credit the matches against the Bullies and the Hawks were encouraging in this area.
However Wallace would want the team to show a vastly better performance against Adelaide or the spotlight once again will be very much on him.
A victory would make supporters a bit happier but another convincing loss would be disastrous.
what do do want him to say....
lets face it we are not up to it and our team is sitting where we deserve to be, top of the bottom four.
we have played 6 of the top 8 sides (5 of them on the trot)
judge us after we have played everyone once, if we are 10,11 or 12th then we are about right were we should be with our list??

I actually think Tuesdays with Terry is one of the most successful things the RFC does for sponsorship. Nearly every week there is a little snippet from this on the news or sports tonight with AFG and *smile* SMITH clearly visible. Most other Clubs press conferences are only seen if there has something special has happened during the week.
In this day and age, Sponsorship is one of the most important aspects for a Club to survive and currently i think we are doing it pretty well.

Good point - especially given we are not on FTA television for seven weeks on a row.

Just goes to prove how highly we are thought of in the AFL world.
Even though we consistantly pull big crowds at both the ground and on TV, not even the TV networks think we are worth anything.
If we ever do get back to being a power those that snubbed us over the years should be dealt with in some way by the club so this sort of thing never happens again.
WE ARE NOT LIKE THE BULLDOGS, KANGAROOS, HAWTHORN, ST KILDA, MELBOURNE OR GEELONG!
They consistantly draw crap crowds and they should be the ones paying for Friday night games and network favouritism.
All coaches speak rubbish at their press conferences. They either tells us the obvious things we can see, make excuses (a Mick Malthouse favourite) or spin rubbish about how well so and so is training etc.
Terry earned a PHD from the Eddie McGuire school of spin. Best thing to do is just ignore the crap that comes out of coaches' mouths.

The Age reported that Terry's conference deflected from the insipid performance on Sunday and focused instead on head-high bumps. Terry repeated Demetriou's comment that the head is sacrosanct.
"We're always going to have some grey areas that are going to be debatable, but I'd rather have the debate than have somebody in a very nasty situation," Wallace said when asked if the rules made it tougher for players to apply a hip and shoulder.
"Besides, at Richmond we've recruited a lot of skinny flankers who are soft and will squib the contest if they think they'll get hurt," he said. "We need to protect these players. Indeed, our recruiting strategy over the past few years has depended on the rules being amended to ban all contact from the game."
Jordan McMahon's mother, Conchita McMahontinez, said she would ban her son from playing if "those redneck bullies keep chasing my speedy gonzalez. Él can' ayuda de t él si él no tiene ninguna bola."

Fixturing determines who is on TV, not the networks. The question then becomes, do the networks have any influence on the fixture? Given the biased rabble the fixture has become, who knows.
So long as Andy D. and Co. can rig the fixture to increase revenue (and thereby probably get some healthy bonus for themselves), I doubt any semblance of fairness with regards to television schedules, or even the integrity of the competition, has any bearing on it.
