They are supposedly going to ask him about bringing young players into the team


- Holland issue hasn't upset preparation. Need to keep off field things seperate.
- Discussion about how much the game has changed since Wallace started playing. Speed of game, rotations, talk about Wallace's 24 players per game idea
- Have to be prepared to play a more inside game against collingwood, like North.
- Was asked something about moving Lids to the middle, but I missed it due to some inane conversation. Buckley mentioned with Foley getting the big tag, Lids looked like he was able to attack the ball and get free more aggressively. Didn't hear Wallace's response.
- Did Kane's abscence affect the team last week. Wallace said he was in best three players in week 1, they are only hoping that the week off hasn't upset Kane, as they want him to come back and play at the level he did in week 1.
- Asked whether all the media attention was affecting Jake King. Wallace said he approached the game much the same way, but it will have been a learning experience for him. Was probably affected more by the tempo of the game.
 
He always seems to have these big broad plans about the game (eg. how to deal with tanking, 2 emergencies, etc.). I wonder what would happen if he dedicated some of that thinking and sprouting time to getting the team up - a bit more focus on the getting the best out of our young guns please!

Who says he doesn't?

I think he's got the separation worked out nicely. Feeds the media all this grandiose big picture stuff, and I suspect his specific, individual player, group and team focus is kept in-house. Until we start winning, that's the way I like it.
 
Nope - a big waste of time - what a bunch of inept questions. Why the hell did they need to bring up the Kane Johnson thing again and who gives a crap about whether King was in over his head with the media stuff last week.

Just my own view of things. I do hope you're right. He can keep doing it if we get a bunch of wins on the board.

Waste of time.

What a boring program.

Couldn't agree more. Least we'll know it didn't affect Wallace's preparation before the game. Those questions could have been answered in his sleep
 
its gr8 that tezza is going 2 write a disscussion paper on the whole interchange thing, dont worry about helping the tiges get better, that'll work itself out.

Yeah because that paper will take up all his waking moments.
