So you would prefer it if he went and hid in the president's office to escape the media?

Terry Wallace prefers to listen to the radio pre match rather than prepare for the game ahead?

Still doesnt answer my question.Unless you think 2hrs out of a week is going to effect how he coaches on gameday
What about years making it into the finals?

Didnt TanMan admit last year that the tigers coaches listen to the game's telecast in the box?

5 years is a long time at the one joint.
Weren't Richmond where Hawthorn were when TanMan rolled up?
What hasn't Hawthorn achieved in that time?

Clubs change, perhaps they have weighed up the advantages/disadvantages of the media work and found the balance has shifted and the media work isn't required this year whereas they found it to their advantage in previous years. An AFL coach's job isn't simply moving around magnets on a board.
Its funny the 2 biggest contributers to this thread are Hawthorn and Doggies supporters. Given the Doggies sacked him I dont understand the dislike and its been nearly 5 years already hawthorn supporters you really need to let it go.
Im sure Terry can walk and talk at the same time if he is still preparing for a game in the last hour I would be very dissapointed all the work should be done well before game day.

Damn, I thought that was a bad dream.
As for Terry, he listens to the pre-match so he knows exactly when he's being talked about.
Maybe he'll walk out on the Tigers when it all gets too hard towards the end of the season.
Watch out Roosy.
I would suggest that 1 out of 3 is a good strike rate when you are talking about the PSD/last pick of the draft.
I've never said that Terry is fantastic but because much of the arguments around footy are extreme I think he probably gets a harder time than he deserves. A little bit.
Malthouse is probably a bit overrated too. The drovers dog could have coached West Coast to those flags. Matthews on the other hand has had some luck with timing but still seems to have the magic touch. I'd be wanting to catch up and have a chat with him if I was any club

He must get his Match-Day tactics and advise from the Nuff Nuffs on Talkback Radio....Explains a lot actually

Spot on!!!! Terry said that Richmond had a much better list at the time, which they did but Terry has failed by either:1. Not developing the list properly to fullfil its true potential
or
2. Didn't draft correctly to enhance the list they had (Tambling/Franklin)
or
3. Both of the above!
Which do you think it was?
He never said that if Richmond are playing at 2pm, then he's listening to talkback at 1.30pm. If he's playing on a Friday night for instance, why shouldn't he take an hour or two out of his Saturday or Sunday to listen to some pre-match discussion. I enjoy doing that as well, and Wallace strikes me as being open-minded enough to consider any new point of discussion that may be made about his team. Also, I reckon most coaches listen to pre-game discussion. At least Wallace is willing to admit it.
I also thought his Tuesday press conferences were a good idea. Speak for an hour or so once a week, and he shouldn't need to be available for any other non matchday media commitment.
The one thing I would be a little put about if I was a Richmond member was him saying he was scaling back his commitments to focus all his energies on the Tigers. It straight away makes one wonder why he wasn't doing that before. But I'm pretty sure he didn't mean that the way it sounded.

You're a bit tough on Gourdis aren't you. Why have you brought a 19 year rookie in this conversation ?
Only Terry Wallace could have a back page article in the thrusday Herald Sun and a follow up feature Q&A in the Friday Herald Sun to announce he was doing less media this year.

Re: Too little, too late Terry
Yet that same bloke has averages 4 a game against your inept mob over the past few seasons.
Not to mention the 7 - 1 record Wallace has against you guys since he took over at Richmond.

There is always a balancing act for coaches between coaching the team and promoting the club brand(media work). Coaches are critisized from time to time for not having the mix right,ie too much focus on promotion(sheedy, wallace) or not enough focus on promotion(laidley).
Sometimes the club will push the coach to do media type work because
a)it promotes the brand and;
b)it is extra remuneration that the coach will get that the club doesn't have to pay itself(there is no salary cap on coaches).
Its practically impossible to know whether the coach has taken his eye off the ball coaching the team, without being at the club.
However you get the feeling that since Greg Miller was sacked, Terry knew that his power and support base was dwindling and the writing was on the wall unless he could pull a good ladder finish this year;hence his concentration on pure coaching.
Just as a personal opinion, as a fan I would love to see our coach concentrate on purely coaching the team. A bit of media here and there but nothing overboard. I was uncomfortable with Wallace on Talking football, as I was uncomfortable with Eade on weekly radio programs and television appearances. But thats just me. At the end of the day, a coach will be judged purely on his win/loss record. The rest of it is just conservation.

Re: Too little, too late Terry
And the 1 he has lost was as a result of a blatantly incorrect umpiring decision against richo who put the tigers in front with seconds to go. I'd count it as 8-0 really.

I've got a good mate from the cricket club who was an AFL player (former Hawk, actually) who used to play his Playstation on the morning/arvo before his 100+ matches.
Surely he could've been doing some last minute prep for the match? You know, limbering up or something.
John Kennedy Snr used to do his gardening, didn't he?
Fair dinkum mate, you're scratching the bottom of the barrel now in your attempts to disparage the bloke.
Yeah, I had to laugh at that too. A certain irony attached.
But then again, it is the Herald/Sun after all. A brow so low you could trip on it.
yes amusing.
Will El Tel have a press conference say round 4 and ses a powerpoint prsentation to show how much less media he is doing?
legend has it that Luke "Rhino" O'Sullivan enjoyed some unskinny bop pre match (to relieve tension)

Not to mention the time he spent on Mark Doran's SEN program today. Maybe he just needs to get one final media fix before the season proper.

Funny stuff coming from a supporter of a team who has performed even worse than us since 2001

Lol, there are alot more people that think terry is a hack then just hawk and doggie fans,
Most hawk fans who dislike him that I know, actually know the guy is an absolute wanka
Plus how are so many richmond fans so supportive of him, when he hasn't done or proved anything in his time there, his coaching record is pitiful and the amount of excuses he has made over 4YEARS now!
Trust me we aint bitter about anything, if I was a richmond supporter I would have no faith in him to carry this up and coming very good side to a premiership, i would be hoping he is gone and someone who actually knows how to coach and tactically know what he is doing takes over and can produce this potentially great side into a premiership side
