Wallace Performed a Houdini

[GoYouBlues]

Houdini was the greatest escape artist of the 20th century. I reckond Richmond's Terry Wallace now holds the title. With all the coaching sackings and resignations which started with Daniher, how did he manage to slip under the radar and escape a mauling from the media?

If Richmond are as poor in 2008 as they were this year, when do you reckon it will be before the media and the knives come out? About round 7 I reckon.

If after four weeks were 0-4 then he'd be already starting to feel a lot of heat, i'd imagine. needs a win in the first six weeks, if not two

what? what did he do? did he disappear up his own a***?!

 

[GoYouBlues]

Richmond cannot afford to pay out his contract.

They have signed him for too long and are stuck

That's what they all said about Pagan.

Wallace is a joke of a coach...Trading on the fact that he got the Bulldogs to two prelims ten years ago.

Kind of a good fit really. Richmond are a big name who have not done anything since the early 80s....

too right, mate... i mean, does anybody at Richmond (the club that is) seem to care that they have been the worst performers since the onset of the AFL competition? with the recruitment of McMahon, i still wonder...

 

[dales.girl38]

I say keep him there for good.

Seems the Richmond seed is spreading...Essendon = Next Richmond. Off to a good start in recruiting Knights

you are absolutely correct again, my friend... the Knights selection is laughable. any serious football club would recruit successful people in football (and in life) as their coach - like Matthews, for example. but nooooo, not essendon on this occasion....

THis from Wikipedia:


Knights was quickly recruited as assistant coach for the SANFL Port Adelaide Magpies and replaced Stephen Williams as head coach the following year. Having played a major role in restructuring the club's playing list, but without having reached the finals, he resigned at the end of 2004 by mutual consent to coach the Bendigo Bombers in the VFL, while also acting as a development coach with the Essendon Football Club in the AFL. On September 27, 2007, Melbourne radio station SEN 1116 reported that Knights would become Essendon's head coach for the 2008 season on a 3 year contract, replacing Kevin Sheedy. This was confirmed in a media release by the Essendon Football club the same afternoon.

This coach wasn't able to do anything with the mighty SANFL magpies. Can't see him getting Essendon out of the bottom 4.

At least Wallace doesn't sleep around with his players partners....
Geelong supporters should keep their opinions to themselves.

Brett Ratten 0-6

At least give knights a chance. Wallace has coached long enough for us to know he isn't up to it.

Well almost he managed to put the club back about 10 years

that's an interesting thought.... it'd be great to see him coach Richmond, but i wonder is he past it? dunno....

Sheedy's yesterday's man. He's been put out to pasture.

 

[Dugongs]

Sheedy said to his mum if he left the Bombers

he would be a coach at richmond

 

[richardnose]

houdini was an illusionist. he had the ability to make a group of people believe that they were seeing something, even though it wasn't really happening.

No, we don't.....

Prove it happened please?

Wallace sucks, that's a fact..we can prove it

 

[richardnose]

Sheedy said to his mum if he left the Bombers

he'd rather lie to his mum than go to richmond. can't blame him.

RICHMOND = 2007 WOODEN SPOON

 

[conVINCEd]

Wallace escapes media scrutiny because no expects Richmond to ever do well.

They are shit.
