I wonder if TW will write a book when it's all over. it gives me no pleasure at all that things havent turned out, I wish he had of won 3 or 4 flags along the journey but alas, we've had a rough trot:rolleyes:

what I'd really like to learn is where does he believe it all went wrong...and dont ****en well ambush me with we kept kellaway and gaspar et al whilst they were all still contracted, to my eternal surprise froars answered that hogwash with clinical precision...as in be left with the likes of Billy Nichols to build a side around.:rolleyes:

I'd like TW to tell the story, where it all fell off the rails...how his Geelong style blueprint became little more than a montage of drafting blunders that still has us behind the pacesetters.

the irony of all this vitriol squared at the TW era , is that in 6-12 mths time when the football world is beating the door down to land one the hottest coaching jobs in AFL circles , they will then be crediting TW for the platform of emerging talent that was built and the shit he endured over the journey in developing it...:thumbsu:
 
'I walked into Punt Road in late 2004 to begin my tenure as Richmond Coach. I sat at my desk, opened a drawer to look for a notepad...only to discover it was full of possum shit. We had no money for paper or notepads, so I had to make do and began scribbling my 5 year plan on the wall, using an orange crayon one of Danny's daughters had left behind.'
 
"And then thought, I don't need paper to make a plan. I'll go over to Bigfooty and see what Bojangles thinks. His ideas were crap, so I did it my way".

The rest is history :D

I thought that this would be the easiest gig in the business and it turned out to be exactly that. I was paid in excess of $500k per year for doing a sh!t job, was unaccountable for the first 3.5 years of my tenure, and then went back to doing what I love best.....spinning crap in the media.....Thank you Clinton and Greg - I will always be grateful to you X0X0X0X0

Just as I was browsing through Bigfooty, Greg Miller walked in the door "Hi Terry, welcome to Punt Road. What are you up to for the rest of the day mate?"

I replied "Ooo look, we need to work out where were at, once we work out where were at, we can start looking forward"

Greg gave me a puzzled look. Of course, not being privy to the workings of my mind and the master strategy I was about to unfold, I don't blame the lug. As he walked out the door, I resumed cleaning out the possum poo.

Little did I know how much shit I would end up in down the track....
 
"We couldn't even afford blinds for the windows at Punt Rd, but as a consequence it's the reason for my absolute gem of a natural tan"..
 
"The first thing I did was ring my shower buddy, Brownie and ask him if he'd be interested in pissing off even more dogs supporters than i did and come the Tigers, somehow i felt like i hadn't tried hard enough, and that there may have been some small percentage of support out west that i hadn't completely eradicated."

Sit them down in front of a retired judge and pick the bones out of it .

LMAO after 38 days of hearing testimonies .. evidences ... accounts .... theories ... the judge just flipping his folder closed and saying ..

"in conclusion ... you`re just shithouse"

yeah funny that, after hearing from our rag tag bunch of misfits I suspect the judge would draw the same conclusions as they did into NSW police corruption...That is rasing more questions than answers...what has gone on in this club is reprehensible and TBH i'm a little suprised that our loyal band of supporters are not more vocal than they are.I'm livid at what has unfolded in last few months:eek:

I can picture the title now: "I'll do it tomorrow, I'm going to the solarium today the Terry Wallace story, foreword by Greg Miller"
 
I can see the intro now........"I new from day one how hard this was going to be, the basketball team I applied for as head coach turned out to be an AFL side......FAAAARRRRK IT!!!!"
 
"But I implemented my basketball gameplan anyway, kicking is highly overated, and accuracy pfft, sure we can alley-oop a few in"
