The List Manager - Terry Wallace analysis of MFC

I think Wallet would want more lightweight outside players that can run fast.

For all his years in football as a player and a coach there is no doubt he has rich knowledge of football. He made a poor fist of things at Richmond.

In all honesty, I thought that was a pretty good look at our list. He may have missed a little by not mentioning Dunn, who is once again quietly going about his business and doing his job, and he certainly failed to touch on the lack of real crumbing players, but overall it was pretty good.


He is pretty close to the mark here, we have so many players that are the great unknowns. If Morton, Blease, Tapscott, Bail, Watts, Gysberts, Howe, Petterd Jurrah, Garland, Jones, Trengove,and any of the other younger players I have forgotten to mention don't step up this year then we fall back in the pack. The senior players have taken us to where we are now. Grimes is a player, needs to get on the park, Frawley at the moment is the only genuine top liner with maybe Jamar.

As Terry asked where is our run and spread coming from, we get Viney next year but he doesn't give us that, he's another inside mid. It has to come from Blease, Morton, Grimes and Bail with some help from Petterd, Howe and probably Watts, then we really need to draft well with the compo picks.

The thing with Watts is that when he gets the ball it ends up in a teammates hands, he is an elite user and decision maker who just needs to get more ball.

In my eyes we can only take 2 or 3 of Moloney, Magna, Couch, Silvia and Jones into the same team otherwise we are unbalanced. Jones has earned his place with his pre season form, Magna gets in and under but at this stage his ball usage is sub par.

I'm happy to go against the grain and what's commonly popular. I enjoy listening to Wallace's views on footy.

Me too actually, but it's very fashionable to lay the blame on him for Richmond's poor recruiting.

Not sure how he had the time to appraise all those kids while coaching an AFL club.

 

Terry Wallace played in Premiership sides. He knows what it takes.

He is also a good coach. Richmond killed his career.

I agree with his analysist of what we could be.

    Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

  • NON-MFC: Round 09

    Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
