Terry Wallace and list management is an oxymoron after Richmond.

[deeflog 679]

Terry who?

[Rhino Richards 1,467]

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.

[RalphiusMaximus 6,098]

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.

[Arsene Wenger 72]

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.

[1858 285]

I agree with pretty much all he had to say.

[Sir Why You Little 37,191]

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.

[Redleg 41,626]

I agree with pretty much all he had to say.

So do I.

[Hells Gates 505]

Yep I agree. Just an honest appraisal of where we are actually at. Still hoping.
