Sack Wallace Now March!!!

Make no mistake about it, Wallace is in strife.

He has to get the boys playing better football and not that pissy, handball *smile* they were pulling off tonight.

If he doesn't, it will be goodbye, and from this poster, it would be more than appreciated if he goes.

All its doing is deflecting the heat on Wallace.
Getting flogged as per usual and goaless after half time.
Same old hasbeens in the leadership group with the only change being a year older and a year dudier!!!!
I feel for all the deluded ferals there tonite who have wasted there time and money yet again!!!

Time for Wallace to go and to see some decent Tiger news on the back pages!!!!

It's a Grand Old Flag!! :hihi

Half time on the tv and if is any indication of our skill level then we are not going to play finals this year and probably not the next either. Sure it is only the pretend cup but surely the players basic skills should be showing signs of improvement and from what I have seen so far there is none.

This is one thing that has let the club down year after year. Why can this club not manage to improve players skills.
its been said time and again in the main we draft players who are deficient in this area. kicking skills cannot be improved at the age of 18 or i should say greatly improved bad habits are ingrained by then.
 
crap skills and a crap style of footy
basketball keepings off that breaks down under pressure
wallace played the flood and malthouse had to follow and showed wallace up - i agree *smile* wallace off ive had a gutfull
7 goal better side..... i think not
 
Oh dear, one NAB game and the doomsayers are already out there, wringing their hands, donning the sackcloth and smearing themselves in the ashes of one sad little pre-season game. Such drama queens.
 
Excellent post diggler but unfortunately these ferals just refuse to see the bigger picture.

Can someone answer the following question.

Why after finishing the season strongly last year, by throwing out all the cr@p and playing one on one contested footy, would Wallace try and re-invent the wheel??? Out tackling had improved, as did our pressure. Why, why, why???

Why try and copy another teams style and tactics, when you clearly know your players don't have the smarts or skills to execute it. Why not try and come up with YOUR own bloody tactics that suit YOUR own bloody players.

He is as clueless as they come and needs to be shown the door ASAP if we are to progress. Still no structure evident in the side especially when we are bringing the ball out of our backline. Seems the defender running out looks, and basically just bombs it and hopes Richo can make a 200 metre run and mark the ball!!

So where does the problem lie? Is it a case of the club continuing to believe that it can change/improve players with poor kicking skills, or is it a case, heaven forbid, that we do not identify these problems before we draft them?

Surely it can't be the latter, yet when you see the players train, they invariably look good (wth the odd exception) in this area. Their skills seem to melt under the pressure of a real game.
 
We are a much better side the then the Pies but the difference is the coach.

Malthouse has the Pies playing structured football. They play as a team and work hard as a team. When they gain possession they spread to position quickly giving plenty of options and then move the ball fluently in strait lines as football should be played. Their forwards lead hard and to the right spots because they are well drilled. When they don't have possession they tackle hard to regain possession. Their style is basic commonsense uncomplicated football.

Wallace what can I say it speaks for its self. No structure, no understanding, no movement up the ground, no team work, sideways, backwards, suicide handball, lazy players and no accountability.


Ask yourself this question before the season starts.

After 5 years as senior coach should he be sacked?

My answer is yes because there is no way we will play finals on current and previous form. He has enough talent now so there will be no excuses if we are zero wins after round 4.
 
Good morning passengers. The next train to arrive is the 10.01 "sack the coach" express. This train runs express from Etihad Stadium to Panic. All passengers wishing to arrive at Panic Station, please board this train.
 
Crackertiger said it perfectly. Wallace is on thin ice, the gameplan is garbage.
And Mexican Radio, when would you start panicking, when Carlton, Geelong and the Dogs beat us, bit earlier, bit later? Its not a matter of panicking in the preseason comp its the fact that the same old shitty gameplan is still in effect and getting us nowhere after 5 miserable years. I gave up panicking under frawley...............................

Can you answer the following question. Why do you only come on here after a loss to lambast the team and Wallace?

Ridiculous. If we beat carlton in rd 1 you'll change your mind again.
 
Hahahahaha....one loss in a preseason nothing match and threads like these and the gutted one pop up......gee look forward to the ones around the mid season mark if these are anything to go by. After that there will be alot of sole searching by the posters who think we are going to finish top six that is for sure.
 
Convert, I won't panic or stress out about a NAB cup loss. I wasn't terribly impressed with the standard of the game, I agree with that much. What I hope for is to see the club build a future, and an improved reputation. Sacking a coach after a pre-season round 2 loss would not help, to say the very least.
and also, nice avatar !
