'It's the FIIINNNAAALLL COUNTDOWN!!'

The Terry Wallace Boogie Experience

Daniher, Connolly, Pagan, Sheedy - four coaches in four weeks (and fucken Carlton aggregating nearly 400 points in losses to boot - Pagan can well and truly get farked for all I care!!)....

.....and soon, maybe (or hopefully for the quietly frothing Tiger supporters) that other 'genius' coach of the modern era, Terry 'the King of Spin' Wallace. The self-proclaimed 'best centreman of the modern era' (in a team full of them, remember!) Terry has had a colourful though not entirely successful career as an AFL coach. First he took the Doggies from nowhere to sorta somewhere, then got sacked for asking for a pay rise, only to successfully re-market (spin?) himself over to the beleaguered Tigers. And what a start he had : Nathan Brown his golden-boy from the Doggies, all the best picks in the draft, and the 'unreliable genius' or whatever, of Richo. Sure the Tigers were up and down more than John Holmes on a crack/sex bender, and were unbeatable for the first half of 2005, until a freak injury to Brown snapped Wallace's plan in two. And then the spin hit the fan.....and went in every direction except up the ladder.

In a recent interview, Wallace admits he's feeling 'twitchy' - with the Tigers facing one of their worst seasons in history, he starts to talk about things in terms of 'History' and obscure references to Sean Penn movies – everything except how he's gonna pull the beleaguered team off the bottom, since his 5 year-and-1-man plan are three and a half years in.....

..so from today i-Footy starts 'The Wallace Final Countdown' -365 days and counting...
