TOPIC:

I think Richmond have been ticking over and at time only doing enough to stay on top. Once they get a sniff of the cup, it’ll take a bloody good team to knock them off.

That Victorian dingbat Walls actually coached a vfl Premiership would you believe AR....although that bought Carlton side could have coached itself.

BH: 100 per cent bang on -- the man should be castigatted for his inability to keep Carlton competitive agaaist Hawthorn in the late 80s as you know; Melbourne went passed him for christ's sake; even at Fitzroy, as you said, the other day, he had a good

Also 'Bease' I hold him responsible for starting, albeit in a small manner, the trend to 'over caoach' the game with that poly he introduced in regards kick outs from full-back. Do you remmember it? Fitzroy began 'flooding' one side of the ground.

So BH...since you're so critical of Scott Watters, Schofield and now Walls I take it you've coached a WAFL/VFL side to a flag and have an understanding of how easy it is. Are you Haydn Bunton or Brian Dawson in disguise?

Just to highlight my point further about Walls taking over a good side at Fitzroy in 1981, two years before, in 1979, the club made the finals for the first time since 1960 under Bill Stephan.

He's actually John Todd.

But I reckon the Eagles could be the only team that could cause the upset because of their height. You can't beat Richmond at their own game and the Eagles are a team that are playing a bit more of an old school side than the other finalists with two ruckman, two genuine key defenders, and a tall forward line especially if Kennedy is back.

I don't give them any hope at all of beating Richmond at the MCG , Richmond wont leave there all finals round and will be cherry ripe, WCE are going to get a pretty soft run I reckon into the GF first up Collingwood who they will towel up, the second game might be a bit harder.

I reckon its a WCE v Richmond GF regardless.

Tell me all about Watters & Walls illustrious coaching careers after leaving their respective bought sides in $ubiaco & Carlton BC?
$chofield will fall into the same category as the other 2 once he leaves the exorbitant comforts of $ubi and goes into the real football world of having to work to a salary cap that is strictly regulated!
