CibbuanoWallace to meet with March and Cameron
April 19th 2009 10:57
RICHMOND coach Terry Wallace will meet with president Gary March and general manager of football operations Craig Cameron on Monday following the Tigers' eight-point loss to Melbourne at the MCG on Sunday.
In a year in which Wallace needs to lead the club to the finals for the first time in his five-year reign, the Tigers have lost their first four games of the season.
When asked at his post-match media conference if he expected his position to come under scrutiny, a tired and drawn Wallace said : "That would be a slight understatement, wouldn't it."
"But it's for you (the media) to speculate on - not me."
Cameron refused to comment on the coach's future and said he was pretty confident Wallace would coach the side against North Melbourne.
"We are not going to speculate on Terry - it's not fair on him or his family and it’s not fair on the football club and we are just not going to do it," Cameron said.
Cameron also dismissed suggestions that Wallace had lost the support of the players.
"I think the second half of the game today showed that the players still play for him," he said.
"They came from six goals down just after half-time, and outscored the opposition in the second half."
"If they didn't have the confidence in him, the game could have completely dropped away."
"What we need to do is to try and get some confidence back and win some games of football."
