Episode notes

Terry Wallace is a former AFL player & coach. He is a 3 x Premiership player with Hawthorn and a 4 x Best & Fairest Winner (2 x Hawthorn, 2 x Western Bulldogs). He famously coached the Western Bulldogs & Richmond Football Club and had a long stint in AFL media.

Terry doesn't do a lot of media nowadays so it was great to get him into the hot seat for an awesome reflection on his unreal contribution to the game...plus of course some of the all-time great stories!

We hear the brilliant tactician and the unbelievable story of how the underdog bulldogs became the only team to beat the high flying bombers of 2000. The secret training session at Werribee with the ground painted in NFL style grids, the match ups and the tactic no team was using...you'll hear it all.

You'll hear the motivator. The coach that saw the Dogs rise from a lowly position of '96 to prelim finalists of '97, the ways he motivated players and the belief he instilled on the group.

And of course you'll hear the forward thinker. Why the famous "Year of the Dog" documentary was before it's time, recruiting Ben Cousins to Richmond and much more.

And don't worry...we relive the famous "spew up" spray and hear the true story behind it, why he didn't coach Hawthorn and the Sydney deal that didn't happen!

As always, there are plenty of laughs and untold stories, but you will absolutely love Plough and his knowledge, humour and humility.

Sit back and enjoy the great, Terry Wallace!
