'''Terry Wallace''' (born 13 December 1958) is a former professional [[Australian rules football]] player and coach.

As a player, his career spanned three [[VFL/AFL]] clubs; most notably [[Hawthorn Football Club|Hawthorn]] where he played in three premierships. After one season with [[Richmond Football Club|Richmond]], he then played with [[Footscray Football Club]] where he earned two Best and Fairest awards. He also achieved one All-Australian selection when representing the VFA at the 1988 National Carnival.

As coach, he took the [[Western Bulldogs]] from 15th in 1996 to 3rd when he featured in the documentary ''[[Year of the Dogs]]'' a position in which the club held in 1997 and 1998 during which he was named coach of the All-Australian team.  Wallace's coaching style is considered to be innovative and he is credited with having started the modern practice of sides warming up on the field before a match.   However Wallace's coaching career at [[Richmond Football Club|Richmond]] between 2005 and 2009 was not so successful, and he stepped down from coaching in June 2009.

His son, [[Brent Wallace]], is currently a field umpire in the AFL.

==Playing career==
===Hawthorn===
Wallace was a centreman for [[Hawthorn Football Club]] from 1978 until 1986, where he played a total number of 174 games for the club and kicked a total of 96 goals. Recruited from VFA club [[Camberwell Football Club|Camberwell]], he was a member of Hawthorn's 1978 premiership side in what was his debut season.  Nicknamed 'Plough' for his knack of crashing through packs, Wallace was Hawthorn's best and fairest winner in 1981 and 1983. In 1983, Wallace was member of the Hawthorn premiership side. He played in one further premiership side at Hawthorn in 1986.  Often polling well in the Brownlow Medal counts, Wallace finished equal third in 1982 and equal sixth in 1983.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/more-news/terry-wallace-player-coach-commentator-nears-the-end-of-a-remarkable-42year-career-in-afl/news-story/73b5bac0ffb40341ba9f6aea039a6802|title=Terry Wallace reveals the most emotional moment of his 42 years involved in football|date=24 August 2020|access-date=22 February 2022}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://australianfootball.com/players/player/Terry%2BWallace/11191|title=TERRY WALLACE|access-date=15 April 2022}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.hawthornfc.com.au/news/464636/wallace-forever-indebted-to-hawthorn#:~:text=Fresh%20off%20his%20induction%20into,games%20for%20Richmond%20and%20Footscray.|title=Wallace: "Forever indebted to Hawthorn"|date=31 May 2018|access-date=17 April 2022}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.hawthornfc.com.au/news/462236/plough-an-afl-hall-of-famer|title='Plough' an AFL Hall of Famer|date=29 May 2018|access-date=17 April 2022}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.westernbulldogs.com.au/news/96456/wallace-enters-afl-hall-of-fame|title=Wallace enters AFL Hall of Fame|date=29 May 2018|access-date=17 April 2022}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.afl.com.au/news/114117/hall-of-fame-terry-wallace-the-plough-who-never-let-up|title=Hall of Fame: Terry Wallace, the plough who never let up|date=28 May 2018|access-date=17 April 2022}}</ref>

===Richmond===
After a contractual dispute with Hawthorn at the end of 1986, Wallace received a clearance to move to the [[Richmond Football Club]] but struggled in his only season with the club in 1987, where he played a total number of 11 games for the club and kicked a total of 7 goals. Wallace eventually ended the year prematurely with a back injury.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://australianfootball.com/players/player/Terry%2BWallace/11191|title=TERRY WALLACE|access-date=15 April 2022}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/more-news/terry-wallace-player-coach-commentator-nears-the-end-of-a-remarkable-42year-career-in-afl/news-story/73b5bac0ffb40341ba9f6aea039a6802|title=Terry Wallace reveals the most emotional moment of his 42 years involved in football|date=24 August 2020|access-date=22 February 2022}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.hawthornfc.com.au/news/464636/wallace-forever-indebted-to-hawthorn#:~:text=Fresh%20off%20his%20induction%20into,games%20for%20Richmond%20and%20Footscray.|title=Wallace: "Forever indebted to Hawthorn"|date=31 May 2018|access-date=17 April 2022}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.hawthornfc.com.au/news/462236/plough-an-afl-hall-of-famer|title='Plough' an AFL Hall of Famer|date=29 May 2018|access-date=17 April 2022}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.westernbulldogs.com.au/news/96456/wallace-enters-afl-hall-of-fame|title=Wallace enters AFL Hall of Fame|date=29 May 2018|access-date=17 April 2022}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.afl.com.au/news/114117/hall-of-fame-terry-wallace-the-plough-who-never-let-up|title=Hall of Fame: Terry Wallace, the plough who never let up|date=28 May 2018|access-date=17 April 2022}}</ref>

===Footscray===
He finished his playing career with four seasons at [[Western Bulldogs|Footscray]] from 1988 until 1991 for a total of 69 games and kicked 20 goals, which yielded back to back [[Charles Sutton Medal]]s in 1988 and 1989.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/more-news/terry-wallace-player-coach-commentator-nears-the-end-of-a-remarkable-42year-career-in-afl/news-story/73b5bac0ffb40341ba9f6aea039a6802|title=Terry Wallace reveals the most emotional moment of his 42 years involved in football|date=24 August 2020|access-date=22 February 2022}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://australianfootball.com/players/player/Terry%2BWallace/11191|title=TERRY WALLACE|access-date=15 April 2022}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.hawthornfc.com.au/news/464636/wallace-forever-indebted-to-hawthorn#:~:text=Fresh%20off%20his%20induction%20into,games%20for%20Richmond%20and%20Footscray.|title=Wallace: "Forever indebted to Hawthorn"|date=31 May 2018|access-date=17 April 2022}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.hawthornfc.com.au/news/462236/plough-an-afl-hall-of-famer|title='Plough' an AFL Hall of Famer|date=29 May 2018|access-date=17 April 2022}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.westernbulldogs.com.au/news/96456/wallace-enters-afl-hall-of-fame|title=Wallace enters AFL Hall of Fame|date=29 May 2018|access-date=17 April 2022}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.afl.com.au/news/114117/hall-of-fame-terry-wallace-the-plough-who-never-let-up|title=Hall of Fame: Terry Wallace, the plough who never let up|date=28 May 2018|access-date=17 April 2022}}</ref>

==Coaching career==

===Western Bulldogs===
In the middle of the [[1996 AFL season]], he took over as the Western Bulldogs senior coach, following the sacking of incumbent senior coach [[Alan Joyce (footballer)|Alan Joyce]]. At the end of the [[1996 AFL season|1996 season]], they finished 15th.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.westernbulldogs.com.au/news/96456/wallace-enters-afl-hall-of-fame|title=Wallace enters AFL Hall of Fame|date=29 May 2018|access-date=17 April 2022}}</ref> In the [[1997 AFL season|1997 season]], Wallace quickly rebuilt the side, finishing third at the end of the season.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.westernbulldogs.com.au/news/96456/wallace-enters-afl-hall-of-fame|title=Wallace enters AFL Hall of Fame|date=29 May 2018|access-date=17 April 2022}}</ref>  In the first qualifying final they defeated [[Sydney Swans|Sydney]] but then lost in the preliminary final to [[Adelaide Crows|Adelaide]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.westernbulldogs.com.au/news/96456/wallace-enters-afl-hall-of-fame|title=Wallace enters AFL Hall of Fame|date=29 May 2018|access-date=17 April 2022}}</ref> In [[1998 AFL season|1998]], the Bulldogs under Wallace finished second at the end of the season.

In the [[1999 AFL season]], Wallace led the Bulldogs to fourth at the end of the season but in the qualifying finals they lost to [[West Coast Eagles|West Coast]] then in the semi-finals they lost to the [[Brisbane Lions]]. In the [[2000 AFL season]] the Bulldogs under Wallace finished seventh but in the elimination finals they were knocked out by the Brisbane Lions.  During this season the Bulldogs were the only team to defeat {{AFL Ess}} in a match that became known as the "[[Super-Flood]]" as Wallace employed "flooding" tactics against the Essendon forwards.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.westernbulldogs.com.au/news/96456/wallace-enters-afl-hall-of-fame|title=Wallace enters AFL Hall of Fame|date=29 May 2018|access-date=17 April 2022}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.afl.com.au/news/114117/hall-of-fame-terry-wallace-the-plough-who-never-let-up|title=Hall of Fame: Terry Wallace, the plough who never let up|date=28 May 2018|access-date=17 April 2022}}</ref> In the [[2001 AFL season]], the Bulldogs under Wallace struggled and finished tenth and then the Bulldogs under Wallace kept struggling in the [[2002 AFL season|2002 season]], sitting at thirteenth on the ladder with eight wins, one draw and twelve losses after Round 21, 2002.  Wallace resigned as Bulldogs senior coach at the end of the 2002 season with one match left to go.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/wallace-quits-the-bulldogs-20020827-gduj7t.html|title=Wallace quits the Bulldogs|date=27 August 2002|access-date=22 February 2022}}</ref> Assistant coach [[Peter Rohde]] then replaced Wallace in a caretaker senior coaching role to coach the last game for the 2002 season in Round 22, 2002 against [[Collingwood Football Club|Collingwood]], which the Bulldogs won and after this Rohde was eventually employed full-time senior coach.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.smh.com.au/sport/afl/wallace-off-to-swans-say-dogs-20020829-gdfl27.html|title=Wallace off to Swans, say Dogs|date=August 29, 2002|access-date=22 February 2022}}</ref>

Wallace was linked to the [[Sydney Swans]] job in mid-2002 when [[Rodney Eade]] was sacked following a narrow round 12 loss to [[Geelong Football Club|Geelong]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.smh.com.au/sport/afl/wallace-says-he-prefers-the-south-20020903-gdfllp.html|title=Wallace says he prefers the south|date=3 September 2002|access-date=22 February 2022}}</ref> It was rumoured that there was a verbal agreement that the Swans would appoint him as their senior coach for the 2003 season.<ref>Hinds, Richard (29 August 2002) [http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2002/08/28/1030508073420.html Roos v Wallace puts Swans in choice dilemma]</ref> But Wallace was not given the Swans job and it went to then-caretaker senior coach [[Paul Roos (Australian rules footballer)|Paul Roos]], despite Wallace resigning as senior coach of the [[Western Bulldogs|Bulldogs]] with one match remaining in the 2002 season.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.foxsports.com.au/afl/terry-wallace-admits-he-left-western-bulldogs-to-go-to-swans/news-story/bef3e23cddb40315c1c23c55b933a661|title=Terry Wallace admits he left Western Bulldogs to go to Swans|date=5 June 2009 |access-date=22 February 2022}}</ref>

=== Richmond ===

In August 2004, he was appointed the senior coach of [[Richmond Football Club|Richmond]] for five seasons from 2005, replacing [[Danny Frawley]].<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.abc.net.au/news/2004-08-10/wallace-to-coach-tigers/2023160|title=Wallace to coach Tigers|newspaper=ABC News |date=10 August 2004|access-date=19 December 2021}}</ref>

His first year at Richmond was unsuccessful, as the club under Wallace finished twelfth at the end of the [[2005 AFL season|2005 season]] despite spending most of the first half of the season in the top eight, mostly in the top four. In the [[2006 AFL season|2006 season]], Richmond under Wallace with three straight crushing defeats at the start of the season placed them at the bottom of the ladder, but they recovered to win five out of the next seven games, including a [[Richmond vs Adelaide (2006 AFL season)|famous tactical win]] against the [[Adelaide Crows]], who were on top of the [[Australian Football League|AFL]] ladder at the time, using extreme possession retention and tempo tactics; but they did not make the finals, just missing out and finishing ninth at the end of the 2006 season.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.afl.com.au/news/114117/hall-of-fame-terry-wallace-the-plough-who-never-let-up|title=Hall of Fame: Terry Wallace, the plough who never let up|date=28 May 2018|access-date=17 April 2022}}</ref>

The [[2007 AFL Season|2007 season]] proved to be Wallace's worst at any club.<ref>[http://www.footywire.com/afl/footy/cp-terry-wallace--12 Coaching Statistics]</ref> The Tigers lost the first five games of the season by less than 25 points and maintained leads in many of those games going into the final quarter. However, in Round 6, 2007, the [[Richmond Football Club|Tigers]] were soundly defeated by the eventual premiers, [[Geelong Football Club|Geelong]], at the [[Telstra Dome]] by a record margin of 157 points.  This subsequently led to the board and management formally apologizing to supporters at Wallace's "Tuesdays with Terry" press conference.<ref>Mike Sheahan with Scott Gullan (8 May 2007) [http://www.foxsports.com.au/story/0,8659,21690365-23211,00.html Tortured Tigers say sorry to fans]</ref> Richmond under Wallace won only three games to finish sixteenth in last position on the ladder for the [[List of VFL/AFL wooden spoons|wooden spoon]] position at the end of the 2007 season.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.afl.com.au/news/114117/hall-of-fame-terry-wallace-the-plough-who-never-let-up|title=Hall of Fame: Terry Wallace, the plough who never let up|date=28 May 2018|access-date=17 April 2022}}</ref> 

The [[2008 AFL season|2008 season]] was a vital year for Wallace in relation to his future at the club.<ref>Robinson, Mark (20 March 2008) [http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/sport/afl/story/0,26576,23405698-19771,00.html Terry Wallace feels the heat]</ref> [[Brett Deledio]] said that the club had to make the top eight at all costs in order to repay the faith shown by supporters.<ref>Reed, David (9 December 2007) [http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/sport/afl/story/0,,22892825-19742,00.html Tiger finals vow]</ref> The season was a big improvement with Richmond starting off with a win over Carlton in Round 1.  But the team did not make the finals with Richmond under Wallace finishing ninth at the end of the 2008 season with eleven wins, ten losses and one draw.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.afl.com.au/news/114117/hall-of-fame-terry-wallace-the-plough-who-never-let-up|title=Hall of Fame: Terry Wallace, the plough who never let up|date=28 May 2018|access-date=17 April 2022}}</ref>

Mounting speculation and reports of a rift with Richmond president Gary March were reported at the conclusion of the home and away season, mainly due to conflicting assessments of the sides performance between coach and president. These issues were denied by the club and coach.<ref>
Robinson, Mark (1 September 2008) [http://www.news.com.au/adelaidenow/story/0,22606,24279157-5016212,00.html Gary March denies reports of rift with Terry Wallace]</ref> The appointment of [[Kevin Sheedy (Australian footballer)|Kevin Sheedy]] to a marketing role at Richmond following Sheedy's departure as Essendon Football club senior coach also resulted in more pressure on Wallace to deliver the Tigers a much overdue finals appearance in 2009.<ref>Robinson, Mark (22 October 2008) [http://www.foxsports.com.au/story/0,,24534544-23211,00.html Sheedy keeps pressure on Wallace]</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.afl.com.au/news/84696/returning-sheedy-wants-to-build-tigers-not-coach-them|title=Returning Sheedy wants to build Tigers, not coach them|date=25 October 2008|access-date=23 February 2022}}</ref>

At the start of the [[2009 AFL season|2009 season]], Wallace was still under pressure after Richmond's 83-point loss against Carlton in Round 1 and further losses to Geelong, the Western Bulldogs and cellar-dwellers [[Melbourne Football Club|Melbourne]].  Despite controversial media reports describing Wallace as a 'dead man walking',<ref>Sheahan, Mike (14 April 2009) [http://www.foxsports.com.au/story/0,8659,25331609-23211,00.html Dead man walking: time running out for Richmond coach Terry Wallace]</ref> he told a packed media conference after the Round 4, 2009 loss to Melbourne that he would not be resigning and would coach out the 2009 season at Richmond, the final year of his five-year contract.<ref>Lane, Samantha (20 April 2009) [http://www.watoday.com.au/news/rfnews/i-wont-resign-says-wallace/2009/04/19/1240079539507.html I won't resign, says Wallace]</ref> A subsequent Richmond Football Club board meeting gave Wallace a reprieve until mid-season before deciding his fate.<ref>Robinson, Mark (21 April 2009) [http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/sport/afl/story/0,26576,25367887-19742,00.html Tiger board gives coach Terry Wallace mid-season deadline]</ref> However later in the 2009 season, Richmond under Wallace kept struggling and sat fifteenth (second-last) position on the ladder after Round 10, 2009 with two wins and eight losses.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.afl.com.au/news/114117/hall-of-fame-terry-wallace-the-plough-who-never-let-up|title=Hall of Fame: Terry Wallace, the plough who never let up|date=28 May 2018|access-date=17 April 2022}}</ref> Wallace then announced his resignation as senior coach of Richmond Football Club on 1 June 2009, but would coach one more game. Public scrutiny aimed towards Wallace is a main factor contributing to his resignation.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/friendly-fire-as-wallace-resigns-as-tiger-coach-20090602-ge7wmg.html|title=Friendly fire as Wallace resigns as Tiger coach|date=2 June 2009|access-date=26 March 2022}}</ref>

Wallace's last game as senior coach of the Richmond Tigers in Round 11, 2009, resulted in a loss against the Western Bulldogs, with the final score Richmond 14.5 (89) and Western Bulldogs 24.13 (157). Assistant coach [[Jade Rawlings]] then replaced Wallace and served as caretaker senior coach for the remainder of the 2009 season.<ref>[http://wwos.ninemsn.com.au/article.aspx?id=822605 Ninemsn.com.au: Tigers name Jade Rawlings new coach] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120218071310/http://wwos.ninemsn.com.au/article.aspx?id=822605 |date=18 February 2012 }}</ref>

==Media career==
During the period from 2003 until 2004, when Wallace was not [[Coach (sport)|coach]]ing, he became a prominent [[celebrity|media personality]] with roles on [[Fox Footy]] channel, and as a columnist in [[Melbourne]] newspaper the [[Herald Sun]], which he still maintains. After his coaching career ended, Wallace returned to his media career and Wallace has also worked for [[Fox Footy]], [[Nine Network|Channel 9]], [[Seven Network]], [[Sky News Australia]], [[3AW]] and for the past period for [[1116 SEN|SEN]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/more-news/terry-wallace-player-coach-commentator-nears-the-end-of-a-remarkable-42year-career-in-afl/news-story/73b5bac0ffb40341ba9f6aea039a6802|title=Terry Wallace reveals the most emotional moment of his 42 years involved in football|date=24 August 2020|access-date=22 February 2022}}</ref>
