I may be wrong, but looking back over recent events, I'd posit the theory that Plough always wanted to go to Richmond and never considered Hawthorn a genuine option.
For mine, Hawthorn gave him the leverage he needed for extra bucks and an extra year or two on the contract.
He worked the room well did Tezza, and good luck to him. There wouldn't be another club in the comp that would have offered a five-year contract, but the Tigers are at that point where a decisive statement was required and that's it. There's no better way to galvanise everyone than to go all out death or glory like this.
In another time and another place Terry Wallace was my favourite footballer...
I wish him well with his new gig.
