Affectionately known as ‘Plough’, Terry Wallace was inducted into the Australian Football Hall of Fame in 2018. In a truly remarkable playing career, Terry played 254 VFL/AFL games for Hawthorn, Richmond and Footscray, also kicking 123 goals in the process. As a tenacious inside midfielder, Plough won two best and fairests at the Hawks, including in the 1983 premiership year, as well as winning two best and fairests with the Dogs in the late 80’s. After his playing days were over, Terry soon embarked on an impressive coaching career, firstly as the senior coach of the Western Bulldogs from 1996 to 2002, where Plough took the Doggies to consecutive preliminary finals in 1997 and 1998, to then coaching Richmond in 99 games from 2005 to 2009. Following the end of his coaching career, Plough then forged a niche in the media as ‘the list manager’, and only called time on his 43 year involvement in playing, coaching and media work after the 2020 season.
