Here's the Q&A from the live chat:
Comment From Grant, Brunswick East
Hi Peggy, so very proud to have you as our president, love your enthusiasm for the game and the club. I have been concerned, however, at your low profile, or non-existent profile in the past three or four 'difficult' weeks. Why has this been the case?
12:04
Hi Grant, thanks for your question. I have spoken at several events that haven't been picked up in the media, but as a matter of club policy the coach and the CEO speak on matters in relation to football performance, and they've been readily available.
12:04
Comment From Dave
Hi Peggy, when will the Jack Dyer grandstand be ready? Can’t wait to sit in it to watch VFL team!!
12:05
Hi Dave. We are very hopeful of having it ready for our May 31 match at the ME Bank Centre against Essendon. It has been a significant undertaking to get it refurbished and I like you look forward to it being completed.
12:05
Comment From Guest
Easy one first, our membership. Target was 75k which we aren't going to achieve, how's this going to impact on bottomline
12:06
While 75k was an ambitious target, we haven't given up on hitting that goal. I encourage all fans to get on board and those who haven't renewed to do so as soon as they can.
12:07
Comment From Jessica, St kilda
I hate this variable pricing stuff. Get rid of it Peggy!
12:10
The AFL has said it will look back after it has a full year of data before making a decision as to whether it has been of benefit to the game. It's important that football remain affordable. It needs to be remembered that while some games cost more for Richmond supporters, some will cost less.
12:10
Comment From David
Hi Peggy, can you let the members know why the Board decided to extend the Coaches contract for 2 years at the end of last year. It seemed premature given he still had a full year to go on his existing contract.
12:13
The board was, and is, absolutely of the view that Damien is the right man to lead our football program.
12:14
Comment From David
Hi Peggy can you reassure members that the Board will strictly control any further trading of draft picks for recycled players? It appears our approach has taken us backwards while the likes of the Collingwood continue to unearth talent with later picks even during the compromised drafts of 2011-2013
12:16
Our general philosophy is that the List Management team drafts the best available talent and trades where required to address specific needs. The board supports that philosophy.
12:20
Comment From Gillon
Are you glad Brendon didn’t get the AFL job?
12:21
Brendon has done an excellent job as CEO of Richmond and it was no surprise that the AFL wanted to speak with him. Brendon kept myself and the board informed at all times and we would never stand in the way of someone exploring career opportunities. He has an unwavering focus and commitment on building a strong, sustainable and successful Richmond Football Club.
12:22
Comment From Lisa
Hi Peggy, very proud that Richmond will always have the honour of having the first female AFL Club President. What are your thoughts on the AFL's abolishment of themed rounds like the Women's Round and it's push to have more females working in "traditional" male roles within footy? Do you think we will see women working in footy departments?
12:24
Thank you for your kind words Lisa. We are committed to having women work in all roles within the Richmond Football Club and we already have women who work in the Football department in a number of capacities. We want to see women's involvement at all levels become the norm in the football industry.
12:28
Comment From Grant, Brunswick East
Hi again, thanks for your answer to my previous question. I was also interested in what you've been working on at the club recently that has been particularly exciting and of interest to you?
12:31
A lot of what the board does is behind the scenes, but one thing which I know is of interest to our fans is the completion of the Jack Dyer Stand and the return of football to Punt Road Oval. I personally am excited about our new partnership with Cardinia Shire and the work we will be able to do in that region. Also, we are embarking on a three year longitudinal study with the Australian Sports Commission and the AFL as our partners concerning the participation of women in elite sporting organisations.
12:37
Comment From Guest
What is the long term for the FTF? When it was launched all the talk was it would run 2 years. It now seems to be a long term revenue stream that personally I don't view as sustainable. Is the club concerned that eventually the "well" will run dry? WP From Port Melb
12:37
The FTF has been a highly successful program of which we are proud. I thank fans who have made such an important contribution to the financial success of our club. We recently surveyed fans and there was clear support to retain the FTF as a regular part of our fundraising efforts to help underpin our football program. We have always said if you can do one thing, and one thing only, become a member of this club. If you are in position to support our fundraising efforts beyond that, then it is greatly appreciated.
12:38
Comment From Guest
Hi Peggy, what's the hardest thing about being President of the Tigers, and what's the thing you most enjoy about the job?
12:41
Hi, the thing I enjoy most about being President is the honor of representing the Club and the opportunity to meet so many Richmond supporters. I've been overwhelmed by the great support I have received. The hardest thing is not to continually think about the Richmond Football Club and turning my mind to my day job!
12:47
Comment From HRTiger
If the club doesnt make the eight this season it would mean that the 3-0-75 has fallen way short of expectations, how would the board see this result and does the board accept us always falling short of expectations?
12:52
The board and management were aware that when 3-0-75 was set in 2010, they were ambitious goals. We should never apologise for that - it was time for this club to demand more of itself. The progress has been very positive as we have retired $5m in debt, grown membership by more than 20,000 and played finals last year. The job is not yet done and we will continue to challenge ourselves throughout the Club.
12:54
Comment From David
Hi Peggy, as one of the original co-tenants of the MCG it disappoints me that with our large supporter base and contribution to the MCG nover a signficant length of time now we do not enjoy an equivalent deal to some of the newer MCG clubs. Are we working towards a better deal with the MCG?
12:55
We have a long-term tenancy arrangement with the MCC but when that arrangement allows, we always look for opportunities to improve the return to the club and most importantly our fans.

I think Peggy needs to have a different approach in answering questions of supporters compared to journalists.
The answers are fairly naff and almost a little insulting.
Be more informative Peg or don't bother!
-
you asked a very fair question during the chat hrt. didnt think you had it in you to ask the hard questions lol :clapping
-

I agree
I asked 2 questions ;D
the answer to the first one was a nothing answer because it didn't actual address the entire question only one part of it
And the 2nd one, well it just sounded like spin and again seemed to avoid answering the question
Oh well
-
Give her a break will you all
Can't do the ironing and be on the internet at the same time .lol ;)
-
Waste of time. I could have written those responses. Gave no inside info, just pure deflection.
-
Give her a break will you all
Can't do the ironing and be on the internet at the same time .lol ;)
Not even close to be funny jack
-

You know I am joking
-
Why do women want to be involved in traditionally all male sporting clubs. ?
Same reason a man wants to be involved with Netball?
-
Straight bat Penny.
Bit of a waste of time really.
-
Would have been interesting to sit in on the job interview.
-
The FTF question and the last one I was curious about but sadly the questions wered dodged.
I shouldnt have bothered to read this and it just further lowers my faith.
-
Give her a break will you all

This guy just keeps getting classier.

wow was that a non event
-

Yeah I know you were but that still doesn't make it funny.
-
Played those Q on a break just quietly, well done peg :shh
-
Give her a break will you all
Can't do the ironing and be on the internet at the same time .lol ;)
Thats a pretty disapointing comment.
i think ive been pretty clear to everyone of late when it comes to cheap shots and language at others expense.
you either tone it down or be prepared to deal with the consequences.
-

Seriously it's all crap and spin, coulda guessed every single response. No wonder I never bother.
Rather they be honest and me not like it than spin standardised management knapp it's so false it makes me sick.....f off
-
The answer to HRT's question about the strategic plan is rubbish.
So because goals are ambitious it is ok to fail miserably at achieving them?
Pathetic, spineless crap that would only be tolerated in an inferior organisation.
No organisation ever sets a goal it doesn't think can be achieved.
The fact is they have failed by their own standards and unless that is confronted and dealt with they are doomed to repeat the cycle.
-
Set the bar high enough and even modest gains through incidental factors can be sold to the great unwashed
-
Give her a break will you all
Can't do the ironing and be on the internet at the same time .lol ;)
lol and to you wowsers there is nothing wrong with chauvinistic jokes. very appropriate in a lot of cases.
-
the one i would have liked to see a follow question to was when she said the board is confident hardwick is the man for the job. i would have asked straight away who advised the bord on this and are there independent judges assesing the decisions the board makes.
-
Most lawyers love to yap,no this one by the sounds of it
-
I think Peggy needs to have a different approach in answering questions of supporters compared to journalists.
Half those lurking would be journalists looking for a cheap headline.
I really don't know why they bother with these things.
-

What?
Companies don't have outside independent judges to assess board decision.
That responsibility falls to the shareholders or in the case of a footy club the members. They are the judges and can do something about it if the majority chooses.
The members elect the majority of the board and accordingly charge them with making decisions regarding how the company run. The board pus in place the management structure etc and makes those appointments
-
If you can't answer a question properly, wait until the AGM and face the music but be prepared because you wont get it sso easy.
Besides, why would journos bother? They must know these things are a useless source of information.
-
She deflected comments that weren't within her scope , CEO or coacH are there to answer that, handled with aplomb :clapping
-
Read this topic
I am going back to do my ironing now
-
Peggy,
Do you fear the impending challenge of Internet Baron, the Amazon of OER - Rampster and his challenge for the board as prez?
:lol
I prefer Jackstar or Monk to be President actually ;D
;D half the club would be sacked & replaced, dont vote me in ;D
-
Don't vote me in either
Too busy doing the ironing and cooking
-

You know I am joking
Yeah I know you were but that still doesn't make it funny.
l will give you the answer, The FTF will run for years & years to bleed the supporters & make the rich richer. its just another way of getting money out of the supporters like the name on the bricks & all the other rubbish they come up with
-
The FTF question was mine
And I was disappointed with the answer because it doesn't actually address the question
Oh well
Good question, poor answer.
Haven't been at all happy with the way the FTF has carried on seemingly forever....
-
If you don't want to donate, don't donate. ;)
I donated once. Probably wont donate again untill I'm out of debt.
I see no problem with the club leaving it open for people with cah to splash.
-
Forgotten about the bricks
They been relaid ?
-

Willy, although it's well documented that I am against the FTF appearing to have no end date after the CEO said at the launch it would run for 2years Max. Agree if people want to donate then it's up to them but...
I am now more concerned about the club's apparent reliance on the FTF as a major revenue raiser. What I want to know is what they have planned for when it stops being the money pit it's been for the me last 3 years.
If it raised them say 1-2million last season and they've budgeted the same this year which I doubt very much theyre going to get this year in light of the pathetic season we are having. So what happens to our bottom line. What contingency do they have in place, that was the purpose of that question, ditto my question about membership.
On both Peggy avoided answering the question and that is a concern
Forgotten about the bricks
They been relaid ?
No, supposedly once the Dyer stand is finished. Believe it when it happens
She deflected comments that weren't within her scope , CEO or coacH are there to answer that, handled with aplomb :clapping
You are kidding right? Actually I should know better than to ask ::)
I am supporter of Peggy's but the facts are she is as President the ultimate head of our Cub, the people you mention are answerable to her and she is ultimately answerable to us.
IMHO she could of; should of offered more insight if she expects the membership to take the Cub seriously rather than being "spin doctor Central"
-
Fair enough WP. I agree with that perspective. The FTF should only be used as a 'bonus' revenue stream.
I just don't think it needs to be shut down.
-
The club needs to wean itself off the FTF and explore other more secure forms of revenue raising.Since losing those pokies venues it appears we have done jack to replace that income
-

Richmond should be actively working with the council to develop Punt Rd Oval as a mini precinct for people to congregate for food and a drink before a game.
It's also a great venue for us to encourage other clubs to play curtain raiser reserves games.
Unique location but not leveraged.
-
If the season continues on the current path,membership will no doubt drop next year,and the current disillusion as is starting to show even here on this site starts to grow,people will become increasingly unwilling to reach into their pockets,then what will the club do to make up the revenue shortfall?.,,cut back the football department again?

some footy clubs have gone thru that process.
when was the last time members actually influenced any decision they make. clearly very important areas are not being revued or scrutinised the least of which is list management and recruiting. if asked im sure peggy would trot out the board is happy with the advise it gets but from whom does that advice come from.
who advises the board on all things footy, who is assesing if the advise is correct surely there are checks and balances and all areas are ultimately accountable.

Good point claw. Someone should have asked her that although it never would have been answered. :shh
-
The day members start influencing football decisions is the day you may as well shut the doors. Its not some hippie commune having a collective vote on whether they should use horse poo or bull crap to fertilise their dope crop.
As with any organisation that has a board structure, the day to day decisions are made by the board and those they appoint. These are the people entrusted by the members/shareholders to run the show, and they are then held to account by the members/shareholders.
The world is full of people that sit back and constantly criticise as if they can do better, but most don't have the bottle to put it on the line and put them selves into a position where their own views become something more than just pee and wind.

It should be a hippie commune and dont forget to have the lamb on the spit for food please ;D
-
way to miss the point. the point being made was members have no say and influence nothing.
surely there is revues by independent parties on everything we do.
so peggys advice is good recruiting is great list management superb and hardwick is the man for the job.it seems its a sin to ask who gave you this advice peggy.
the only timne i can think of where members forced the clubs hand was whem michael pahoff got the numbers and forced an egm. thank Geez he did so i say 5.5 million in debt and spiralling out of control and the board satisfied with the advice it got.
how quickly we forget eh.
-

What are talking about?
There was never ever an EGM because Mr Parhoff didn't submit his petition.
We had an election but there was no EGM. Don't put him up on a pedestal.
But don't let any facts get in the way of what actually happened
-
yep, it's amazing how quickly we forget things that never actually happened.
lmao.
now, if your gripe is the members not utilising their powers, whose fault it that?
Those that are full of pee and wind but no action?
annnd, i didnt miss the point at all. Members do not, nor should they, have any say in the day to day running of the club. They do have the power to hole those that appoint the people that do, just like every other similar organisation in the world.

fair enough he may not have forced a egm but he sure as hell shook em up and we did get an election with a new alternative ticket as an option.
it is the only instance that i can think of where supporters or a supporter has influenced the board. good on him i say.
unless your have power or money us ordinary people have little or no chance of either influencing the club or getting elected. yep we get lip service a token gesture of gratitude to ensure we by a membership.
the only real way i have of voicing my displeasure at the club is to stop buying memberships and making donations. which i have duly done.
there is no checks and balances on the workings of the board or the footy dept. one way of haveing them accountable is by having independent revues look at there performance and results every3 or 4 yrs or so.
i rememberr well the abuse pahoff copped from ordinary supporters when he showed the balls and voiced his displeasure about what was going on. i remember well the threats and the diabolical way the club treated him why anyone would want to put themselves thru that is beyond me.
most of you sat back lambasted him and were quite prepared to sit back do nothing and watch the club go down the financial gurgler. 5.5 mil in debt and hardly a squeak until pahoff forced people to pay attention .
yep, it's amazing how quickly we forget things that never actually happened.
lmao.
now, if your gripe is the members not utilising their powers, whose fault it that?

annnd, i didnt miss the point at all. Members do not, nor should they, have any say in the day to day running of the club. They do have the power to behindhole those that appoint the people that do, just like every other similar organisation in the world.
lol im yet to see you grasp the point of any discussion on these boards . you are either just plain disingenuous or plain old stupid im still working out which one. and yes you totally missed the point again.
why am i not surprised..
-
Members have influenced things at Richmond in the past. Not anymore I would hope but certain people did years ago.
WHat a disgrace this club was. And probably still is
;D
-
Dear me claw..why not just ignore Al rather than resort to labels like stupid..stick to what you do best the micro analysis of all things RFC
-
Dear me claw..why not just ignore Al rather than resort to labels like stupid..stick to what you do best the micro analysis of all things RFC
ive pretty much ignored al for months now and am happy to leave it that way. some times he does deserve an appropriate repy i think this is one of those instances.

Hmm, now lets review,

So is the point something different to what you said the point was? :huh
or is it you that is being plain disingenuous or plain old.....
-
Just met her outside the ground
What on earth is she doing as president of any footy club
Would Eddie put up with this ?
-
Is Malcolm Speed still on the board?
-
Personally don't see how the change of President is a catalyst for this disgrace.
The issue is our pre season regime, fitness, list management and game plan.
-
Jack did you seriously expect her to engage in a discussion on the future of the club with you outside the ground................surely not
-
Speaking of Presidents.
Clinton Casey was sitting in the Members in the Olympic.
Was grinning throughout the whole game. Didn't even have a RFC tie on.
the only thing he wasn't doing was jumping up and down during the last stanza.
Seemed very happy with proceedings.

Exactly

Well she did to my surprise
Port Adelaide got put back on track by a good president who had a plan and lifted the core values of the club
END OF STORY
Our values are weak and negotiable
-
The president should not make a decision by shooting from the hip.
She should immediately put in a task force to examine our entire football department including recruiting and players.
Once she has the information back she should proceed to do what is recommended.
That is how you do it properly.

Yeah, but it's not the way we do it here on OER. You've been around us long enough to know that YABB! ;D

-
You don't need a task force to see that our game plan is a basket case. I see it every week I go to the G and sit on level 2 just above the Punt Road End goals. The problem is very clear to me!
It's like the Wallace days!

In 1964 after a long hiatus and a poor period in our clubs history the club appointed Ray Dunn to be President. He was the greatest President in our clubs history, a tough hard nosed lawyer who took no prisoners and made things happen. Richmond needs to find a President like this. I think we should give Peggy a go but she needs to show some leadership here and some tough leadership. She needs to take control of the club by the scruf of the neck if she has too and make it known to all and sundry that capitulation and incompetence wont be tolerated. She needs to take a bigger role in overseeing the day to day administration of the club because things are not as rosy as they seem. 3-0-75 is a failed plan where the aims were not achieved by a long long way, spending massive money in salaries on Chaplin, Hampson, Grigg and co. is a failure and so is the recruiting philosophy behind it, the teams performance is dismal, the coach seems to be struggling and the members are red hot with disgust. Peggy needs to do a Dunn, she needs to take strict control of that rabble down at Punt Road and start clearing the joint of the no hopers and the do gooders who are parading around as AFL experts and who have wrecked our club. She needs to have a full reveiw of everyone in the club from senior executives down. Dunn would never have stood for mediocrity. When Dunn and Graham Richmond were recruiting the likes of Hart and Bartlett and Green they were aggressive, tough ruthless negotiators, that today we see recruiting the likes of Hampson and Chaplin and Grigg and the rest as a success is a blight on us all. We want Ruthless Winners at Richmond not paid individuals who are just happy to collect there weekly pay cheque and who dont give a stuff about the club. It doesnt matter if there was free agency then and a draft now. We need people who can get the best results. Not people who are happy to be 16th on the ladder.

Ramps she should be given the go toward the exit door. Its a farce that our club allowed a woman to be president.
Almost all our side are playing like our favourite american, dull boring unspiring football.
Send her on her way and bring Speed in, before he leaves too.

For me this has nothing to do with her being a woman or a man. I have met plenty of women in this life who have been ruthless managers and good managers to boot because they knew how to get results. We should give Peggy a chance to show what she can do, but she must do something and soon. If I start seeing Brendon Gale coming out and spinning and she doesnt front up during this period, if she doesnt announce a full review of the entire football club then I will know in my heart that we need someone else but until then we must give her a chance. Hopefully she comes through.
