Where can we see this?
-
She's stuffed n the head.
So is Gale
Lies.
-
No answers.
-
I just vomitted Peggy
It's not your club
It's the members club
Time to leave Peggy
-
Well done Pegs and Benny, handled like pros, ignore the screaming peasants and their great unwashed stench for they shall bring us undone!
-
Pretty sure Brendan Gale will resign if the new board get's up based on his reaction. Didn't seem happy at all.
-
Where can we see this?
Bojo has the transcript. :shh
-
stuff told me.
On field is where it counts you dishonest people Peg and Ben.
More like the flower pot men :banghead
Come in spinner, same old.
Look Ben and peg as complex as you think it is, it is really quite simple.
What has been delivered on field has been absolutely painful to watch, that's where poo needs to change.
I love this club so much and right at the moment you make me 'literally' feel stuffing sick!
-
Gale is deluded, still isn't sure there is anything wrong, touch of arrogance in demeanor and attitude.
The product of a football club is: Premierships won
I don't think this football club management actually gets that.
Wont be upset if they get toppled, i think they are miss guided.
-
ok all jokes aside, that is utter bs.
-
Benny has to go
Sorry
-
He said he's commited to getting this club right....but why would u believe anything he says after the last five years.
-
I know, been consecutive finals except for this year, whereas before we were competing for the spoon or ninth year in year out lets blame Gale for the past 35
-
how do you vote?
-

Unlike you, the majority of us don't see participating in finals and losing as a sign of marked Improvement.
It's hard to gauge your true opinion between the bouts of sarcasm and trolling.
-
I am not being sarcastic I genuinely say what I mean 50% of the time. I am not trolling I am cheering you up, I noticed you were a bit grumpy with some of your more vitriolic posts so I thought I would post some japes.
-
not sure he can be chered up. just cant get over the idea of sheilas being more skilled at footy than him.

Lol at auntie Peg. Is she really our president? God help us. Benny is like a little lap dog and only speaks when given permission. These challengers could have nailed their coffin shut if they said they'd sack dimwit, but stuffed up a massive opportunity. stuff this club.

:thumbsup spot on.

How's Benny, "IF change is needed"
He must of said it 3 times.
Get a clue Gale, it's not a sign of weakness to admit when things are wrong but it is if you are to b
dumb to admit it.
Agreed with other though, they lost me when they said they wanted Halfwit to stay. He has to be the first to go.... followed closely by Francis Jackson.
The rest are simply "yes" men from what I've heard. It's Halfwits way or it's the highway.
And FJ speaks for itself.

If they had said that Harry there would of been zero chance of a smooth transition,they did mention they wanted the game plan changed and a new position created-CEO of football .
You never know it may well be the the new CEO of footballs 1st action is to sack Hardwick and pay him out,was a lot of mentioning of influential people in their announcement.
-
I think it is inappropriate for the CEO to be getting involved in the politics of board elections, and it is inappropriate for the President to be trotting him out to her press conferences, he is an employee of the club, who's next, Cotch?

Benny is also a Board Member

Get your point and i agree
But Benny now sits on board, argument cwn be made he was there as a director

It ended up being about feelings rather than facts.
What is quantifiable and provable?
-
Lol. I actually was reasonably impressed by Peggy. Mind you my opinion and faith in her isn't overly high. It doesn't sit well with me that our President speaks with an American accent.
But she was reasonable until her last comment that she said Brendon Gale is part of the board also so this rebel ticket would be looking to spill him too. This was after 2 questions that discussed the fact the new board were keen to keep him and whether he would want to stay and work with them lol. Goodness me.
-
Peggy was done when she arrogantly claimed "my club"
News for you Peggy its our club.

How true
She has lost me
-
A few people didn't like that "My club" line
-
Not a wise move referring to the club as my club.

Tigers president Peggy O'Neal hits back at rivals
Michael Gleeson
The Age
6 Sept. 2016
Richmond President Peggy O'Neal has launched a strenuous and angry defence of the club's board, warning any spill brought on by a rival group would cause chaos at Punt Road.
"Instability and change equals chaos and I refuse to let that happen to my club," said O'Neal as she condemned the Focus on Football group's misguided board challenge.
The current Richmond Football Club board has been challenged by a collection of Tigers supporters calling itself Focus on Football.
"We believe there are more constructive ways of effecting lasting change than those outlined today by those seeking to take over this board."
O'Neal said angry members had the opportunity to stand for election any year if they wanted change but none of the Focus on Football Group had yet sought to stand for the board.
She criticised the discourteous method of challenging the board without first making approaches to talk with her or any of the board members.
Focus on Football group leader Dr Martin Hiscock said he had left a voice message for O'Neal, club chief executive Brendon Gale and AFL CEO Gillon McLachlan on Monday morning but had been unable to speak directly to any of them prior to the announcement.
O'Neal outlined the board's successes off the field with wiping out debt, enjoying a decade of annual profits, removing cricket from Punt Road oval, which had been resurfaced and re-sized, and rebuilding elite facilities at the ground, but said she too was disappointed and demanding answers for the poor on-field result this year.
She said the team had underperformed and the club was determined to make the hard decisions necessary to turn it around.
"Naturally what we all crave is on-field success and from the board down we are bitterly disappointed with what unfolded in 2016. Our performance did not match expectations. Our members and fans are angry with what we delivered on field, they have every right to be and we hear them," she said.
"Changes will be made as a result. This will require some hard decisions and neither myself nor the board nor CEO Brendon Gale will shy away from making those tough calls. Change is required and change will be made."
Gale admitted he had recently been approached about the vacant chief executive's position at the Melbourne Cricket Club but had ruled himself out of the job.
"That is not the job for me. My job is the Richmond football club, this is my passion and I am absolutely hell bent on delivering on our vision of a strong and bold premiership club," he said.
Gale said the club would act on the findings of an Ernst and Young review of the football department and "not rely on gut reaction or instinct".
He said he understood the anger by fans at this year's disappointing performance but felt the rival board ticket had been motivated by emotion.
The Focus on Football ticket has said they wanted Gale to remain as CEO but O'Neal pointed out Gale was also on the board and so with a call to spill the board she assumed that also meant Gale.

Peggy handled herself with professional dignity whereas the latest coup attempt looked like rabble, once again.
-
Peggy went the scare tactic as she always does the only thing she knows really. Can she make a press conference without using the world instability? Just once. She's got the nervous nellies on side thats for sure. And how about Brendan "it's complicated" Gale? It's a real worry our CEO doesn't know what the problems are. He gets paid good money for EY to do his job. Get rid of them all and put Earnst in charge. stuff me.
-
Richmond is my club.......but I can share with Peggy..........why should I go through all this pain by myself?
-
Yeah but even that Hiscock flog on OTC last night bought up Richmond's history of "always sacking coaches".....a "history" that hasn't applied to this century - or for 17 seasons if you like....basically the board's being challenged by it's even less competent but otherwise identical twin...only at Richmond....

Okay I'll say it. Dumb and Dumber.

My broomstick and I are peeing of back to Texas "

I thought Peggy spoke pretty well.
Any issue with her saying "my club" is just BS semantics.

Serious? Seems these people put this ticket together based on some tiger buzz words and footy cliches. Don't think these guys are up to speed in all seriousness. Just gonna have to wait for the Malvern group then to see what they have to offer. At least they'll know what not to say.

What has she sacrificed for 'her' club? What about the average member?
She has sacrificed nothing.
-
How about the guy who forked out a grand on his messily salary of 60k? Irrelevant aye
Has this bimbo or fail ever mentioned the members in more than a passing comment. I would have more respect for either of them if they once told us how much of what the members have done that has put us in this off field position.

Good post, they look rattled. Funny that, considering the clean run they've had to get this right.

Was thinking the same thing although she should definitely try and word it better next time. She just underestimated the chicken littles need to latch onto anything
