How are the clubs travelling?
 

Canterbury are one of the strongest and profitable clubs in the NRL so I'd say they are travelling very well

Didn't Coburg have a female President when they were almost extinct before Richmond merged with them?

Coburg had a female president during their alignment with Richmond not prior

Northern Bullants in the VFL also had a female president for a number of years
"Oh yes I am a dreamer, I still see us flying high!"

I'm happy for female's to be appointed to positions within the club if they are the best person for the job.
I believe in  true equality not feminisme  .
RFC  should be put their time and effort plus members money into winning games , we are not a political party where we need to drive social agenda such as afirmative action, we are a football club and all other social and political agendas should be secondary.

The club should stop pee-farting around then and get fairdinkum with their Emily's list agenda.

They could start by sacking FJ & appoint a good looking female recruiting officer. Why don't they ask Megan if she wants the job? Could she do any worse? Can you Imagine Dangerfield turning down an offer to join Richmond if she were doing the negotiations?
 
And let's not stop there...
Once Hardwick gets the arse they could appoint Jennifer Hawkins as senior coach. How awe inspired and gee'd up would the players be after one of Jenn's pre-match addresses?

If Peggy doesn't work out we could try Christina Pagniacci (aka Cameron Diaz) who did a supurb job with the Miami Sharks......

Before Peggy was appointed, I was unsure.
At the halfway point of last season, I was unconvinced.
At times, the approach Richmonds leadership is taking seems like an experiment - it is so foreignto how we have managed the club

Whether you like it or not, you'd have to concede it makes for a refreshing change.
Jury's still out but I am personally hopeful
“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.

Nothing wrong with the way Penny has gone about it,
She was appointed to break up the two factions! It is the political agenda of affirmative action at a football club that I think is not appropriate.
Happy for football politics but not social politics within our football club.
