FRUSTRATION at a lack of ultimate success and a belief “freshness” is required has prompted a Richmond Football Club board challenge from property developer Joe Russo.

“I hate to cost the club money but in the end it will be a cheap expense that will instil the fresh ideas we require to win a premiership,” said Russo, whose company Caydon is developing the Nylex site in nearby Cremorne.

“And that’s why I nominated before the closing time of 6pm yesterday because I want a premiership

“There are a few people who have been on the Richmond board for a very long time and it’s also a very one-dimensional board given the number of accountancy and legal backgrounds.

“I think a healthy board requires a mix of professional backgrounds, including people like me who come from an entrepreneurial business angle.”

But I also feel that to go to the next we require new energy.

Obviously don't know what he's offering but he does have a point. Probably won't make much of a difference if any but hopefully some freshness (as long as he's not just a yes-man peanut) will at least challenge the thinking of some of the other plebs

[Hard Roar Tiger]

listen boys lets cut the poo. There is no premiership in sight with these clowns in charge. Benny is doing some nice things, but lets face it they are all blowing smoke up dimwits arse, so i see only way out of this with our hands on a cup and thats Dictorship.

Vote 1 Russo. .

So please enlighten me Angus, how exactly is Russo going to win us a flag?

On a board of 9 he will have one vote, so please tell me how he is gong to make sweeping changes at the club and of course win is a flag?

Actually would be more interested to know what you and others think the actual role of a director on footy club board is.

How are the current board going to do it?
Do you think that they have clearly articulated what or the how?
How pathetic is their vision - it doesn't even have specific targets.
And before you ask what is Russo going to do, maybe the issue is that he and others need more information on the detail to better understand the situation before speaking about what needs to be done.

[Jackstar is back!!!]

Is Joe Russo a small forward or a midfielder ? 😜😉

The question of who should be on the board raises an interesting question (well as far as I'm concerned it does).
Is our lack of premiership success a board issue or is it the playing groups issue.For the past few months most of our criticism on this site anyway has been directed at our playing group(i also include the football department ).I reckon this is pretty much on the money.The board through Benny G outlined our direction a few years back now.The board will in the end judge the football department who will in turn pass judgement on the playing group..what do you good folk think?

Great question

That's what I've asked a few times I'd be interested to know what people see the role of a director actually is.
