Wasn't that long ago Joe Russo challenged for a position on the board,at the time what he said made sense.


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. I think we as members deserve a premiership given the loyalty we have shown.

“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.”

Russo was at pains to highlight his challenge, which will be outlined online, would not become personal and that he believed the club was doing plenty right.

“I think the board has done well in many areas and that we have an excellent coach. But I also feel that to go to the next we require new energy.

“That starts at the top and I think a change at board level will help that process. I was aged nine when we won our last Premiership and that is just way too long.”

Dont forget his comments about Hardwick being a good coach/doing a good job
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.
 
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

Was the only thing that was off that he said and considering the timing and the process involved probably needed to say it as to not rock the boat to much.
Everything else though is spot on and you just get the feeling he wasn't interested in being another YES man.

Those that are after change can support Leon.

The unrest at Richmond is set to escalate with a long-time member launching a website to gain support for change at the very top.

The board as it exists, has sucked the life out of all things football and markets the club as nothing more than a brand in co-existence with their affiliated, political corporations, such as White Ribbon in this instance, all the while adhering to the adage, Stability in mediocrity, as they take their annual slice.

Sorry to break it to you but club has NO affiliation with White Ribbon.

Only charity they have a relationship with the Alannah & Madiline Foundation.and please don't bag them for that.

Trying to gather support to initiate change to the board.  Could be gathering candidates to challenge.  Has indicated more will be revealed soon but needs people to register if they are not satisfied with the current board and want change.
