November 12, 2021 — 6.31pmBrendon Gale’s term as chief executive is set to be extended at Richmond with a new three-year deal.
Richmond president Peggy O’Neal told The Age on Friday that Gale would continue as the Tigers’ chief executive, a role he has held since August 2009.
“Brendon has indicated he’s going to continue, so I’m finishing up his contract now,” she said.
O’Neal says it’s been quite a journey at Richmond for Gale, who played for the club from 1990 to 2001 as a centre half-forward and ruckman.
“The first couple of years I remember when he was CEO, he just looked terrified the entire time because we were just in such bad shape and he had a lot of things to do,” she says.
“It’s a big step up from the AFL Players’ Association because he went from that to becoming CEO of a club that needs a lot of work but he is very committed and he’s been a great leader for us.”
