I actually would have liked to see Benny Gale picked to present the cup. 240 games and 10 years as the CEO and now a Richmond legend. He deserves it.
The President could have stepped in and made it happen

Doubt he would have accepted the honour. We might have to wait until he retires as CEO of the AFL before we can get him to do it.
Agree - left for more $. Computer says No.
I would have voted for Benny............on the proviso we win of course
No issue with Ash.....a passionate and high profile fan that is a great person and role model
As a huge fan of Joel Bowden, I would have liked him to do it. Or another former player.
I don't know how I feel about this choice. Lined up against Richo and Maureen Hafey it does seem a bit out of place. 2020 has been a strange one though so it is probably emblematic of the year.

What people don’t realise about Geoff Raines is that he was completely instrumental in getting the $10m allocation from the federal government for the PRO redevelopment. He did substantial unheralded work for this. His loyalty is defenitely with Richmond.
Anthony Banik lives on the Sunshine Coast. If ever we wanted a clear reference point to prior generation pain, he would signify it. He was a tough player but those late 80s/early 90s were genuinely painful times. I remember him telling me the story of other blokes that got drafted when he did training while he was shaking cans on Punt Rd as part of Save Our Skins
I like the idea of ash doing it. She’s very passionate, and always has been. She’s a great ambassador for the club on a world stage. I believe if the Cats win, one of the Nankervi (Ian) will present it.
I can't believe anyone would whinge about this.
1. If she get to execute her duties, we have won back to back premierships.
2. Ash is cool. working class, indig. girl risen to be the best in the world.
3. loves tigers.
4. she's one hell of an upgrade on George Pell for No.1 ticket.
get behind her.
Its not the week for negativity.
go tigers

He is probably the one picking it now anyway Baloo and I am sure you are right about not accepting it but it's just who I would like to see do it given he is in the hub.
It may not be a popular view but if we were at the MCG I would have picked KB. Despite his falling out in the past he is a Richmond legend, games record holder and in my mind one of our 5 greatest players ever
Imagine her with a beer in one hand & the cup in the other handing it to Trent.
Agree. She's an inspiration, just as the tigers are. Its a great modern decision from a progressive club.
Agree that it smacks of a PR stunt. Having said that, Pol Pot could present the premiership cup and I'd cheer. Bit of a nothing role.
Should be a $10 members raffle. There's a million quid right there.

There are no stupid ideas, just stupid people
Great character. A champion. And great international exposure for the Tigers. Between her and Serena we have fans of women's tennis covered.
Better than West Coast having Margaret Court as their tennis ambassador.

Haha.
I kind of wish Ash was transgender, presented the cup to us,
And then won the inaugural mixed doubles singles title at the AO in January,
And trent cotchin presented her the plate
