Exactly, Mac.
In years gone by there might well have been blood on the floors in such circumstances, and most likely the media would have caught wind of it.
It seems that the RFC of the twenty-first century is a new beast, with new-found credibility and new-found solidarity.
The Club is pulling together and as time goes on it appears that it is coming together tightly and with a strategic and concentrated focus.
I am starting to get really impressed.

This is what impressed me most. Good luck Pres

I think Peggy's appointment is a good one for the club, and not just for the fact that she is a pioneer now for women, especially those aspiring to a Presidential role within the football industry, but also for her expertise and experience from a successful background as a Lawyer and Business person.
She is also a very proud and passionate supporter of our great football club and I am excited about her tenure during, what should be, a successful period for the Richmond Football Club. Go Tigers!

there is a level of acrimony on almost every Board.tigers80 said:
Boards tend to have high powered people with big egos = acrimony.
As long as it is contained then it is actually a good thing, much better than them all agreeing with each other

The reporting and discussion has mentioned tension as though it is doesn't require any facts to support it. Thought the article you mention had that same tone. It is as though the old guard of football media "need" Richmond to be in turmoil for their world to make sense. Seems to me we haven't looked back since CC left the building and I am looking forward to an uneventful and steady period off the field.
Gary March was an excellent president of a united board that identified talented people to refresh itself and with minimal elections along the way
The staff they employed have also been very good.
It's all looked well planned and the results have turned the club around financially, on field, and brought back the fans.
I hope there are ambitious quality people queuing up to suceed Peggy Oneal, and working hard for the footy club until then.
Congratualions all round but I would like to hear the vision for the next few years from the new president Oneal
The upcoming AGM should be a good night for this.

Couldn't give a flying fig that our new President is female.
As long as she's the right PERSON for the job and gets the mighty Tigers eating them alive, then she'll be doing ok.
Go for it Peggy.

I read she was born in Virginia, I wonder if it was Richmond, Virginia? Might explain somewhat why she settled on the Tiges to support.

Haha she may have...
Theres a good interview with KB on SEN website. She settled in Richmond when she moved over here and it was right at the time of the Save our Skins campaign. She liked the community feel of the club and how the fans and community rallied to save the tigers.
Re: New Prez
Agree. Gale is the media front of the club, always has been. Does it really well.
Peggy continues the March role of keeping the board united and forward thinking. No doubt she is more than capable of doing the job. By no means it is a token appointment. Really proud of the club.

Re: Tigers split on new president
Footy show host - a days work, millionaire another day. Lately he is 5 mornings but that is the closest to a real job he's had since he was boned by the Sydney push. And I would say that in trying to be CEO of 9 and prez at CfC were not compatible. Could not do justice to both. Easy option to drop back to $5m pa a game show host and intermittent ice skating commentator.

I see our illustrious leader said there’s no friendship with McGuire last night, love you more and more everyday Mrs Haines
