Spoke intelligently & with humility. Set a new standard for Richmond to always follow.
Thank you Peggy. You have a great business brain, intelligence, integrity and most of all a great caring heart. Thanks Again...
Dunno what's so special about the people having the right to vote. Most people are generally entitled bleating *smile* wits with a desperate need to feel good n involved.
They then turn up n vote for things like Trumpster, Scummo, Bojo, KRudd, or some of the previous directors we've had over our enlightened and entitled years of failure or the directors that Carlscum n Essendrugs have had overseeing their misery in recent years.
Could we realistically get Trump in as new Pres? worth considering
"the persecution of Tommy Lynch by the media is the greatest witchhunt this country has ever seen!!!"
"I'm the greatest AFL president, the best. People come up to me and say - Sir, you are best richmond president since Graeme Richmond sir. Thank you for your service sir"
"President O'Neill - terrible. The worst ever. What she did to this club was a disgrace!!!"
"You know, in college I was the best AFL player and could have gone pro. I was the best at cricket, surfing and Rugby league also. I was an Olympic level athlete"
Hmmmm. He'd certainly distract the media n fans from what's happening on field, if we had a bad year no-one would even notice.They'd all be going nuts over the Trumpster. Maybe we should send him a membership so he could be eligible to run for Prez next year.
Was there any of the AFL executive (Gill and his cronies) at Peggy's last presidents lunch, rumour from QLD is that none of them attended?
Probably failed the integrity test. Mob of mealy mouthed pricks.
Reckon you’re on the money TM.
The bastards were caught shoving cupcakes into their jacket pockets to sell to the MCC members
Peggy O’Neall to be inducted in to Richmond Hall Of Fame.
A very worthy inductee. We have much to be grateful for under Peggy’s leadership.
With Benny she has transformed the club on and off field. 3 premierships have given joy to so many, financial stability and respect.

Hopefully Peggy is in the running for AFL Commission Chairperson

Peggy O'Neal AO to be inducted into Richmond Hall of Fame
Former Richmond President Peggy O’Neal AO, the AFL's first female club President, will be honoured at next Sunday's clash against Carlton.
Hopefully Peggy is in the running for AFL Commission Chairperson
I really think Peggy was the glue that held our club together.
Miss her calming confidence.

PON was great for us, no doubt. Deserved life member and hall of fame member. I greatly appreciate her efforts.
But we have to resist the Richmond of old messianic mentaility - the thinking that one person is the answer - whether it was getting Sheedy back or Malthouse or Balme (hello Focus on Footy Hitler moustache guy, I love that guy) or whatever. I dont think anyone is saying she would be the answer alone but I also think this is worth bearing in mind.
Our recent era of success was based on having good solid people in all the important roles, with calm, disciplined and consistent decision making. It was the only time in the national draft era where we had that system and infrastructure and the funds to implement and maintain it.
And finally, its worth noting that even Peg's start was inglorious. Riding shotgun with Clinton Casey in an election which Greg Miller, then head of footy, stood himself as part of the ticket to shore up the incumbents' numbers.
We'll be right.

I hear what your saying, but still........She was a very impressive operator. To come from the states and become the first female president of a club is unbelievable in my opinion. And she didn't come from New York, she's a coal miners daughter from West Virginia. She needn't be referred to as a saviour, but I think she had a profound influence on the club.
This.
People really over estimate the role of the president at a footy club and how involved they are day to day.
FYI, she is currently the Chancellor of RMIT
