Is O'Rourke the old man of the dud that the Dawks drafted at number 2 in the draft? Was a mad Tiges supporter apparently.

Legal Eagle, found this article from 2012, (although there are more recent ones), because I loved the last paragraph :) :

But in her typically wry manner, Padbury also admits to admiring ''the Richmond midfield and those who have to stick to their guns at great personal cost''. Clearly, with that AFL team to idolise, she lives in hope.

Previous history was as a board director of the Victoria Racing Club.
I'm very interested to hear his views on our continued involvement in gaming but given his background I'm not confident we will exit any time soon.

She needs to be careful with that sort of admiration for the team. She'll be labelled a liniment sniffer by the physed teachers.
