Don't Boo! It is hurtful to the inept and corrupt.

Why? Do we have Democrats in Victoria willing to pay people to make false allegations and pay off Judges?
No, we have a strong ethical and values based culture. Bankruptcy, grift, fakery, and narcissism, are not our club values. He 'd be better suited at Essendon. Whatever it takes. Sounds legit. MEGA. Make Essendon Great Again. I'm a MEGAlomaniac. Perfect.

My dealings with him have been good.
Can get to know him a bit better here.

Spent a bit of time with him on the Gold Coast recently.
He’s nice enough but definitely doesn’t have Brendan’s people skills. Reckon he’s not a natural performer in group situations either. He’s been in communications and marketing but I’d like to understand his business acumen and financial management experience before making any judgement

RFC - Back to Back Dynasties
The theme of Dimma's speech to RFC in late 2022 (Jack Dyer Medal night) was Taking the Stairs.
The Pies documentary is called Take the Steps.
How much more can the Pie frauds possibly plagiarise from Dimma and RFC? 🤔

Interesting article by Caro in the Saturday Age.
Benny G and Blair met Balmey for lunch at the Rowena Parade cafe.
Tapped Balmey on the shoulder, told him his time at RFC had expired.
(Obviously, Balmey was blindsided.)
Personally, I think it showed disrespect to a great Richmond Immortal.

With due respect I dont think he was in key capacity any longer , both livo and Hartley were put into exec roles to protect from poachers and are effectively the clubs on field power brokers

I don't agree with the Balme redundancy. Even keep him on a part time role . We're in a transition period so much people gone who better to advice and steady the ship in the footy department then the best footy administrator even to mentor Yze.

I like Balme but you can't constantly bag people running the organisation without any backlash.
The shiit that went down in July 2020 with the AFL started the angst against us.
From rule changes to bending us over on the park is ridiculous.
There hasn't been a game since that period that we have been given a fair ride

I do not begrudge Benny G his wealth and success, he recently sold the home in Brighton for $6 million.
He has worked hard for it, based on merit.
However, to blindside Balmey, a Richmond Immortal, over a cheap lunch at a cafe is poor.
We wouldn't have known if Caro didn't publish the report.

There is no neat way in that situation… I know people (not rfc) at the other end of that who come out and go it was the best decision made for them that they couldn’t see for themselves

So we are a $100 million dollar business

Would like to know where the money we where giving to blame is now going to be spent

All our staff have been poached

What exactly do we have the money for ?

If Benny is in fact leaving this year I question whether this is his call to make. Surely the structure of the Football Department for 2025 and beyond would be the new CEO’s call to make
