Easy, he's not dead.Vale Benny G.
The epitome of the Richmond Man.
A breath of fresh air is required, through every organisation from time to time.
The new CEO can ditch the extortionate, unwieldy development plan.
No harm in reneging on the costly folly, as Vic & Qld govts have done with their white elephant projects.
A new building is no guarantee of on-field success and performance, as we can see.
Great post Scoop. It's like we were a project that is now done and time to close the books.This is what the other side of the mountain looks like.
It was always going to happen, and he is going to Tassie, nothing more certain.
AFL would have backed the truck up with cash because he is the best in the biz. By far.
BUT, it still feels like a kick in the guts. BUT, still feels like it is last person out turn out the lights.
The IP that has drained out of the place the last 18 months is astounding. Feels almost a historic phase.
Blair Hartly and Tim Livingstone are the hold over and you have to wonder what they are thinking. And will Benny come back for Blair for the Tassie team?
It's not rock bottom but how quickly things turn. Huge task ahead. This draft and Chris Toce's work will determine how quickly we stay here. A new CEO will have a lot easier job if the team is competitive in his first year.
What Dimma giving the club 6 mnths to find the right coach? Your right should've given the club 15yrs notice.I admire Benny for not doing a Dimma on us and allowing the transition to be thoughtful and calm,
what about the mastermind, Leppacella ?The most important person to walk through our doors in recent years.
I have him ahead of Hardwick, Cotchin etc.
Yes, we could. From 2009.Benny is a POWERHOUSE signature to have. His return is long overdue IMO. Add to that a new coach...
Could we be looking at a new ERA at Tigerland?
Superstar.
Guess we all knew this was coming. Seems the club has been preparing for it for a while too, obviously. Big shoes for someone to fill.
Welcome Andrew Demetriou!
Yeah but you’d like to think though that the legacy he has left is that there’s a plethora of good people with an ingrained cultural outlook that will ensure the club rolls on. Not withstanding though that a new CEO will need to honour that legacy.This is what the other side of the mountain looks like.
