Re: Peggy O’Neal the new Richmond president (RFC site)
Time will tell of course, but I think this is a great appointment.

Only joking. Best of luck, seems like a great appointment and happy to see the tigers lead the pack.
Agree. First item of business is to get a kitchen sink intalled in her office. . :-Xse7en said:A woman doing a man's job.
Well, I've seen it all now.

A mature board was able to work through the Speed and O’Shannassy split and appoint her without dividing and voting - great work and she still has the expertise of the current board behind her.
Great outcome and proud that the club can be leaders off the field. (we don't need media personalities to build profile)
I assume that means there is one spot left on the Board to be filled left by March.
Coming from Landers and Rogers (one of the leading international sports lawyer firms in Aust) means she will understand the sports business world pretty well.
Might be worth attending this yeas AGM to hear her vision for the club in person.

A wonderful hard working Board member. Don't underestimate how much this decision saved us from potential instability. Speed wasn't even a member until a few years ago, read carefully his "supportive" statement basically wishing her well. That's what you say in a reference for crap employees, not in support of your new president. If you've got long service leave owing, ask Gary March what he thinks of him. Peggy is a wonderful appointment.
Yes it is Peggy Haines.CC TIGER said:

Congratulations to Peggy O'Neal as she begins her tenure as RFC President.
As an aside, I did get an opportunity tonight to talk to someone who did work with Mal Speed in his time with Cricket Australia.
My friend tells me that we are very lucky to have Mal Speed on the Board, he is an extremely good operator.
Prior to his time at CA, Speed was an excellent criminal lawyer, tough and uncompromising.
At CA, Speed turned the administration around and took it into the 21st century.
This wouldn't have been easy as his predecessor, Halbish, had been sacked.
Speed's reputation is for setting an objective, planning in detail, then working tirelessly and uncompromisingly until it is achieved.
He did have an illness that caused his premature retirement from his ICC position, and hopefully is fully recovered.
Personally, I wish Peggy O'Neal a long and successful tenure as RFC President.
Also, I hope that sometime in the future, Mal Speed gets his opportunity to lead the RFC to further glory.

Well done to both Peggy n the RFC, nothing at all wrong in being FIRST at something, anything, ladders would be nice.
Seeing as we've advanced from token female board member to token female El Presidente for life ;D, yeah yeah I know sexist misogynist pig. Just wondering if any one knows of a possible further female candidate with the cred to take up the board vacancy left by the Marchfly's departure.
If it's good enough to promote one femme from board to pres why not find another competent femme to round out the hierarchy even more.

Re: New Prez
FWIW, my sister now tells me she will take up barracking for the tiges. Follows up my good work on converting my niece.tigertim said:Pfft, just pandering to the female demographic......
Our new pres is discussing premierships starting from next year on the site that must not be named!
I for one am glad! Remember Dimma copping it at the start of the year for telling the fans finals were coming. But boy did the fans turn out for the final!

How pleased am I! My wife is American and I told her that she couldn't support any other team but the Tigers (I did also give her some valid reasons as well - colours, history, emblem, sleeping giant etc). Now she's also a member and is even my rabid than I am! Anyhow I called her today and told her a fellow countrywoman is now Richmond's president. Did Hubby make a good call or what! ;D
