Thanks Benny for everything you gave us, we will be forever grateful. For me the best move he made was getting Neil Balme & Blake Caracella into the club, when we there abouts & then pushed us to the ultimate success without that we wouldn't have developed the winning game style that gave us years of joy.
Hopefully he enjoys his new role & gives us the opportunity to redevelop & have the balls to ask for the same as all other clubs get from the AFL & not be stomped on like the last few years.
 
I love that we had a dynasty under him but lets be honest he went really loopy towards the end:

-all the woke shite forced down our throats

-no balls to stand up to the way the afl treat us and the way we are umpired

-no balls to call out the rule changes by Stephen Shocking that stopped our dynasty dead in its tracks

-refusal to return the traditional yellow even though the fluro had run its race and looked a million times worse with 3 different coloured sponsors

-accepted green, red and blue sponsors to desecrate our sacred guernsey

-accepted above number sponsors even though theres no afl rule that you have to have one and we only make a small amount of money from them anyway (which goes to pauper clubs anyway)


I'm sure theres more
Let's put the negatives aside for another thread mate and celebrate his achievements and how he led us out of the wilderness to the promised land. All those points highlighted are either trivial, irrelevant and can easily be fixed up. There is no point standing up to the AFL if you're the only voice. Knowing Benny he may have pursued other club CEO's about this and never got the support. I'm more concerned about the state of our FD as it's reminiscing that of when he first arrived, but It's for another thread .

Just announced as Tasmania CEO.


The Tasmania Football Club is thrilled to announce that Brendon Gale has signed on to be the Club’s first CEO, starting in early 2025.

Brendon Gale is arguably the AFL industry’s most successful Chief Executive Officer, leaving the Richmond Football Club as the first AFL Club to reach 100,000 members, having delivered three Premierships and been part of a leadership team that has entrenched the Tigers as one of the AFL’s powerhouse clubs.

On top of his football success, Brendon is a corporate leader, having held non-Executive Director roles in business, the non-Government sector and the Victorian Equal Opportunity Commission.

Highly respected, extremely experienced and a proud product of Tasmanian football, Brendon will be joining Tasmania Football Club when he finalises his work for the Richmond Football Club.

Chair of the Tasmania Football Club, Grant O’Brien said he was thrilled on behalf of the Club’s membership, supporters and all Tasmanians.

“Not only have we got a highly successful and proven AFL Club CEO, we have also tempted home a proud son of Tasmania.

“Brendon grew up on the North West Coast of Tasmania, and before his incredible 244-game career at AFL level, he played his early football for Burnie Hawks and represented Tasmanian four times.

“This is an enormous vote of confidence in our Club.

“Brendon is fully committed to focussing on completing his role at the Richmond Football Club in the same professional manner that has been a feature of his leadership at the Club, and while we are excited, we respect the fact that he has a big job to complete before we can welcome him home to Tasmanian football,” Mr. O’Brien said.

Mr O’Brien said that the CEO’s appointment delivers another significant milestone for the Club and clearly signifies the Club progressing toward its debut season in 2028. The Board have a clear action plan for the remainder of 2024, under the proven leadership of Executive Director, Kath McCann.

The Club CEO announcement follows the launch of the Club name, colours and emblem, the signing up of over 190,000 Founding Members and significant progress in the delivery of the Club’s Establishment Phase Business Plan, including key infrastructure projects.
 
A legend of the club. What great a great record of service to the Tigers.

The decision to not appoint him as CEO of the AFL will go down in history as the most insular and petty senior appointment decision in Australian sport.

Well the one inks not dry on article on leaving and then this comes out. heck me. Just goes to show what a ****ed up industry the AFL is, going to a competitor but going to hang around with us for another six months. Weak as piss from our board (regardless of his legendary status for service to our clubs) conflicts need to be managed appropriately.

Tassie aren't even in for 4 years. If they were an active competitor maybe but what is the risk here?
