News Brendan Gale to Tasmania

[Area51]

Can't help feel like we need him nearly as much now as we did when he took over. Feels a bit like abandoning ship.

And Tigers continue to prop up the s**t clubs. No doubt we well cop less distributions to help fund this Tassie team too.

At least if we bottom out on the ladder the next couple of years we won't be dealing with compromised drafts with the Tassie startup.

 

[Nostradumbass]

Dusty will go too now. No point staying past the end of the contract now.

He would have gone this year if he could.

 

[Punt rd end]

Canna help feeling the Club dropped the ball with Fly and Kingsley...
Would have been a good call and an inspired one if we had lined one of those two to replace Dimma...
But who was going to do that to a 3GF winning Coach?!?

I'm not so sure, part of the revival of colonwood and gws is new voices, would they as head coach revitalise the group?

 

[sante]

Gale won’t leave us without setting us up. He can’t stay forever. But we’ve lost a lot of the good people who got this club to where it is. Let’s hope it doesn’t all fall apart

Imho, Benny Gale should have a statue placed up at Punt Road long before any coach or player from this era. He built this club to become one of the powerhouses of the competition. It was he who saw that we would never be able to perform on field without a strong off-field. He saw the inequity around what other clubs were able to give their coaches and players with facilities and support staff, compared to us. He identified the greatest anchor to success was our debt and how we would never see success without becoming a strong, debt-free club first.

When Benny reached out to supporters to raise the money to get rid of our debt, it was his passion and vision that sold the concept. He was a true leader and drove the initiative in his typical measured, charismatic manner. He had supporters from the everyday Jo-Blo to Multi-Millionaires reaching into their pockets....and suddenly the debt was gone.

Suddenly we could afford better facilities. We removed the cricket team and rebuild Punt Road to become the envy of all. The club brought in support staff to work on development, which was always our greatest flaw (how many potential 'stars' did we recruit only to see them stagnant or fall away? Instead we started developing hidden gems). We brought in Welfare and Leadership leaders and support that completely changed our club culture. We attracted quality coaches, not just head coaches but, more importantly, the assistant coaches. We never had this before Benny.

So, when we look back on those three flags and we look to a future with quality facilities, administration and club culture, thank Benny. I hope he can do the same for the Tassy Team.

 

[Sir_Rancelot]

I have the perfect replacement for Benny.

Agree. Anyone follwing pre 2010 benny was the architect with the vision and plan.

He was more important than dimma. He recruited him and set him up to succeed.

 

[Roachy8]

Not a bad thing.
We cant get stuck in the past. Successful businesses are always changing CEO's to keep fresh.
Benny has done his job. Best of luck to him.

We definitely need to freshen up - no doubt we were living in the past for 2022/2023 and not evolving enough.
All of these changes and departures over the past 12 months will hurt but regeneration is overdue.

Change happens at every club, that's why it's such a competitive industry if Gale leaves, I reckon we go after the Brisbane Lions CEO Greg Swann.

 

[CharacterFirst]

You guys will be right.

Ready made replacements.

should poach shocking so he changes the rules to suit us

 

[CASEYS9420]

Good luck to Brendan, what an absolute legend, 15yrs, The Swinburne Centre, 3 premierships, 100k members, zero debt and hopefully the new JD stand. I would go and headhunt someone like Peter Jackson now, experienced & success always follows

Reckon those guys in the pic meet the criteria to play for Geelong, fits their age bracket

 

[A Tiger 4 lyf]

Legendary performance Benny! Well done! But the league opening its chequebook to dismantle the club is insane, unheard of

Was always on the cards, he can't hang around forever. He helped completely transform the club on and off field. He has done his job.

I’m pretty relaxed in terms of not always going for people who have a historical link to the club but in this specific role we need someone who is actually invested in the club not some corporate who is willing to jump from club to club

Maybe Wayne Campbell who has done a few different jobs outside Richmond and for the afl similar to what Gale was before he returned

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

He will be 34 next year why move interstate

You noticed what state our state is in.
I'd leave if I could.

Daniel Jackson? Too young?

 

[Muddiemoose]

Daniel Jackson? Too young?

Perfect guy to have as a candidate
Resume as good as anyone and isn’t a peanut

Age isn’t an issue imo as long as they have the right skills
Is Dan the guy who they have working with the afl overseas or something like that? I remember an ex tigers player in that kind of role but can’t remember if it was specifically Jackson

 

[Muddiemoose]

Daniel Jackson? Too young?

Joel Bowden another great candidate but unlikely to pry him out of politics right now

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

Daniel Jackson? Too young?

Held in high regard at the club like Grigga.
But like you said a tad young(both).
