New RFC president.

[GetOverIt]

Speed is in probably the most experienced sports administrator in the country.

I'll wait until I see Maurice in the Australian Sports Hall of Fame before shortening the gap between the two.

Also, not that there needs to be an also so far is the chasm in class between these two candidates, but despite his recent hand in the turnaround, Maurice was also part of a failed era at Richmond, and as such his card still has red marks on it. Just like Gary's.

Running a football club very different to the ICC. Kennett remarked many times the very unique nature of running a club and connecting with supporters and identifying their needs. Malcolm obviously has talent and intellect but this challenge is unique.

No amount of entry's into the hall of fame will give you that experience
I am always interested in the thoughts of people who have meet him as I have...

He ran the NBL in it's most successful incarnation in the 80s. Put it on the map.

Ran an entire comp, connected with the supporters and identified their needs.

Then there is all his other sports admin experience, as well as his law credentials (very similar to Maurice's).

Incidentally, what football club has Maurice run?

 

[nobulltiger]

Me, I'm the president.

That's my point..he has run a comp not a club and it was decades ago. Look, I just don't think it is that clear cut >Dennis Pagan great coach a decade or so ..is he being sought after for coaching?

Maurice has been involved in the club and seen the ups and downs first hand...I don't think he has any background in law btw does he?

 

[CHIMP MAGNET]

I don't think he has any background in law btw does he?

Maurice? Or Speedy?

 

[GetOverIt]

Maurice? Or Speedy?

Didn't say his law and "very similar to Maurice"?
I know Speedy was a barrister but I am not sure about Maurice

Maurice the Economist
thought he'd done some law with ML, but it wasn't ML it was MLIM, apologies
still got nothing on the Speedster, IMO
but it's not the Thunderdome, both will stay on the board regardless i hope

 

[Wild Westiger]

Speed, a capable pair of hands to take us forward after Gary March.

 

[fargothegreat]

Speed, because he has the cooler name of the teo

 

[WATIGE]

Definitely don't want Maurice - things I have heard round the traps. Speedy for me and I'll take Peggy as second dibs based on a couple of v. quick meets with her.

Peggy? Interesting..I haven't heard much about her
.What have you heard about Maurice?

He's known to be a bit of a gangster of love.

 

[WATIGE]

If my sources are correct he's a bit of a political player and there for factional reasons. I understand we could end up in Lions territory if he got too much of a grip.

 

[Riskingheadandshin]

He's known to be a bit of a gangster of love.

Cause he speaks of the pompatus of love?

 

[The Dice Man]

Yeah he's a bit of a joker

Midnight toker....

Midnight toker....

Cool, does this mean I'm getting Cheetos, a box of Tally Ho's, and Dark Side of the Moon in my membership giveaways next year?

No - just a copy of an average film starring Nicholas Cage.

 

[Stevi_Tigers]

hopefully who ever gets the job keeps up on the rite path I don't want to be s**t again

 

[Nuffers]

Not to sure I like this.

Meh, two quality candidates. I think Richmond is in pretty good hands, regardless of the outcome. A nice problem to have.

I agree, and it shits me when we get the journos using the terms "power struggle, board split"
FFS, its two quality candidates vying for the big job. We would be poorer if only one was capable.

 

[THE_GUN]

O'Shannassy for me - He has more buisness acumen and possibly the ability to take the club further in regards to financial position and sponsorship due to his contacts.

 

[Top_4_Tiger]

Reading their respective qualifications (through a media slant) it seems Speed the more impressive candidate. Our current vice president looks like quality too.

Geez our off field team is so much better than 5-6 years ago!

 

[Wild Westiger]

Already been said. These guys are quality candidates and there's nothing wrong with having these two compete for the top job. A beat up for mine. At least it's a distraction from the Dustin Martin drama.
