Rising star midfielder Reece Conca has signed a new three-year deal with Richmond, which will see him remain a Tiger at least until the end of 2016.
...
“It was never in doubt that I would re-sign with Richmond. It was just a matter of sorting through the details with the Club and my manager,” Conca said.
“I’m very grateful for the opportunity the Club has given me over the last three seasons and I’m excited about what the future holds.”

http://www.lions.com.au/news/2013-09-24/leppitsch-lands-at-lions

The Brisbane Lions are pleased to announce the appointment of Justin Leppitsch as Senior Coach.

Leppitsch, who played 227 games for the Bears and Lions across 14 seasons, will return to the Club where he made his name as a triple-premiership winning defender, having spent the previous seven years as an assistant coach.

Leppitsch, 37 (he turns 38 on October 1), beat a number of high-calibre candidates for the position and has agreed to a three-year deal, effective immediately.

Leppitsch played a significant role in Richmond’s return to the finals as an assistant coach to Damien Hardwick for the past four years.

Martin has committed to a further two seasons at the Club, ensuring he will remain a Tiger until at least the end of 2015.

“We have always considered Dustin a required player at Richmond, and we are pleased he has re-committed to the Club,” said Richmond’s General Manager of Football, Dan Richardson.

“We have been encouraged by the way Dustin has developed as a footballer, and a person, in his time at Richmond.

“We now look forward to Dustin having another strong pre-season and continuing his improvement in 2014 and beyond.”

Richmond will be the first club in AFL /VFL history to have a female president after Peggy O’Neal was voted into the role at a board meeting this morning.

O’Neal, who was born in Virginia in the United States, has spent the past 24 years in Australia. She currently chairs the Club’s risk and compliance committee, is a member of the governance committee, and also chairs the Tigers in Community Foundation.

“It is a privilege to lead such a great football club and I look forward to working with the board and management to build on the momentum we have established in recent seasons,” O’Neal said.
