Richmond president John O’Rourke says he is not daunted by the job ahead as he leads the club’s attempt to get back on the right track.
The Richmond Football Club board will sit firmly at the crossroads on Tuesday night when it gathers to plot its future beyond Brendon Gale.
The Punt Road project stalled last year due to funding problems and remains Gale’s primary short-term focus. “I think that would be an incredibly harsh judgment,” said O’Rourke. “It’s ridiculous to say he’s left us in a hole after 15 years of good work and coming from a low base.” While O’Rourke said a football background was important, he has not ruled out seeking commercial candidates from outside the game. The other top sporting vacancy is at the Victoria Racing Club“We’re going to take some time with this,” said O’Rourke, who, while insisting he was not daunted by the task, admitted the workload ahead for him had increased by some measure. “There’s no panic because the foundation Brendon has created is so good.
, coach Hardwick eyed another flag but quickly became frustrated by his team’s failure to deliver on their previous non-negotiables and eyed an opportunity on the Gold Coast.
