As per Below nice idea Jayman15

Side note.. We really need a new thread in this Tassie forum just for all Media posts as it helps keep abreast of Tassie related footy news

 

[flaps]

Anyone got a good list (be it Twitter, or otherwise) of all footy reporters/journos in Tas? Could be a good follow if someone already collated something.

(under 18 Allies coach) touches briefly on McKercher and Sanders in two separate interviews on 11/7.

The interview with Whateley SEN: McVeigh expects both to go top 5… Sanders stocks are obviously rising



And he compares McKercher’s style to Zach Merrett with his laser like kicks on RSN Breakfast with Harf

I’m really happy with his appointment, he seems a grounded/solid individual and a non-political nomination was smart. For those that missed him last Fri on SEN this was another interview with him

We're in good hands here with O'Brien.
Every time I hear an interview with him I get more excited for our team.

Gale rejects overtures from AFL, in box seat for Tasmanian CEO role (The Age)

By Caroline Wilson
Updated August 4, 2023 — 6.16pmfirst published at 4.40pm
Richmond chief executive Brendon Gale has rejected an overture from the AFL to serve in a key role under new boss Andrew Dillon in favour of remaining at the Tigers as the club enters a new era post Damien Hardwick.
In a decision which has key ramifications for Dillon’s restructure and places Gale in the box seat to serve as Tasmania’s first CEO, the long-serving Tigers chief confirmed he would be staying at Richmond for at least another season.

The Gale move leaves a number of other club bosses, including Sydney chief Tom Harley, in the AFL’s sights as it searches for a new head of football – a job soon to be vacated by AFL CEO-elect Dillon. Ameet Bains (Western Bulldogs) and Simon Garlick

(Fremantle) have also been linked to the role, but neither have been offered the job. Dillon would not comment on his new executive team, but a new head of football could be unveiled as early as next week.

Gale has chosen to remain at Richmond to oversee the appointment of a new senior coach, expected to be announced by the start of October. Tigers president John O’Rourke said in a recent interview that he did not believe Gale should leave Richmond for a role other than that of a chief executive.
O’Rourke was also determined to retain Gale to lead the funding search and launch of the large-scale redevelopment of Punt Road.

The Gale decision could also lead to Tasmania moving to appoint him as chief executive by the end of next year. The team’s first chairman, Grant O’Brien, met Gale in Melbourne last week along with a number of famous native Tasmanian football names including Jack Riewoldt, Peter Hudson, Rodney Eade and Scott Clayton.

O’Brien has said the fledgling club would search for an experienced CEO, mindful of the Gold Coast experience. The Suns launched with all the senior roles taken by less experienced personnel as compared with Greater Western Sydney, which did the opposite.

Although the Tasmanian blueprint involved the appointment an interim CEO until the football team’s build was further advanced, the availability of Gale and his stated passion for Tasmania could see the team’s new board led by O’Brien change that strategy and bring forward the appointment from 2027 to the start of 2025. Both Gale and O’Brien grew up in Penguin in the state’s north.

Caro on 3AW just reiterated that Benny Gale is being sounded out as the first Tassie Footy CEO. Would be a cracking appointment.

Caroline Wilson on the 'end of the era' that is about to hit Richmond - 3AW is Football

Caroline Wilson says Richmond fans should brace for the end of an era, with a slew of retirements coming.

Interesting comment right at end - Caro's understanding is Gale is looking at properties in Hobart.

 

[Feraligatr]

I would love for Gale to go to Tassie.

He really changed Richmond for the better so to have him at the get gonfor Tassie would be huge for the club.

What should Tasmania's AFL guernsey look like?

The Map? A sash? Vote for your favourite in the poll.

Can someone please step behind the paywall?

Interesting rumour shared by Brent Costelloe during the SEN Tassie show this morning. Brent said that he’s heard Jack Riewoldt is set to become the first paid employee of the Tasmanian Football Club. Jack’s role is likely to be an ambassadorial one where he will promote the club throughout the state and the wider AFL community. If true, this is a huge appointment and yet another example of this club doing everything the right way so far.

It's probably been said but obviously when teams get funding they build stadiums and facilities that include things that are accessible to the public. With the outrage that has been has it been said publicly that the new facilities will include medical and other health and education facilities for the public? Need to get in partnership with the Uni and Tafe. That way people can't say the money isn't being spent on health and education because it will be in a way. St Kilda as an example at RSEA.

With the training facility I think it should be built to incorporate not only just the AFL & AFLw teams but the TIS and possibly future scope of A league side. (Western United currently share Essendon facilities)

This is one of the reasons why I disagree with the supposed Cornelian Bay location but I guess they will just go for whatever the cheapest option is going to be

Good pick up, if that’s the case. Would offer so much to the club having him on board
