Richmond announced a net profit for the year of $1,590,755 at last night’s (Dec. 16) Annual General Meeting.

Also, at the 2009 AGM, there were three recipients of Club Life Membership - current captain Chris Newman, current Board member Garry Cameron, and former player Chris Naish.

Newman, 27, has played 154 games for Richmond since making his senior league debut in 2002, and been a model of consistency along the way.  He finished fourth in the Club’s Best and Fairest award in 2008, third in 2009, and has just completed his first year as the Tigers’ skipper. 

Cameron has been a Board member since 1999, with eight of those years as Club treasurer.  He has provided significant financial expertise and business acumen to the Board during this time.

Naish, a clever small forward, played 143 games for Richmond from 1990-97 and kicked 212 goals.  He did not miss a senior game with the Tigers for three years, from 1994-96, and was a key member of the team’s 1995 finals campaign.  These days, Naish is still heavily involved with the Club, as a player mentor, and serving on the committee of the Former Players and Officials Association.
