Luc Richard to Leave AFFL: Greg Watson to Rejoin and Take Over Team

The AFFL is facing an unexpected transition as Luc Richard, a long-standing and respected member, has announced his decision to step down from the league. Luc, who joined us in 2010 and secured championship titles in 2017 and 2022, has cited personal issues as the reason for his departure.

Luc’s decision, coming just 13 hours before the auction, has undoubtedly sent shockwaves through our community. His contributions to the league, both on and off the field, have been significant. As a two-time champion and Deputy Commissioner, Luc has been instrumental in shaping the AFFL’s identity, making his departure a major loss for us all.

Welcoming Back Greg Watson

In the midst of this transition, we are pleased to announce that Greg Watson will be returning to the AFFL to take over Luc’s team. Greg is not only a familiar face but a cornerstone of the league’s history. He was part of the AFFL from its inaugural season, winning the very first championship. Greg remained an active and competitive manager until he left after the 2019 season.

Greg’s return is a significant and welcome development. His deep understanding of the league and his past success make him an ideal candidate to step in and continue the legacy that Luc has built. We are confident that Greg will seamlessly reintegrate and bring his competitive edge back to the AFFL.

Looking Forward

With Luc’s participation in the auction, followed by Greg taking over the team, we anticipate a smooth transition. The return of a founding member and former champion like Greg Watson is not just reassuring but also exciting for everyone involved.

As we move forward, we remain committed to upholding the competitive integrity and camaraderie that define the AFFL. While Luc’s departure marks the end of an era, Greg’s return signals a new chapter filled with promise and renewed energy.

We will keep everyone updated on any further developments. For now, let’s focus on the auction and the exciting season ahead. Luc’s legacy in the AFFL will remain strong, and we wish him nothing but the best as he steps away from the league. At the same time, we eagerly welcome Greg back into the fold and look forward to seeing him in action once again.
