Toast Presidency and The Board

Thank you 76woodenspooners

One of BigFooty’s all-time-favourite posters, Reykjavik , was all across the board level stuff. He once posted a list of the responsibilities of a Not-For-Profit board like that of Collingwood …

abcdef.....ijklmnop

NFP board responsibilities
Specific responsibilities of a not-for-profit (NFP) board include:

  • Driving the strategic direction of the organisation
  • Working with the CEO to enable the organisation to obtain the resources, funds and personnel necessary to implement the organisation's strategic objectives
  • Implementing, maintaining and (as necessary) refining a system of good governance that is appropriate for the organisation
  • Reviewing reports and monitoring the performance of the organisation
  • Regularly reviewing the board's structure and composition, so that these are appropriate for the organisation
  • Appointing – and managing the performance of – a suitable CEO
  • Succession planning for the CEO
While the above points are also applicable to for-profit boards, NFP boards also face a unique range of issues, such as:

  • Difficulties in defining and measuring organisational effectiveness
  • Transgression of role boundaries
  • The negative impact of the structural compositions of some NFP boards, including those arising from representative models
  • Funding dependencies and constraints

In practice, the role of the board is to supervise an organisation's business in two broad areas:

  1. Overall business performance - ensuring the organisation develops and implements strategies and supporting policies to enable it to fulfill the objectives set out in the organisation's constitution. The board delegates the day to day management of the organisation but remains accountable to the shareholders for the organisation's performance. The board monitors and supports management in an on-going way.
  2. Overall compliance performance - ensuring the organisation develops and implements systems to enable it to comply with its legal and policy obligations (complying with statutes such as the Corporations Act 2001, adhering to accounting standards) and ensure the organisation's assets are protected through appropriate risk management.

Totally agree.
I think she has been crucified - the questions are why and by whom?
She must be shaking her head saying “why did I ever agree to help out Collingwood…big mistake”.
Put yourself out there…the haters gonna hate, hate, hate…shake it off, shake it off.

I think it's part of the larger battle between the woke and the non-woke. I think the woke have been trying to get to eddie in areas where they are strong like indigenous and women's rights and the non-woke boned bridie in an area that the woke are weak - traditional connections to old institutions.

the second coming will be here soon. If we ask nicely maybe he will come back...... if we say we're sorry for hurting him

Nah, we're not falling apart. Media beat up. Honestly, they should go to Carlton. If you're taking advice from your arch-rivals, it must be pretty desperate. If they didn't have a history in Melbourne, they'd be off to Tasmania in the next five years.

He's left the room but he's still in the house

He committed to spending 2022 on his succession plan …

… and damn-it, that’s what he’s gunna do, and he ain’t gunna let the minor inconvenience of no longer being on the board stop him!

Yeah, good point I think.

Neil Wilson didn’t get a fraction of the blow-back that Bridie did for doing pretty much the same thing.
 
So we just going to gloss over the claim that Browne suggested he should be having an input on the cricket team selection just because Channel 9 owned the rights?

On SM-G981B using BigFooty.com mobile app
I don't see an issue with that really.
Channel 9 own Cricket and NRL. why wouldn't they have some input?

The AFL is a different cat.
AFL is solely owned by the clubs.
In any case Browne would be beholding to members not shareholders.

Not at all. Players we recruit grow up supporting other clubs but we don't launch into them questioning their allegiance. Pendles didn't grow up a Collingwood fan. We recruit coaches that bled for their previous clubs.

Why is acquiring a clearly qualified board member any different? What do you honestly think they're gonna do to the joint?

Board members need to be effective at running things first, not barracking for them. Hiring supporters to run a club isn't always the best approach (look at Carlton). She can support whoever she wants for all I care as long as she is an effective administrator. Everything about her credentials proved that.

You do realise none of the new coaching group have been outed supporting an opposition club twice since they were employed by Collingwood. They also don’t have a two year minimum membership requirement to be employed.

I agree with your premise that it shouldn’t make a difference who any of them support (although board members should really be Collingwood people, IMO), but what you implied and followed up with don’t reconcile with what has happened to O’Donnell.

bridie was put on the cross for a photo of her wearing a dogs jumper taken some years back.....do you think we should string up pendles for any melbourne footy cards that his mother bought him when he was a kid?

I’m “non-woke” and I wanted McGuire gone because he had overstayed his welcome and wasn’t making good decisions in the latter years of his presidency.

On the other end of it, the appointment of O’Donnell was terrible. She didn’t belong on the Collingwood board.

Korda is leaving the gig next season regardless, but Browne is all kinds of dodgy. Apparently preaching about bringing democracy back to Collingwood (funny, given he's a mate of Eddie) yet wants to become president via a backroom board deal. I personally want nothing to do with Browne, but Korda is not particularly inspiring either.

Murphy was my ideal choice, but he doesn't want the gig. Maybe Licca will be the next prez
It’s a shame Murphy can’t commit to being president. He was the perfect candidate that could have appeased both sides.

Had runs on the board with his 2017 review and didn’t have the baggage the other board members had.

well thats fair enough. We are all caught up in bigger trends, but a number of people were gunning for eddie because he was eddie and a number of people were gunning for bridie the minute she spoke about promoting women's sport.

btw does holgate belong on the board?... and did waislitz belong for 20 years?

well she was invited as a guest and she was lent her dress....but i agree that it means rich people pay their taxes

We could easily find a specialist agility coach from amongst the people in the room, they'd all be so well practised in the art of evasion...

I think the fact that she’s still making “ go Dogs” noises at the pointy end of the board dispute shows how she lacks awareness about the image such comments project. It was a dumb thing to do, as was assuming the private chat wouldn’t get out. Whilst it’s not the end of the world it did illustrate her inability to read the room. Besides, sounds like she would have walked anyway having landed a new job.

Ed (yes gone but still active) has selected some candidates in waiting from the 1st two categories - the 3rd category - aka members can gags

No issue with Holgate. She's been a supporter of the club since 2003 and presumably fulfilled all the relevant criterion to sit on the board in the first place.

Waislitz got in via the McGuire ticket, but him not being eligible at the beginning never sat well with me. It set a precedent that we're still seeing today.
