Prediction What happens next? - Collingwood after Ed

[76woodenspooners]

With our President having stood down effective immediately, what will happen next?

We have two Vice Presidents, Waitslitz and Korda, which one will now be the acting President? Given that Waitslitz has been by Ed’s side along the whole journey, will he continue to serve on the board?

How will this affect the process of determining a new President?

This has put an end to the succession plan, is that a good thing or a bad thing? Poll above

McGuire would have already played a part in seeking a replacement. Also if the incoming president comes from outside the board the smart thing to do would be to chat to McGuire about what’s involved first.

He might no longer hold the title, but I don’t think that will diminish his influence on the appointment of the next president.

Club be lot more Fresh now as the Club has been feeling Stale last few Seasons

I would like to see both VPs go as well. No need to rush into board replacements, in fact it would be good to trim the board down a bit.

Trump is free. I’m not saying it’ll happen, but you never know.

I would think Waislitz will stand down from vice president at least... he might even see it as a good time to go back to his main interests.

Korda might see it as an opportunity to show the faithful that he deserves being elected in next time.

Iggy Pop for President.

Where does this put Nathan Buckley? Obviously, if we have a mediocre season he will be gone?

 

[Scodog10]

I think it largely depends on who lead today’s announcement from a board perspective. I think we’re about to see where the new power of the Collingwood football club resides and it will be Murphy that steps up.

Cleaning house Antz so he’ll need a very impressive season and probably to “re-apply” for the role. None of Ed’s “he’s the incumbent and he’s doing well so we extend his contract”. His odds of surviving took a hit today and I’d be surprised if he sees out the year.

I hope we continue to learn and initiate change but I also hope we defend and clear our club against any lies or misconceptions spewed out over this attack.

Same position he is now, team preforms he ok, not, then we are getting a replacement

 

[left at home]

Murphy has led most of the change lately, so seems to be the one up to the job

I think the pass mark for a Buckley extension has increased. I think he'd almost need a prelim final to justify it at the moment.

Problem is he is an Eddie Man and Mates with him

 

[Antz]

I have a feeling it's going to be a very long year/season for all of us supporters.

 

[Frogs]

Other way I reckon. I think the pass mark has probably been lowered. Finals would do it.

If we have a poor(ish) year, Bucks will be able to speak to the leaking of the report, McGuire going, lots of change generally and say that those are the reasons we have suffered poorer on-field performance.

Club moves on and hopefully learns from all this, I hope we let the football do the talking now.

 

[Ant85]

Bring democracy to the club. Real elections, real board tickets.

Not overly keen on some of those board members - Waitslitz and Holgate - and others who have held long tenures at the club and did nothing about the systemic racism and boys club culture.

Would be great to get some diversity on the board - not only in terms of ethnicity and gender, but also professional background. We shouldn't just have a corporate board of wealthy execs - it should reflect all walks, including academics, artists etc.

Anyone here want to put their hand up?

 

[jmac70]

It’s not going to be smooth sailing. CGU leave at the end of the year, maybe more sponsors to follow.

 

[stormskye]

talk footy and avoid the woke Twitter mob who’s lives revolve around finding something to be angry at, racism where it isn’t, and being offended at everything, what a miserable existence!

Being on the FOOTBALL season!

So, Eddie knows so many people it will be hard to find someone he does not know.
If Murphy is the best qualified replacement, that’s all that matters.
Eddie is gone like you wanted, move on

With what happened this off season, my guess finals, playing good footy.
But really we are all guessing

 

[domus]

It could bring the team together-the old us against the rest of them motivation. One can only hope.

 

[Chilli Con Incarnate]

Reading any social media or even watching abc news today, you'd assume that Collingwood has been a front for the nazi party. I'm very scared we are witnessing the last days of Collingwood.

That might be seen as over the top by some, but some of the viewpoints being presented (not just on social media but by credible news outlets) seem incredibly aggressive and pointed towards Collingwood. Whoever comes in needs to act swiftly or we'll find ourselves losing sponsorship and supporters rapidly.
