Nothing's been announced yet.

I'm predicting it will be Jeff Browne, but I suppose anything is possible.

OK

A team which made the 2018 GF and 4th in 2019. Finished 2020 by beginning a rebuild.

The coaching changes are already in place.

A start any new green coach with a background in player development could possibly wish for. Inherit a bunch of excellent prospects and no pressure other than to grow with them. (an accident?)

Change has evolved looking like a coupe, it was due. But the result thus far ls more like a handover than anything else.

"Can hardly blame those people for what they inherited" Fkn I will !!!

Let's just say I'm very pleased to see Christine Holgate there. Now, to get the broader organisational context right by rebuilding the club's communication and reputation, and ultimately its desirability as a destination for the best footballers in the country.

KFC was a bad fail to that end, but Craig McCrae is a very promising choice as coach, so I'm willing to grimace quietly at the KFC logo (expecting it to cause reputational problems, nonetheless), and to see how they grasp the challenge from hereon in.

Best of luck to all.

Disappointed that the entire Browne ticket got up. Was hoping that Collingwood members would show they couldn't be so easily swayed.

It's increasingly annoying to me also that Murphy had to sacrifice himself when Korda had already signaled his intention to resign from the board at the end of 2022.

He should have moved that forward and allowed Murphy to remain.

Browne now needs to prove he's not just Eddie 2.0 and if I see a media release from Browne in coming days highlighting the need for all Collingwood supporters to now come together and be "side by side" I'll dead set spew up.

So over the over use of that slogan and I suspect I'm not the only one.
