With all due respect (and they are mighty impressive enticements) I think your wife might fill the void and be better placed. After all she's a woman, of a minority background, increases the diversity and what's more she's had to put up with you all these years that she must have the patience of a Saint, the wisdom of Solomon and the generosity of spirit befitting the role of Club president.

Bless all those who support me ! You will be rewarded with success.
I pledge to embark in a once in a Century buy up of players to have that Silverware back at Victoria Park where it belongs within three years.
I will follow the model used by North Melbourne in 1973-1976. Players out of contract and free agents will be offered big money to come join the Mighty Pies on our mission to have all the Premierships’A Cake Walk. A ten year plan to return Collingwood to being the Powerhouse we once were.
I would invite Mick Malthouse back as our new Board of Selectors Chairman.
Legends Members will also be rewarded with a free Collingwood bottle of Port if we can win three games in a row in any season under my reign.
And as a special treat for the common fans I will bring the He’are Peanuts guy who used to sell these around the ground at Victoria Park plus free hot jam donuts for all members if we win any home and away game. Social Club will again be the Powerhouse it once was. Membership will be exclusive and require a nomination and second endorsement.
Female Magpies members will be entitled to a free dinner night with a special treat of male dancers for them as a cabaret show.
I want to also change our mascot to Uncle Arthur who I feel represents so much of the ordinary fan I grew up with and remind me of my current relatives. A humble Pies icon.
Under my Presidency everyone will be welcome and our Club will return to being loved by all.

Has the club ever looked at what it would cost to get Vic Park up to standard to host, say, the Giants or the Suns?
I'd love for my kids to be able to say that they've watched the Pies play at home and, personally, I'd love to do it once more before I die. |

There would be very little chance of that happening.
The ground is owned/run by the council and they have been notoriously difficult in approving any capital upgrades or developments that would facilitate AFL games hence why we moved away from there.
What are the chances of Yarra Council approving new stands to be built at VP??

If it was up to a few me would be playing there in a local comp. Then 2 years later they would be bleating that their own clubs had gone to the wall. Oh and the support to the homeless etc will have gone.

Respected yes, liked no! Love your candidates!
Let me see, someone who knows how to say no - to Melbourne getting the gate, to propping up other clubs, to this day, that day, and every other fricken day, footy, I just want footy. Someone who demands and gets the players to behave during season, but still have them love him, so others want to come here.

Nick Maxwell perhaps; he's been out and about doing leadership roles for NRL and AFL in the last few years. Regardless it should be someone NOT chosen or endorsed by the media.

| I can't think of anyone but preferably someone from outside who did not play for the club. We need to look outside the box for once. |

The President has to be a died-in-the-wool Collingwood supporter.
Otherwise its like looking for the Pope outside the Catholic faith.
The CEO doesn't, but the President does. |

| Collingwood has announced Mark Korda and Peter Murphy as interim co-presidents while they search for Eddie McGuire’s successor. A decision on a more permanent appointment will be made in about eight weeks. |
