Korda interviewed on SEN this morning. “I know she has been a long-time supporter. I have seen the images of her with the Footscray AFLW jumper on but she has been a long-time supporter of particularly AFLW and has supported Collingwood for a long time.

“We have brought Bridie on because of her excellent credentials in women’s sport … and a supporter of Collingwood.”

When asked about a potential challenge, Korda did say that the board were elected by the members…..hmmmm, I can’t remember the last time we had a chance to actually vote for any vacant board positions.

Apparently the club constitution requires a board member to have been a member for at least 2 years unless they are elected by the members.
I fine it hard to believe she has been a member for that time...

Apparently she is a Collingwood supporter? Who cares though, if she’s right for the job and does it well she can support Carlton for all I care.
The match day thread is for unfiltered BS knee jerk reactions. The time for level headed comment comes after.

She said on 3AW, she’s been a member since February 2020 (15 months ago).

The provisions in the Constitution you speak of can be found in paragraphs 30(a)-(b).

Bob Hawke was Sydney. However Senator Ray Richardson (I stand corrected on the name) was a devout ‘pies man.

I'm sure I remember a photo of Gough Whitlam (the most unlikely football fan in Australia's history) wearing a Collingwood jumper.

Eligibility issues are now being raised as I suspected it would.

Man, the haters are out early on this one. She can't just appoint herself in some form of ego trip as some people seem to be implying. The majority of the Board needs to agree and they obviously have.

I know next-to-nothing about her, but to suggest this is all a big conspiracy theory to keep the current board in place is ridiculous - she's from way outside the usual gene-pool we generally see.

Mind you, it appears WHOEVER was appointed (or even stuck their hand up) would be pilloried at the moment.
