Collingwood’s entire board faces obliteration after papers were served on the club to force a spill of all seven director positions.
About 12,000 Magpies members will now be given the chance to decide who leads the club in a full-blown board election - eight months after Eddie McGuire’s shock resignation.
Former Collingwood solicitor Francis Galbally served a spill petition on the club on Thursday afternoon, describing the state of the club’s governance as a “corporate catastrophe”.
Galbally personally presented the papers at the club’s Holden Centre headquarters.

Nothing really.
This is an issue upstairs.

Don't confuse your current path with your final destination. Just because it's dark and stormy now doesn't meant that you aren't headed for glorious sunshine!

Galbally is acting for them after Turtle walked away.
Honestly I think the board needs an enema, but I'm also happy with their recent actions and appointments. I hope we get an amicable outcome with at least some of the existing board staying if for no other reason than continuance of intellectual property.
Licca and Holgate should be right, hopefully Murphy and Sizer stay too. The Bulldogs biatch has gone already and Wilson can piss off too.
Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.
Corporate catastrophe
Very apt.
Sums up the problem we had with Ed.
How's the social club......sorry corporate centre.
Don't think a member has been in there for years.
^^^ Seriously mystified by the number of supporters willing to cut their noses of to spite their faces in relation to O'Donnell. We're a club that has been seriously tested through injury, both the sheer quantum and the level of recidivism over something like a decade, and when we finally get someone onto the board who brings a sports science expertise with her people can't get past an old photo of her wearing a Doggies jumper. Very sad.
And that's without even considering her current role within Government and what an asset that could be to the board, or what role she might play in the establishment of the sports science facility at the Holden Centre.
