Hearing Craig Kelly is up for this position.
Hope so. Great guy with huge connections in business.
 
I give Molly the benefit of doubt on this one. I think he was just having a laugh. But thanks for your support jmac. :)

I apologise profusely if I'm somehow mistaken and the name "TheGreatGrundy" is continually on the lips of that guy whose name you can't recall, or if highlighting that it isn't has in any way caused you distress.

No offense taken. If I am going to live by the sword, I need to be able to die by it too.
 
Seems like a slimy used car salesman?
What are you saying? Craig Kelly the ex Collingwood footballer is probably more successful than 99% of anyone to do with football ever.
Including Eddie McGuire.

And he is a lovely bloke

Glad to hear it, just telling you what my perception of him is. Recognise he’s successful. Would love for a successful good guy to join our club? I just don’t understand how you can know he’s a lovely bloke?

He's an old friend. Champion person. Extremely business savvy and great to listen too.
Michael Christian, Craig , Daics and I played pool often on weekends together.
He'd be my first choice at this stage. A really good family man with our club in his heart.

What will
Happen to his business ventures?
 
I can't say I'd be thrilled to have Craig Kelly be CEO while he still has a son at the club.

Also smacks of a boys club pick.

Either his son or Craig makes it at Collingwood..Do you think Gavin Brown will give up on us because his boys didn't make it.

Not a boys club pick. Craig Kelly has earned his successes

My point is it's a conflict of interest for him to be the CEO of Collingwood and having a son being on the list at the same time.

Conflicts of interest like this can be managed.What’s a bigger conflict of interest issue is the fact that as far as I’m aware he’s a still a player manager. That’s not so easy to manage.

Yep, impossible to have a player manager as CEO you’d think. Despite the multitude of conflicts in the past and present across the league.

Ricciuto, Brayshaw, Scott brothers, Hamish McGlaughlin, Tom Browne, Evans, Silvangi, Eddie, Bartlett, Dunstall, Brereton…

We’re the world leaders in that at least

Think he is a long way from player management these days. Don't know where this boneheaded rumour has come from, but I call it patent bulltish.

Would be very surprised if Kelly was even interested in a role like this.
 
It could be a concern, the conflict, But it could be worked around. Wright dealt with the same thing with Ned Reeves on the hawks list, with his father Justin CEO.

TLA boss, and former Collingwood great, Craig Kelly could loom large for the Magpies after 26 years helping lead the giant management company.

Kelly’s signature would be a huge coup for president Jeff Browne amid industry speculation the Magpies already have a quality candidate lined-up.

Kelly’s son, Will, is on Collingwood’s list but the Magpies could dodge any issues by leaving his contract matters to football boss Graham Wright.
Wright faced the same situation when he was at Hawthorn and signed Ned Reeves to the Hawks’ list where his father, Justin, is chief executive.
