This one was pretty simple and not something to be that proud of: just charge members more after a flag.
Nothing to do with increasing the actual membership numbers of course.

Not really. Membership numbers were up by about 4%, attendances down by about 8%. Takings from those two things went up by over 15% - It was the higher prices - with a large increase in membership prices.

Would only need to buy a few blocks' worth of houses and displace a bunch of Yarra progressives. Perfect sense.
Easier than rebuilding the titanic.

Home game attendances are where we take in the money and those went up by a bit over 1%, with pre booked tickets in areas like the AFL Members increasing substantially. This would all account for a good part of the revenue increase.
 

Flagged this when he announced his departure from Freo. I'm not totally against Bell but he would want to stay in his lane re list management responsibilities a bit more than he did at the Dockers.

I also wonder how much of a personality clash there'd be between him, Kelly and Leppitsch who all have very alpha male styles. I personally think Charlie Gardiner is a happy medium between Bell and a Kelly yes man like Justin Reid.
 
I wonder if some candidates are turning down the opportunity because of the presence of craig kelly and the fact that they would have to answer to him.

Which candidates have turned down the opportunity?

Collingwood targeted Brisbane GM Danny Daly and Port Adelaide football boss Chris Davies, but both opted to remain at their current clubs instead of relocating to Melbourne. Adelaide list manager Justin Reid was also considered for the position.

If you're referring to those two, I'd say one who has just won a premiership, I wouldn't blame him for wanting to stay at the Lions & both preferring not to move to Melbourne has nothing to do with Kelly..

I mean not turning down publicly, more just not choosing to interview for the position.
You would think the general manager of collingwood would be a highly coveted position.

People settled in highly coveted positions at other clubs aren’t necessarily going to be throwing their hats in the ring just because there’s a vacancy at Collingwood FC.

but you cannot rule out kelly as being a factor as to why they turned down the opportunity to come to collingwood. I am not speaking in absolute terms , just wondering if the recent drama that has surrounded kelly has had an impact on potential candidates interest in the open gm position.

Said the same

We've just posted about 2 highly qualified & quality candidates in the running for the GM role..

So yeah, I would rule out Kelly as being a factor.
