News Dr Bridie O'Donnell elected to the board

[Kappa]

Seriously? It's not as if she isn't qualified for a board appointment. She was selected from something like 80-90 applicants and if the scuttlebutt is correct was actually in line for the Wilson appointment until her employer delayed that potential, but lets go with the $15M justification. Oh, and it'd more likely be $30M as I'd assume the $15M from the feds would be linked to co-funding confirmation.

In the end, the cash isn't what we stand to lose. It's our credibility when the funds are withdrawn or the location of the sports science facility is changed.

how many of those 80 to 90 applicants were female? Because those were her only opposition… if you can’t see that now after the presidents comments that he STRONGLY wanted a female in this position, and now this story that we needed a female for extra funding then you are very very slow.

How many were better credentialed regardless of gender?

That's the point ffs, we'll never know because the board only seriously considered females for that position. How the **** do you STILL Not grasp this concept? Whilst other clubs appoint board members based on ability, we're stuck appointing based on quotas, which objectively leaves us with a weaker board.

Imagine if we were the only club in the AFL to have a gender quota on assistant coaches, do you think that would be beneficial for us?

 

[Leviathan Pie]

Bridie making up quota numbers to secure funding, such a shock...

What a self-loathing, woke-pushing society we have become.

Imagine if we were the only club in the AFL to have a gender quota on assistant coaches, do you think that would be beneficially for us right now?

LOL, you make a guess only females were her opposition based on limited information, assume your right, run off on ridiculous tangents, then question my comprehension?

you are the most clueless poster I have ever seen.

tell me which part about the president saying he wanted the position to go to a female only, and 15 million dollars going to the club if we selected a female, can your brain not comprehend? Genuine question, which part are you struggling with?

 

[Scodog10]

It leaves a bad taste in my mouth that we might have overlooked the perfect candidate because of their genitals, but that’s unfortunately the world we now live in. Like the Super Netball franchise there’s always an ulterior motive and I support the boards decision, but **** the government…

Dr Bridie O’Donnell appointed to board of directors

Collingwood is pleased to announce the appointment of Dr Bridie O’Donnell to the club’s board of directors

www.collingwoodfc.com.au

In the interests of good governance the nominations committee, with the assistance of an executive search firm, considered an initial list of 90 potential candidates from which seven were shortlisted. It was from this process, which required approximately eight weeks to complete, that O’Donnell and the recently appointed Neil Wilson emerged.

If that also helps secure $15M in state government funding and lock in $15M of federal government funding then all the better.

Wasn't aware Wilson was female.

Ah, so you expected the club to publicly state "we didn't seriously consider male candidates because we needed a female candidate to fulfil a quota"... THAT'S your evidence? The club saying "we strongly wanted a female candidate but we considered all candidates" means, for those who are slow or young, that they were only ever going to pick a female candidate. Having to explain this to you feels like primary school for some reason. Just stop posting and think for yourself for one second.

Any person considered, still had to meet the minimum requirements & be a ‘stand out’ candidate.
If both males & females were short listed, came down to line ball, then the “strongly wanted female” would push her over the line.
There is always some factor that pushes one candidate past another in a close race.

LOL, I strongly wanted a date with Kate Beckinsale, hasn't happened yet.

You can't seem to grasp that wanting or preferring something doesn't preclude other options. I'm very happy with the appointment of O'Donnell. I think she is very well credentialed for the role and brings a much needed sports science expertise to the board, so I'm not look at grassy knolls to justify anything.

Enjoy your conspiracy theories.

So you genuinely believe that the club would've forgone quotas and missed out on 15million+ funding, ignored the president STRONGLY wanting a female candidate and picked a male one if he was slightly better?

The information contained in the article today is not necessarily brand spanking new information.

This has been known for a while.

Nice confession. I'm glad you've finally come to accept and acknowledge the standard of you posting. It's the first step toward getting better.

Yep.. getting all emotional just thinking about it now re.. agh the good ol' days man.. the good ol' days. It is what it is re.. it is what it is.

 

[The Royal Sampler]

Minimum three female board reps is a must. Both Korda and Browne recognise this.

Well in fairness $15 million will help hone your recognition skills.

I'm glad I've realized you have never ever worked in a corporate environment, and are likely still in school...

I don’t know, you’re telling the story.
I wasn’t involved in the selection process.

I asked what you believe, you don't need to be involved in the process to have that.

 

[whiskeytown]

Unless you were a qualified & experienced female.

Lots of woke minorities and other disadvantaged people have struggled. A quota for each of them the answer? Pretty quickly a race to the bottom of the barrel when ability comes second to identity.

Equal opportunity should be mechanism to greater social equality, not ideologically forced outcomes.

To this end tell me a position that women are not allowed to apply for on the basis of their gender..?

And as a side note, ever notice how it’s university educated women campaigning for quotas... for jobs that are largely exclusive to university educated women like corporate boards, parliament, media etc?
Seems rather middle class based

 

[MyManLynch]

I believe that none of us (including you) have no idea how it actually played out.
