When Collingwood did a review 5 or so years ago, the number one recommendation was apparently “new President “. Binned.It's been 22 years for Eddie, when is he going to bugger off?

im underwhelmed, but is what it is.
The original talk was get someone in before the China game, get them to experience that and then KT leaves some time after that in late June. Covid drove the change in that time frame. All clubs had to spend 2-3 months working out how the **** they would survive once the covid restrictions were imposed by governments across Oz.I've had about 4 months to get used to it. If it wasn't an internal appointment they would have had the new guy in alongside KT as was originally talked about. COVID probably put an end to that plan.
Bob McLean wasn't available.im underwhelmed, but is what it is.
Richo and Summerton were the leaders of the "Port Power arent the real Port and they stole the magpies history" brigadeI remember Richo was a real pain in the arse when he was CE of the Magpies pre-One Club days and he was claiming the history for the then Ethelton MagpiesHe was forever pissing off the Power chiefs (and more than a few supporters as I recall).
I have no issues with that. He was just doing his job at the time. How else could he make the PAMFC relevant? If anything, it works to his advantage.Richo and Summerton were the leaders of the "Port Power arent the real Port and they stole the magpies history" brigade

I think there's more than a bit of inner mongrel in Richo that he has kept restrained in his current role.

22 Years and one flag is abject failure at a club with as many advantages as Collingwood.When Collingwood did a review 5 or so years ago, the number one recommendation was apparently “new President “. Binned.
In 2005-06 the Power board and management, under pressure from both SANFL and AFL to become more profitable, were looking at changing our name to Southern Power, pushing the teal for the kids angle, and killing off the Magpies. They might not have progressed a long way down that road, but they had started the journey.Richo and Summerton were the leaders of the "Port Power arent the real Port and they stole the magpies history" brigade

They might not have progressed a long way down that road, but they had started the journey.
Nearly all of the board who started in 1995 and 1996 had finished up by 2005.
Richo's call out in 2006 was a shot across the bow to wake them up and stop doing it.
It worked, it fired up the base of Port supporters who knew who the real Port was and it help start the push to the OneClub merger. Boulton was the last 1995/96 board member and he handed over to Duncanson at the end of 2008.
Summerton's call in 2013 was an emotional plea as he knew his team mates were going and potentially even him were going to be axed and local Port district players were not going to get the chance to play for Port Adelaide in the SANFL. Did I like his rantings at the time? No. Did I understand where he was coming from? Yes - absolutely.
Nor Bruce Weber to supplant Kochie.Bob McLean wasn't available.

Should’ve been ruled out for precisely that reason, but then Steven Summerton ascended to deity status despite his embarrassing social media outburst around the time of the reserves alignment, so hey.
Maybe Leigh Whicker could make a run at the Prez’s position when the incumbent takes over from Ray at the Midday Show?![]()
