Caro hasn’t revealed anything new, but she has framed the issue correctly, Kelly has long had influence at the club.Craig Kelly, the kingmaker behind the scenes of the Pies drama
Craig Kelly’s kingmaking role in the unfolding fiasco at Collingwood remains one of the more intriguing elements of the multi-layered saga.www.theage.com.au
A few minutes of my life I'll never get back, I should have learned by now. The way Caroline Wilson reports on this drama makes it even more cringeworthy.
She does raise the valid point about the conflict of interest that Moore and Kelly have, but we all knew this.
Collingwood "news" sells the vomit fountain that is Wilson knows this. The extra clicks she got must have made her smile a little today.
While everyone has questioned if Browne is too close McGuire, Kelly has floated under the radar. With Eddie he had a good mate as a decision maker that he could lobby, and if Browne gets control he’ll again have a good mate as a decision maker. Kelly has been good at leveraging these relationships for the benefit of his clients.
I like Kelly, he’s a good egg, but anything he’s backing should be looked at closely and the question should be asked “is this best for the club or best for him and his clients “.
