Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Breakfast with Gary and Tim. A sports news update for The Butcher Club. The Butcher Club for quality produce delivered with exceptional customer service. Simply not your average butcher shop.
Great to have you with us. SEN and Fox Footies. Sam Edmund joins us in the studio now and we've got a very busy hour. Nick Larkey to join us. Has the soothe picked up yet or is he still snoozing? Hopefully he's going to join us. Grant Thomas will pick up at 8.30. We'll have a chat with Tim, g'day, Field.
Hello to you, Gary, and hello to you, Tim. I can't see Tim, but I'm sure I'll be able to hear him. And I think I need to apologise. Is our dress code maybe not up to scratch on Sports Day these days?
You look reasonably sharp. Jetta just looked like he was still in radio mode, but that's okay. That might be the way he's going to roll.
All right. Craig Kelly is someone that you both know very well. The story from Caroline Wilson last night on the agenda set us. In fact, I won't explain it. I'll let Caroline explain it herself.
Craig Kelly, the Collingwood Premiership player and famous footy figure, is planning his departure, we are told, from the Collingwood Football Club in his fourth season to the club, at the club where he oversaw a premiership at the start of his reign.
My understanding is that Craig Kelly is looking at remaining in the club, potentially in a consultancy role, but already CEOs at other footy clubs and senior footy people are hearing this news today. And looking at the job at Collingwood, there is some internal candidates as well.
So that was on the agenda setters last night. This is his fourth year, Craig, after taking over from Mark Anderson, of course. But he is negotiating his exit from Collingwood. So Craig's on leave at the moment. He's overseas. My understanding is he'll return after the club's round 14 buy. So he misses Monday's big freeze, the King's birthday game at the G against Melbourne.
He's always been a guy, Gary, you might even attest to this, who has said this won't be forever. He tells people that. He won't be doing this for years and years. He won't be there in his mid-60s. And as far as the club is concerned, they're saying there is nothing formal in place at the moment in terms of replacements or succession plans.

Chapter 2: What updates are there on Craig Kelly's role at Collingwood?
He was planning his exit from the day he was appointed.
Yeah.
Yeah, he was. That's what he says to people.
No, no, I'm 100%. I'm telling you.
So I'm in, but I'm already thinking about getting out.
Yeah, he never looked upon it as a massive big career as the CEO of the Collingwood Footy Club. In fact, if I had to have a bet, I think his great wish would be to end up being president of the Collingwood Footy Club.

Chapter 3: What are the implications of Craig Kelly's potential departure?
Right, because he left a big career to get into the club.
I think he's worked hard throughout his whole life. He's in a position where he doesn't need to be bashing his head against the door like all CEOs at AFL clubs do. And I think he wants to live a bit of a life and enjoy it, as we all should, if you can.
He's been linked. Yeah, he's been linked. I hope the Digis are listening to that. That's a big bombshell that Craig Kelly wants to be the next president of the Collingwood football team. Well, he's been linked to the presidency before.
There's no secret about that, Whiskers. I'm telling you.
I've never heard that before. I never heard that was on his agenda.
The plan would be for him to exit his way out as a CEO, which is what we're talking about here, and then at some stage, because of his great love for the Collingwood Footy Club and because of the many things that he's put in place, I think he'd like to oversee it, and he'd like to oversee it from the president's position.
Yeah. Well, he's been linked to that presence.
Just my opinion?
Yep. Okay. Strong. Really strong. We'll see how that goes. It's a big position, isn't it? The CEO of the Collingwood Football Club. Yeah, that'll be sought after. One of the biggest in the competition, as would be the head coaching position of the Essendon Football Club. That is a big position to fill now.
