ESSENDON great Tim Watson has revealed what was on the agenda at Collingwood’s board meeting on Tuesday night.

Vision filmed by Channel 7 through the Holden Centre windows exposed a variety of objectives the Magpies are seeking to address via the whiteboard in the room.

Watson discussed the various discussion topics on SEN radio.

They were:

Finals Week 1

— A restructure of the list management division

— Providing a mentor for the senior coach

— Improving specific areas of Collingwood’s game, including kicking skills, goal kicking, tackling and ruck work

— More input from the club’s leadership group in list management and recruiting

— Formal education for player leadership

— Review and repair Total Player Payments (TPP) model over the next 12 months

— Greater transparency in future staff appointments

— A more visible head of football, and

— A staff survey wanted more opportunities for player/coach feedback and greater evidence for living the club’s values

“What they did yesterday is they went through a little bit of a rehearsal for their actual board meeting,” Watson said.

“It was up on the whiteboard and obviously the media was outside. Obviously you could see through the window there, so if you were cheeky enough you might have been able to film it and see part of what the presentation was all about.”

The recommendations on the whiteboard were almost certainly from Collingwood football boss Geoff Walsh, who was charged with delivering preliminary findings to Eddie McGuire and co on Tuesday.

McGuire himself was steadfast on the prospects of Nathan Buckley continuing as senior coach, reaffirming that a decision would be made after this Saturday’s Round 23 game against Melbourne.

“He is coach until the end of the season and that’s what his contract says,” McGuire said after the two-and-a-half hour meeting.

“We are pretty firm on that at Collingwood. And that contract ends at the end of the season ... (It’s) not too far away.”
