Caroline Wilson is expecting Jeff Browne to launch a challenge to become Collingwood president within weeks.
Despite only being appointed less than a month ago as Eddie McGuire’s replacement, current president Mark Korda looks set to come under increasing pressure to retain his position.
Wilson reported in
The Age on Saturday that Korda could be forced to “step aside” for Browne’s board ticket, or take him on at an extraordinary general meeting.
She said that Browne, who has significant support, was a “strong favourite” win the presidency despite McGuire’s replacement being in the role for such a short period.

Dear Eddie,
You came to Collingwood when the club was on its knees – just ten years after their historical drought-breaking 1990 flag, the club was now a wooden spooner, struggling financially, and rudderless.
You poached premiership coach Mick Malthouse from his West Coast contract, and rebuilt Collingwood into an off-field powerhouse. Share
You had to oversee the heartbreak of the 2002–03 grand final losses but, amazingly, after just two years out of the finals, the club was already trending back upwards. Despite losing a swath of experienced champions over 2007–09, Collingwood made the preliminary final in 2009, and won the flag in 2010.

CARMEL, Ind. As central Indiana prepares for a massive month of college basketball, the NCAA and local organizers are recognizing Final Four Frontline Heroes.
They are people who quietly make sacrifices to help others through the pandemic. A Fishers man nominated a whole team of heroes.
Fifty weeks ago, COVID-19 was killing 53-year-old Mike Kueper.
A great number of contributors for the new building are residents of Wadena County.
The Wadena State Bank and the Jack and Alvida Browne Foundation committed multi-year pledges for $150,000 and $50,000 respectively.
Executive vice president of Wadena State bank, Jeff Browne, said he worked with his brother Kip and mother Alvida to get these funds committed because it was clear that the project was going to be a major asset to the community and region. We need to participate in this, Browne said. It s an investment in our community, it s another asset we can be proud of.
Jeff, Kip, and their parents Jack (deceased) and Alvida have all been dog lovers, so the idea to invest in a project focused on those animals came natural. Jeff looks forward to the group taking this project to the next level.

KENNEBUNK U.S. Navy veteran Jeff Browne stood, like the others, in the bitter 10-degree cold and waited for the convoy escorting a Wreaths Across America 18-wheeler down Route 1.
“I wouldn’t miss it,” said Browne. “Especially this year. It’s something positive and it is moving; it’s a great part of being in a small town.”
