Collingwood confirms a leadership change after Eddie Kelly states he will leave the top job at the end of next year. Multiple outlets report that Kerrie Brewer, an executive at the club, is promoted into a more senior role as part of the transition planning.
All three reports describe Brewer’s advancement as making her the club’s clear second-in-charge behind Kelly. They frame the move as an orderly succession arrangement rather than an immediate replacement, with Kelly remaining in his role until the end of the next year. The coverage focuses on the timing of Kelly’s departure and Brewer’s elevated position, without detailing further internal governance steps or alternative candidates.
While the accounts come from different Australian newsrooms, they align on the core facts: Kelly publicly confirms he will vacate the top role next year, and Brewer is elevated to a leading second role, positioning her to assume greater responsibilities when the transition occurs.
