Carlton Football Club President Collins became the President of the Carlton Football Club, following
John Elliott's departure on 13 November 2002. Collins in his tenure as President of Carlton, oversaw himself to work hard with the
board of the club to limit the damage to Carlton's profile, prestige and financial position during a rough time for the club, due to the effects and penalties of
the club's salary cap breaches and the poor on-field results for the club that followed on. Collins thereby served an unstable tenure as President of the club, because Carlton still struggled to maintain off-field stability with the club still remaining in seven million dollar club debt. On 13 April 2006, Collins announced he would step down as president of the Carlton Football Club due to ill health and by the pressures of juggling two demanding jobs between his time as Carlton Football Club President and his time as CEO of Docklands Stadium. He was replaced by
Graham Smorgon. == References ==
