Watson: “The whole Brendon Gale situation is really fascinating too because I keep hearing that there has been a strong push from club CEOs for him to be the successor, but apparently it isn’t the direction the AFL Commission wants to go in.”

Lyon: “Why?”

Watson: “I haven’t been able to get to the bottom of that. Maybe they don’t feel that he’s had the all-round commercial experience to deal with the broadcast rights and those huge issues the AFL is confronted with. In answer to that you’d say the deal has been put away for such a long time now that you don’t need to worry about that and the person in that role could learn what they need to learn in that next period of time.”

According to Tom Browne on 7news:

* Clubs have been made aware that Andrew Dillon will take over from Gil when the latter eventually steps down.

* Other candidates such as Benny Gale have been informed they can apply to be 2IC to Dillon. They can then go for the top job in the future from inside AFL HQ. The AFL is keen to appoint people from within HQ.

I think we all know that he was never a chance to begin with. The whole process was a stage show. Clearly the boys club AFL are showing their true colours.

The AFL Commission met on Wednesday [last] week, where the final stages of the new CEO search were thrashed out. It had already been decided that interviews would be conducted with remaining candidates as soon as Thursday this week. Of the AFL headquarters applicants, Kylie Rogers, Travis Auld and Andrew Dillon will all be given chances to sell themselves for the main job. Externally, the CEOs at Richmond and GWS – Brendon Gale and Dave Matthews – are said to remain in the mix. In the eyes of many senior people across the AFL industry, Dillon is cited as favourite.

How does the AFL pick their own to continue their woke addenda and not concentrate on being administrators of Australian rules football, an abuse of power by a dictatorship

There's a twist in Gillon McLachlan’s tenure as AFL CEO. Chief Football Reporter @TomBrowne7 has the details, where there’s an understanding McLachlan could extend his departure date again.

AFL CEO search to move a step closer to completion

Peter Ryan
The Age
March 7, 2023


The long-running search for a new AFL chief executive will take another step forward when candidates are interviewed for the game’s top job next week, as clubs prepare for the first round of the season.

According to industry sources, internal AFL candidates Andrew Dillon, Travis Auld and Richmond CEO Brendon Gale remain in a process that has dragged on since the incumbent Gillon McLachlan announced in April last year he would leave the job he has held since 2014.

It is unclear whether a left-field candidate remains in the race alongside that trio, who have been considered candidates since April. Sydney Swans CEO Tom Harley and Giants CEO Dave Matthews have also been interviewed. The AFL confirmed on Monday that further interviews would take place next week.

The league has continued to extend the tenure of McLachlan, who was originally slated to finish up at the end of 2022 before AFL chairman Richard Goyder confirmed the CEO would remain in the job until at least the end of April when Gather Round is held in Adelaide.

Goyder wrote a letter to clubs indicating an appointment would be made in the early stages of 2023 but that McLachlan needed to remain in the role while several big-ticket items remained on the agenda, including finalising a position on a 19th license for Tasmania, the player CBA and the AFL’s response to the Hawthorn racism allegations.

The AFL seems no closer to resolving these issues with the Tasmanian licence contingent on federal funding for a new stadium to be built in Hobart. Whether that funding is granted may have to wait until the May budget, while discussions on the CBA are ongoing.

The independent investigation into the Hawthorn racism allegations is taking time with former Hawthorn officials Alastair Clarkson, Chris Fagan and Jason Burt yet to make their submissions to the investigation. Sources close to the investigation have been frustrated at the slow rate of progress given the stress it has created for everyone involved.

The AFL has remained tight-lipped about the candidates, but is certain to face questions about the process when club CEOs and presidents gather for their annual pre-season catch-up this week.

Several club leaders have expressed their surprise at the time taken to replace McLachlan, with Collingwood president Jeff Browne saying last year he felt it was inappropriate for McLachlan and the AFL Commission to make crucial decisions on the game’s future when his departure was imminent and the Commission had two seats vacant.

According to Tom Browne:

Still six in the running for the AFL CEO gig.

They've started the third rounds of interviews and Benny Gale has got his today.
