Next AFL CEO - jungle drums for Gil?

[MightyHawks]

Been plenty of rumours that Gil needs to be moved on

Maybe time for a Female C.E.O? Wonder how that would change the playing field with AFLW and all.

If its a female. I hope Jane Bunn gets the job. I will have no hope in paying any attention to what she is saying. But it would be great viewing.

Caro is easily the most connected journo to AFL House.

$$$$$$ ?

Yes let's decide who's running a major company based on gender.

What an absolute clueless muppet you are, not to mention sexist.

It shouldn't be chosen on gender but ability.
If the best person for the job is a women then they should get it.
If the best person for the job is a man they should get it.
100% it shouldn't be chosen on gender

 

[PT Bar None]

Given the way they've historically rolled, Steve Hocking is probably the front runner

 

[Ned_Flanders]

In all seriousness, surely the front runner is Brian Cook?

I thought he would have got it last time, does he want the gig?

I get Gale losing out to Gilligan because of his relative inexperience at the time (and Gilligan was the AFL inside man), but Cook had an unrivalled resume.

Only way I saw him losing is if (1) he didn't want it, (2) AFL didn't want him because he isn't a docile puppy like Gilligan, or (3) the AFL only ever wanted to give the gig to one of their own.

personally I think its (3), and Hocking will be the next one given his love for ******* the game up with stupid rules, and he will probably continue the farce that is AFLX

Oh Caro talking up a Richmond person, surprise, surprise. When Gil does eventually go I hope they go outside the code and, you know, find the best person for the job.

Who’s to say the best person for the job won’t come from inside the game?

God I hope not. It will turn to netball

 

[StCicatriz]

Or maybe some clubs actually chose wisely when they had the #1 pick

Lol pick 1 defines a clubs ability to make finals and win a flag does it?

 

[Dixie Normous]

Thread title is a bit racist ain't it?

 

[Freomaniac]

LOL at the lot of you. You might excited that Gil might be gone. Another Corrupt bastard will take his spot.

Andrew Demitriou was a Pro Victorian as they come. At one point, Stephen Trigg was next in line until the Kurt Tippett Saga left his reputation in tatters.

You might as well Hire Don King, Sepp Blatter or Shang Tsung. All 3 fit the bill. All will be corrupt, All will take the money.

All will suck the soul out of the League and In Shang Tsungs case, Literally.

 

[gingernuts]

Well to be the CEO of the AFL you need the right credentials, you have to be shifty, corrupt , and have the ability to become the invisible man when it suits. Obviously another key criteria is that you have to be inventive when it comes to fooking the game for the fans who are the custodians of the AFL. (i.e. rule changes and Umpiring).
Having said this lets go and get David Gallop from FFA or Brian Waldron because they fit the bill.
McLachlan out!!!

If it is then great, but there's a big world out there outside of the AFL bubble and the CEO's package would be good enough to attract interest from the very best. I think (although stand to be corrected) that the last CEO appointed from outside of the AFL industry was Oakley and while his leadership style didn't endear him to a lot of people it could be argued that the changes he made set the AFL up to allow it to be in the strong financial position that it is today.

Brian Cook

He can start monday

 

[smasha]

AFL run by the Geelong mafia so Hocking will be next in line.

I'd take Gale or Cook over Hocking.

 

[1970crow]

Is this the start of the end for Gil?

I’d love Brendon to stay at Richmond, but I think it is inevitable that we’ll lose him. If he doesn’t get the CEO role when Gil moves on I think he’ll look for a bigger/new challenge elsewhere.

Who else might next fill the role of AFL CEO?

Steven Trigg always had his eyes on a sweet AFL gig and he did only make just that one mistake.

Nah Don King. He is as corrupt as they come. He fits the requirements of an AFL CEO.

 

[bumsonseats]

I’ll give it a shot
Surely pays more than Newstart.
Do I have to get out of bed before lunchtime

Only if the au pair kicks you out

 

[BallaratBulldog]

Nicole Livingston, ticks all the boxes.

True, mishandling the aflw competition massively would fit in well with the micky mouse run AFL

 

[gingernuts]

I do believe that someone by the name of scomo might look at the position after Saturday. He is a nutter so he will be a shoe in and take charge of the umpiring department and just say the umpring is fine just like his budget

 

[Farang83150]

Makes FA difference who replaces the DH, the replacement will be just as bent as all those that came before him/her.
