Spot on!!! And anyone who thinks otherwise is delusional. The AFL Commission and Executive are whores beholden to the corporates. Revenue is first and foremost the driver for ALL that they do.

We all know that the AFL only does things for profit and brand protection.
I have said before i i will say it again. The players welfare in secondary to profit for the AFL.
They have measures in place for when players have drug and drink and mental health problems, but people are deluded if they think them measures are to take care of the players. Those measures are there first and foremost to protect the AFL brand.

In my opinion Fat Andy prime aim as CEO was to line his own pockets which he done very well
Nah, you just bought the spin.

Not really - Mclachlan's uncle Ian was president of SACA and the family contact was huge in getting the deal done
I just love how you respond without doing any research whatsoever . Well Done !!

The AFL have banned four people from the footy for 5 years for fighting, good. But last year three thugs beat up on an older man after a Richmond final. Apparently the thugs were sons of ‘prominent, important’ people? And we haven’t heard anything since. The AFL seems to me, a private school old boys clic? Their salaries are way over inflated, Mickey Mouse could probably run the greatest game in the world. It was here before they came, and will continue long after they’re gone because it’s a great people’s game.

I think we've seen enough from Gil, his lack of support for Adam Goodes, AFLX, the bunker, the au pair, his friendship with Peter Dutton, selling the soul of Australian Rules to advertisers and branding brainwashers.
Look at what happens when you create a team out of nothingness, Gold Coast- embarrasing, GWS- damaged the reputation of Grand Final day and have very few real supporters.

& his by-line will be the sleazy GF deal with the MCC.

I don’t understand what the big drama is with the grand final deal I know it sucks a bit for interstate clubs having to travel but the crowds are generally pretty neutral and unless the other states want to go and build 100k stadiums then it’s always going to be there I recon the the majority of players playing in gfinals want to play on the g
So 100k at the GF is the sole reason you can come up with. Merit is fine for the other finals, but the biggest game of all, both teams that get there earn it ... 25k join a bloody cricket club.
Pretty neutral, OK if you say so.
Of course players love playing at the G, all love playing at home.
As for the sleaze, the encumbents got together & came away with a deal that suited the status quo - why the close the door, great politics by the Vic Premier, he was the winner.
The Grand Final carnival including all the corporate marquees with the thousands upon thousands of corporates paying 4-10k per ticket to attend the GF is the sole reason the grand final is and always will be in melbourne.
You would never achieve the same patronage from corporate outside of melbourne, and the AFL would probably lose at least $50m if they moved it anywhere else. Just ain’t going to happen.

About the only good thing that's happened under his watch.
Xavier Campbell joining AFL executive going by todays reports.
Has been on a trajectory for the top job and i can see him replacing Gil one day.

Xavier Campbell would make a great CEO of the AFL and take our game forward.
why so?
Not Gil for one thing
Because he'll restore the competition back to its order by returning Essendon to its former powerhouse status.
Obvious reason is obvious.
Also, he did a pretty good job from an off-field perspective with Essendon after probably the worst period in any club's history so I think he can do a great job turning the AFL around. Xavier or Brendon Gale would be my pick.
Gale in Hockings job would be good.

Anyone else in Hocking’s job would be good. Hilarious joke aside. I agree with Gale for that position or AFL CEO.
