This ongoing delay in naming a successor isn’t exactly a glowing endorsement for the 3 short listed candidates
Who are the shortlisted - Found this posted last month ----
"AFL executives Andrew Dillon and Travis Auld, as well as Richmond chief executive Brendon Gale, are widely seen as the front-runners for the role."
Is it correct.

I think it says more about the fight between the groups pushing these candidates.

AFL wont push forward unless the clubs agree to the AFL's preferred candidate(s), but the clubs are holding firm.

They're basically playing CEO chicken.

Why do you care?
Is it finally over?

AFL CEO set to be announced

The AFL is set to name Andrew Dillon as it's new CEO by the end of next week. Dillon, currently the AFL's Executive General Manager of Football Operations, Legal Integrity and General Counsel has won the role Fox Sports has learned despite a late push from AFL Chairman Richard Goyder for Western Bulldogs President Kylie Watson-Wheeler.

A source close to the AFL Commission has suggested they were split 4-3 and pressuring from several AFL Club Presidents for Dillon has been enough to sway Goyder.

It has also been strongly suggested that current Richmond CEO Brendon Gale, who was a strong candidate for the vacant AFL CEO role, will be now earmarked to take over Dillon's role of Football Operations supremo.

In other AFL administrative moves, one-time AFL CEO candidate Travis Auld, currently AFL CFO and GM Broadcasting and Clubs is set to be appointed the new CEO of the Australian Grand Prix Corporation and AFL GM of Operations David Stevenson will be appointed the new CEO of the National Basketball League.

Reports are saying Andrew Dillon has been appointed and it will be announced shortly = what a waste of time and money he could easily been appointed a year ago and just take over when Gill finally left!
He has VERY big shoes to fill so lets hope he is up to it.
