Since the AFL Commission was formed in 1985, all of the AFL Chairmen/CEOs-from the late Jack Hamilton to Gil McLachlan- have a football background-either as a past player or club administrator- when they got the top job.
Seeing next year's could be McLachlan's last as the 'public face' of the AFL, should the AFL do something radical and get someone from a non-AFL background to head up the league for the next 10 years or more, rather than get someone like Richmond's Benny Gale or Geelong's Brian Cook?
