Will Andrew Dillon survive?

[Vindicater]

No.

Has been a failure.

 

[#cats2021]

You know he's bad when you look back at Gil and Demetriou fondly.

 

[Altum Volantes]

His currently legacy is Opening Round.

I reckon that, in it's current form anyway, will be history next year.

There is not one person in football or following football that could consider that to be a good idea - even with the Brisbane and Sydney CEOs now holding the reigns of the comp.

Problem is, do you really see him being replaced? He reports to Goyder who is possibly the only other person in football who is more useless than Dillon.

There is just such a spectacular leadership problem in the AFL.

I don't see him being replaced while Richard the useless is chairman, because it would be admitting he made the mistake of hiring him. Unless of course Richard needs to save himself by throwing Dillon under the bus, then he'd do that without a second thought. Remember to on Richard Goyder, it was his funny little hatred for Gale as to why he was never truly in the running.

I think regardless they need to look external for the next appointment, I don't think Harley is ready at the moment, they need someone a bit more high profile and authoritative to right the ship for a bit.

I think only now are we realising how good we had it with Gillon. He made mistakes too and seemed too eager to keep the AFL in the headlines but was a really good media performer and was someone who you felt had control. When he was in charge he gave the game a lot of growth.

Dillon just looks incompetent. Agree that he might be a handy 2IC, but a CEO he ain't. And that's saying nothing about Laura Kane.

I think Swann is the best fit if they axe Dillon.

This is what happens when you hand Vicco's the reigns.

Demetriou, terrible
Dillon, Terrible

Jackson, great
Mclaughlin, ok

 

[Daka]

The league is in trouble if he stays. The "House of Demetriou" is a pestilent curse.

I don't see how he wouldn't stay? I don't see him standing down?
his performance has been poor but theirs nothing fans can do about it unfortunately.

Gillon was the best ceo in my opinion, the only major stuff up's I think he made were expanding the AFLW too fast and dropping the ball in western sydney, both towards the end of his tenure. He did a lot more good than bad overall.

 

[Freomaniac]

Well my mate saw him at the Adelaide casino tonight before the Port vs Gold coast game

Did he say he seemed like a good bloke?

Another Knock on Gillon McLachlan though is he allowed a lot of shit rules to come into the game on his watch.

"The Stand Rule"

I know Steve Hocking was in-charge of that area but still... he could have pulled back on that.
I can not stand being not able to much side to side and jump in the air when a forward is having a set-shot it's so dumb.

 

[footy75]

Gone too hard to make a quick buck and not enough care in the state of the game. But I guess with record attendences and TV raings, here probably sees himself as the GOAT of AFL CEO's. The sport could be doing so much better, but there is way too many administration clangers.

Hasn´t the AFL ****ed tv ratings this season????

 

[Seeds]

No.

Has been a failure.

How? Compared to all the others.

Blues, bombers, eagles and tigers all crap. Thats not dillons fault.

 

[footy75]

Blues, bombers, eagles and tigers all crap. Thats not dillons fault.

Good point.

But who´s fault is it not showing certain games etc free to air? (genuine question)

 

[Seeds]

You know he's bad when you look back at Gil and Demetriou fondly.

Yeah cos their handling of the bombers drugs debacle was not an absolute disaster at all

 

[Osho]

He looks cookie cut to me. Met hundreds of folk like he. They come from a factory.

 

[Oscarman]

Replace him with Triple H.

 

[Chronz]

You could pick bigfooty users out of a hat, they'd do a better job than DILLon.

 

[Elixuh]

I didn’t realise he was unwell. I wish him well.

 

[TigerRoar]

Another CFL appointed corporate lackey. Jobs for the boys, but has no idea what he is doing.

Good, hope my name comes out, would enjoy the great challenge of fixing the issues in this competition.

Thing, is a lot of them are pretty straightforward too.

 

[MelbourneGWS]

I think you have it spot on. Great 2IC. Not a leader.

There must have been reservations in the AFL Commission too, given how long it took to appoint him and keeping Gill on for longer than expected as CEO.

 

[Thrawn]

Don't put a demon in charge of things, I'll go to AFL House to look at the artwork in the lobby and have everything fixed.

 

[Gavin Excell]

Who came up with the idea of opening round (0). Surely not Dillon?

It's his baby

Opening Round is a collosal own goal
It creates a mess for the fixture with teams having byes round 2
A complete abomination that nobody wants
