AFL appoints US company to find footy’s next boss

Once worked for a large, listed organisation that employed the services of a similar company to find their next CEO. After a long and exhaustive international search they recommended the current CFO who sat one desk away from CEO and had been groomed to take that role for a number of years.

What are the chances the AFL’s chosen head hunter comes to a similar conclusion?

Pretty much spot on. The executive head hunter looks for candidates with the skills and experience that you require. But it's you that decides what those skills and experience are, not the head hunter. Pretty easy to steer it towards your chosen man.

I hear that, not an unusual story, and there is a fair chance that will happen. The AFL has to change its ways or it continue to go steadily downhill and lose legitimacy. If the clubs are pushing for genuine change, we know Peggy is, and the headhunting move suggests they are, I can't see them accepting your scenario. But this is the AFL we're talking about, their opacity, malaise and nepotism knows no bounds so Auld wouldn't surprise me one bit. Could go either way.

Demetrious Players Association early 2000s to AFL CEO, McLachlan appointed about the same time as AD rises up to deputy, gets top job 2014. So objectively we have had insiders for 22 years. That would be seen to stink in any other industry. Its just bad governance. Its amazing, but not unexpected, they are even suggesting yet another insider is in the frame, and its also amazing, but not unexpected, that the media isn't putting the blowtorch on them about that.

SEN are saying that the AFL have approached Josh Frydenberg to replace Gilligan.

Frydenberg would take the AFL's spin to a new level.

AFL shows interest in former federal treasurer

He has refused to shut the door on running for the position.

I read the 1st line and thought this was a joke so was redying the laughing emoji, then I saw you had an SEN link.

What depths of the sewer the AFL are dredging to find their next CEO.

V'Landys would be rubbing his palms together if that incompetent *smile* got it. The AFL would be bankrupt within a decade.

I'm pushing for Swooper Northey to get the gig. He has managed a pub down Deranallum way and guaranteed to do a better job than current Muppets. Billy Nicholls in charge of match review and umpires

Maybe this is a distraction headline to make us all feel better when Travis Auld is appointed.

Maybe Dan Andrews should apply.
I hear he’ll be looking for a job soon
