Andrew Dillion the new AFL CEO
- Thread starter tigerman
- Start date
Channel 7 reported that Gale will be offered Scott’s old job at AFL headquarters.
That’s the AFL a throwing him a bone to shut everyone up.
I hope Benny tells them where they can shove it.

Speaks well and I can't see any ego on this bloke.....+ he's a Tiger fan like us.
About bloody time there was a Richmond man at AFL HQ. He just mentioned on AFL 360 he’s a Richmond supporter and a big fan of Benny.
What qualifications do you need for that job?
Cant be much when palookas like sHocking and bScott get the job and leave their imprimatur on the game.
Otherwise known as “death by a thousand cuts” they managed to *smile* our game with less than 6.
I hope Benny tells that to go *smile* themselves with half a dozen of Gills polo sticks, mallet end first.
Hope he refuses and stays at the Tigers.Chasing BG for the 2ic role.
It should be beyond belief that Lethlean could say such things, the things he actually said, but unfortunately it is not.
Bit nervous, not as polished a communicator as Gerry Gee, but at least he provided some direct answers to a few questions eg GF to stay at 2.30PM (good), stadium in Hobart needs a roof, etc
Probably first time on live TV is understandable, especially confronting Blobbo....geez imagine that face in your face. We heard bit of spin but just hope his ego stays well in control over the years.
Oooh. From Gilligan to Dilligan. Is that like changing your pair of navy blue socks for a pair of black ones coz it's the weekend and you like to get a bit radical and you wanna cut loose when the work's been done?
Plenty of Tiger connections through Xavier. gone are the days when St Ignatius was the tiger land nursery.

Imagine having a CV like Gale's and then being offered an administrative job that was previously held by Brad Scott. FMD.
FFS, there were rumours that James Bartel was going to be offered the role. Now I know that James was a great player, but his most famous post playing achievement is being the ex-husband of coke snorting wannabe celebrity Nadia.
Gale should show up to the interview smoking a winnie blue in his bath robe, slippers and shower cap, squat on Dillons desk and drop a number 2 Amanda Heard style, and walk out.
There are only ever going to be two types of person hired as AFL CEO:
1. People already inside the tent.
2. People working at television networks / media companies.
You either need to be a member of the boys club or be someone who cuts the boys club's cheques.

Fat lot of good he's done in his previous job.
Meanwhile we all fall over in shock that the AFL does a worldwide search for a new CEO and the best they could find was right under their noses, in the next office even. Haven't we now gone Demetriou to Gill to Dill? This mob have been running the show for decades, and what do we see? The most popular sport in Australia and the AFL is loathed.
