Mr Deals never answers anything definitively.
Will wait & see on this one. All politicians start off with good intentions & slogans before the factions exert their influence.

Nah the reports weren't correct.
The AFL will be going hard at Benny to take Dillons previous role as GM of football Operations, not Scott's who will report to this role.
But with a broader and higher paid scope to include setting up the Tasmanian side.
Unfortunately for us he is odds on to take it ILO.
The Tassie set up would be the one that seals the deal. He was a big driver of it and if given the keys to keep driving this he will take it.
I suspect big off field changes occurring at the end of the year.
Must have been something like this.
Gill - Ok guys, we want to hire you to do an executive search
Recruiting team - Ok, great, we have heaps of experience here, we have plenty of candidates that....
Gill - Hang on there, hold your horses I hadn't finished. We want you to do an executive search "nudging and winking at Dillons office", and we'll pay you $1m to do a couple of sham interviews. Take a bit of time to make it seem like you've done something and then give it to Dillon
Recruiting team - But we are happy to review plenty of candidates that we have access to
Gill - You heard what I said, bank the $1m, do nothing and everything is good
200%.
I give a stuiff because nothing is gonna change.
do you think we'll get looked after more? lololololololololololololololololol, knowing our luck, he'll be one of those types that would go harder on us so it doesn't look like we are being favoured.
Massive changes at Punt Road already.
President
3 assistant coaches (all quality)
Imagine how unsettling it would be to add the CEO and senior coach to that list.

If gale gets a role that can get rid of the stand rule, work out a way to communicate and engage with all fans and find a more transparent way for umpire performance to be communicated and improved while maintaining respect then I’m all for it. (And work out tassie)
A dangerous vacuum is looming especially with the senior citizens having to say sayonara as well. I fear another trip into the abyss. Low ladder finish but no early picks. I think that along with some bad luck we have pineappled ourselves.
Interesting time for our club I feel.
let’s hope John O’Rourke is made of stern stuff.
sometimes clubs zig when you should zag.
punt road refurbishment in this environment seems an interesting process.
CEO possible out.
coach possible out.
generational change in the playing group.
a new franchise that will be the focus for the next 5 years.

Really disappointing appointment.
23 years at the AFL, boys club, old xavs, blah blah blah.
The game has never been less watchable, and if the number of kids around my area playing soccer and basketball instead of AFL is any indication, then the future is bleak.
I said things couldn't get worse when Demetriou left. I was wrong.

Do you reckon they’re not invested enough or just time for more change? That’s what I wonder anywayNo time like the present.
From the best airline to the worse under his watch.I don't know why the AFL rushed things, they only had to wait another day and they could've snapped up Alan Joyce
But he was pulling in the mega bucks.
The Xavier network
From grand final players to off-field powerbrokers, Xavier has the lot when it comes to AFL.amp.theage.com.au
Great article. Caroline did her homework, more so then imo.
As for yesterdays decision we all know it stinks.
While he looks like he is capable enough
Dillon has nothing like the credentials of Brendon. And his chairman going on about how he was clearly the best available candidate, this after he spent weeks trying to have another candidate elected, and then appointed Gill to continue in tandem for another 6 months!
The place really needs a good turning over. Won’t happen unfortunately.
Talk of the Tigers in the same terms now.
Think it is time for the change of our coach.
We need to rejuvenate after 15+ years, but very much hope Brendon stays. No one’s fault but the place needs some new ideas and new energy.
BTW - If you didn't know Goyder (or however you spell it) is also Chairman of Qantas.
And guess what, they just paid for a global search to replace Alan Joyce as Qantas CEO, only to find the best candidate was in the office next door.
Surely that's just a coincidence.

Is that one of the AFL roles guys take for a couple of years, make changes then return to their home club to reap the rewards?
Sounds good if so.
Absolutely likely to take it. Done everything there is to do at Tigerland & he'll have that gig until he retires.
Gill is the high priest of negotiated outcomes. Extended his tenure to allow Dill the time needed to tick off some core competencies required for the job . Brilliant.
