Gill’s legacy

Unlike Gill to have a crisis of conscience.
Where was he when persons unknown derailed Dusty's comeback by finding sensationalist video evidence of something meaningless and trivial and released it the day before his comeback in a final? The timing of that one was impeccable. So was the timing of the convenient forgetfulness 5 minutes after Richmond lost a final.

What ever happened to that Dusty hoo hah? Don’t tell me it’s forgotten and society just moved on to the next drama?! No way….
It’s odd timing, did he say this last night? When Cripps won the Brownlow.
Todays Herald Hun is saying that...................."in this week’s AFL Record McLachlan teed off at the decision to overturn Cripps’ suspension."
I'm not sure whether it's the most recent AFL record, or the GF edition.
Either edition, he probably already knew the result and was just getting on the front foot
I guess it has.
That timing was impeccable. I doubt that Robbo and the Herald-Sun boys were smart enough to think up and carry out that plan. Robbo is more Baldrick than Blackadder.
It was reported that he said it in an interview last month, but that the comments won't appear in full until the upcoming issue of the Record.
McLachlan works for the AFL Executive. What do they care about? Growing the game and making money. With the broadcast deal and AFLW, it's hard to say he hasn't fulfilled his role with aplomb. I certainly think he did a better job and is a better person than Demetriou. The NRL have a Demetriou clone at the moment, and he's all hat and no cattle.
Gilligan was just big-noting himself on the growth of the game. He said that the Filth v Scats final had 91,000 and that 5 years ago that would've been 75,000.
What a clown he is, in 2017 "5 years ago", there was 94 thousand watched the Tiges v GWS !!!!

They just assume we can't remember anything past last week, it is an insult the way the media assume we have the same lack of mental capacity that they do.

To be fair he’s probably correct. The filth and scats don’t have our drawing power
What does Gil have to say about what's happened at Hawthorn over the past decade? How can this be happening in 2022?

There are no stupid ideas, just stupid people
Only caught the back end of it, but he's handled today as best he can.
i.e. taken the investigation out of the AFL integrity dept and establishing an outside independent team headed up by a QC and with a diverse (i.e. first nations) reps.
Also mentioned he would be guided by and the report ratified by key first nations people Michael Long and others that missed their names.
Can't stand Gil and nearly all he stands for, but not sure he can do any more than that.
Also do know one other thing, they will miss him when disasters like today occur. Imagine Auld or Dillon fronting things at short notice like today.

Honestly I don't think Gil or the AFL should be anywhere near establishing an outside team.
They can't be allowed to control the narrative on this. They have a history of sweeping things under the carpet under his watch.
His first step is to stand down the accused from their roles or at least advise clubs to do so. The alleged behaviour has tabled in an independent report already.
Another independent investigation can possibly clear their names but this needs to be put to one side for now given the sensitivities to all First Nations people who'll be stunned by today's revelations.
