I just hope whoever takes over has the gumption & foresight starts to unwind some of the crap decision making we've seen in recent years under Gillion.
Putting AFLW to one side (because they're vastly different sports), the men's comp in particular has being sanitised within an inch of it's life which has alienated much of it's core audience.
Yes I'm getting older & my views are likely becoming redundant but so is Australian Rules Football if it continues on it's current path.
Get the game back to it's basics. It's virtually unrecognisable from the sport that was pretty much untouched for 100 years before AFL executives tried to change it dramatically.

Yeah same mate. But at 66 he's unlikely to want to take a job of that magnitude/pressure on you'd think.
If they had a market would have a few sheckles on Mark Evans.
Good CV for it:
- GM Footy Ops at Hawthorn
- Head of AFL Footy Operations
- CEO Gold Coast
There will be some pressure to appoint from outside the AFL hierarchy. Unsure if they will listen though.

Hopefully whoever is next in the chair looks to phase out the heavy reliance on gambling dollars from the sport.
Phase out dollars, you say. Be a short interview with that pitch.
Not if there's a viable alternative behind it.
I'm extremely uncomfortable with the over saturation of gambling ads that pervade the sport.
Unfortunately its naive to think that will ever happen. All sports not just AFL are saturated by gambling companies.
I wouldnt be pitching that idea if I was going for the job.
It's easy money, that's all the league cares about. What viable easy money alternative is there?
Crypto is the new kids on the block, there are starting to get around the AFL now if you look carefully
Eddie failed as the CEO of Ch. 9.
Big difference between being a club president and league CEO.
unfortunately none ... we are the biggest gamblers per capita in the world, so hey ho ...
No surprise I guess.
He certainly wasn’t pushed, the commission love him. He’s a good and seriously tough operator commercially (and everyone in afl land knows it) but they still operate a boys club does the Afl. Did he leave things in a better shape than what he inherited from the bully Demetriou. Maybe yes in some ways I think. But not others. The game itself imo is a mess. Umpiring, match review, the media, adoption by young boys of the game compared to soccer, don’t reckon it’s all that great.
But his broadcasting deal was a hole in one.
Another reason why our Benny is no chance. They just don’t rate him in that area. The clubs want Benny bc he might actually fix some of the cultural issues and footy issues but in my opinion, Benny isn’t favoured by those that decide.
The fact they tried to get Xavier Campbell tells you everything!

He hasn’t been pushed for sure. They - the commission- are spewing Gil is going.
Gil has one more big job he’s not demetriou.
Gil will run Kerry stokes businesses or the olympics internationally - that calibre of role
