Executive search fees typically are 20-25% of the successful applicant's salary unless there is a set fee negotiated.

Gill’s legacy
- Thread starter The Kop
- Start date
What a surprise...........not. Andrew is a better bloke than Gilligan or Demestos but not a very impressive operator. Prepare for the Brownlow et al to be the most batshite boring event in history with deadpan Dill reading the votes.
You don't apply for these jobs, they are never advertised. The process is a sham and a few other interviews will be held but Dillion was always going to get the job.
AFL boys club is not open to new members.
$500K I remember seeing somewhere, to make a few phonecalls. They would have known it was a window dressing exercise, nudge nudge wink wink, and I'd back it in they'd have connections on the inside. All these cushy big-money-for-not-much consultancy gigs would be insiders.
Yeah I get that, but has he indicated his interest and had an "interview"?
More to the point the search firm would have been:
A) a family member, friend or prior business connection of an executive or commission member
B) a firm owned or partly owned by an executive or a commission member
C) all of the above
And not gone through any semblance of a transparent award process
They will never allow a club CEO to become the League CEO. If the AFL had to run on the financial discipline of a club they’d be found out in two seconds
The search firm is one used exclusively by Goyter the AFL Chair.
He would have a very close connection to them without a doubt and would be hand picking the interview candidates and then be making the appointment recommendation to the rest of the commission.
Its a *smile* farce. Just like the ARC, Rules Committee, All Australian Selection and Draw. Its set-up to orchestrate AFL preferred outcomes.
The thing that really irritates me is the AFL go on about how they’re a not-for-profit. Yes the AFL does not have shareholders but I’m sure plenty of surplus cash finds it’s way in to certain pockets
Gills legacy - hmm!
He has moved the game for the people to being predominantly the game of the corporates. The sponsorship dollar now rules/motivates every decision comming out of headquarters.
His reign has created controversy at almost every decision. And the result of that controversy was always a loss for the players/club members/supporters/fans who are the real stakeholders that have made and still make this game so great.
Typical of Gill's ilk is the corporates get richer and fatter on our game, while the rest of us can go please ourselves.
When is the game going to get a real leader that governs for all the people who make the Australian game what it was always meant to be - a game for the masses?
End of rant!
Go Tiges!

Kudos to McLachlan for this statement:
Outgoing AFL CEO Gillon McLachlan has admitted he remains “very agitated” by the AFL Appeals Board’s decision to overturn Patrick Cripps’ suspension for rough conduct.
“People are aware I was very agitated by that (Appeals Board) decision,” McLachlan said last month for a piece published in this week’s AFL Record.
“It made no sense to me in any way and it is frustrating to have a legal view about due process or procedural fairness - a complete nonsense - really affect a clear mandate to protect the head.
“We confused our supporters and set ourselves back and that really frustrates me.
“When you can have something that is so important, which is protecting the head, and a clear statement from the MRO and backed up by the Tribunal, and then the player getting off because of a legal technicality and nobody really understanding what the hell happened, I find that challenging.
The fact we still haven't created a playing environment where players exercise an abundance of caution to avoid hitting other players in the head is a massive stain on the game and the way it's administered.
Suffice to say, Cripps is an undeserving winner of the Brownlow.

And we know that all the AFL media sycophants will fall over themselves in their praise of him when he walks out the door.
He should be frogmarched out.

If Gillan was really worried about head injuries he would have allowed the brain study access to all those players he promised.
Politics 101, never commission or participate in any inquiry or research that you can't control and may have negative findings or outcomes.If Gillan was really worried about head injuries he would have allowed the brain study access to all those players he promised.
Story says AFL are doing their own research. Wonder what that will find? Highlights the AFLs bob-each-way headless chook approach to difficult issues, make a show of doing something, but don't do anything.
AFL media silence as usual
