From Gil to Dil
Gale should have got the gig

 

[IanG]

Don't care that he's a Richmond support, I want someone appointed for the good of the whole game and he's not it.

So 666, and stand rules will be repealed?

 

[TigerFlag2017]

Of course he did.

 

[tigerman]

I expect one of Marshall Matt Dillion's first announcements to be that the Tiges no longer have to play home games at Marvel. That will indicate whether he's a true Tiger

 

[Bullarto Tiger]

BORING

"There's no boys club" LOL

"There's no boys club" LOL

Yeah, he "doesn't buy" the notion of a boys club at AFL HQ. Of course he doesn't, he's part of it.

"You only have to look at our executive team, which is only half made up of Old Xaverian old boys, and has only one brother of an existing exec member appointed without being advertised, to see that there is no boys club here"

seriously what a joke. They don't give a *smile*.

I get the impression the AFL is one of those organizations that only accept applicants if they attended a GFNGS

(GFNGS = Government-Funded Non-Government School as they sure as sh!t aint private or independent)

Dillon's Old Xavs mate Simon Lethlean took time out from rooting his secretary to tell De La Salle old boy Michael Gleeson 'the job was awarded based on ability, not a school tie'. He said Everybody likes Dill, he's The Most Liked Guy at all our school reuinions. Gleeso says Everybody likes Dill, and his dad chaired the Melbourne Racing Club while his wife's dad used to run the MCC, so it's not as if he doesn't understand the common man in the Long Room or the Bird Cage. (See? Diversity.) His uncle is one of those priests who reckon you shouldn't root kids, so clearly of good stock. Demeglomaniac says Dill's 'a safe pair of hands', and Everybody likes him. Lethlean snorted a line and pointed out that 'If they brought in an outsider, the criticism would be they have no connections and contacts.' Brendon Gale has no connections and contacts. He went to Burnie Tech or something, how could he? Does he even have a dealer?

Whoever the recruiting firm who was entrusted to find the new CEO must’ve been p1ssing themselves when awarded the contract.

 

[year of the tiger]

Nothing like an international search that took over 12 months and they end up recruiting the bloke in the office next door - the AFL pretends it has a process only to look good.

Yep, and you can bet your bottom dollar the firm had connections to someone at City Hall who may or may not have received a brown paper bag.

 

[craig]

Who gives a stuff.

Nepotism or a Political Agenda Quota appointment.

Meh.

 

[Tony Braxton-Hicks]

Zero degrees of separation for Xav boys of that era, especially the sporty lads. But the AFL's Legal Counsel wouldn't have let that sort of character remain in a post-Xav AFL role, would he?

 

[Legends of 2017]

I’ve just got my retirement plan in the works. Will snag the next contract for Dill’s replacement when the time is due. Will undercut the next bidders offer by say, $100,000 ( still a cool 1-1.5 mill in my pocket), offer to do a thorough worldwide search for the most suitable candidate. Then when nobody is looking, will take a peek at the nameplate on the office door next to Dill’s office, and voila, my pick for the next CEO

 

[tigers80]

Chasing BG for the 2ic role.

So not a boys club, but an Old Boys Club
