With the AFL's love of gambling it could have been called the Poker Round.
Who does the 'Gather' (I can't believe they called it that) Round actually benefit apart from SA Tourism? Such a weird concept.
So it looks like Andrew Dillon will be McLachlan's heir to the throne.
Let's hope we don't go from Gill the Dill to Dill the Dill.

So once again nothing changes, the inbreeding continues apace.
With such a boring bunch of games it probably should have been called the "sleeper round".
It was obvious from the moment Gill announced he was stepping down all the way back in April that they would chose someone internal to replace him. No great surprise there.
What is surprising is how the whole process has unfolded since. In my view, things have no gone to plan behind the scenes. Maybe the headhunter they hired to put together a short list actually did their job properly and neither Dillon, Auld or anyone else within AFL HQ were on it. Maybe it’s something else entirely. We’ll have to wait for for Caro or some other so called sports journalist to enlighten us at some point in the future. Whatever the problem, the AFL will do what they do best and manage the outcome.
Gill stays on until round 5 next year. The anointed one, whoever that is, will take over as interim CEO and do such a spectacular job, at least according to media sycophants and “afl insiders” they’ll become the short priced favorite to succeed Gill permanently. The commission will then hire a new headhunter with a new brief who will put together a new shortlist which, surprise, surprise, has the interim CEO at the very top along with a couple of token names from club land.
The commission does their rigorous interview process involving psychological testing , aptitude testing, six rounds of interviews and a two hour presentation to the commission on the future of the game. Of course, only the token candidates from clubland will have to do this. The internal candidate will do their sole interview over a long-lunch at an overpriced restaurant where at least three bottles of Grange will be consumed.
Finally, after such a long and arduous process, the commission announce the successful candidate which is of course the internal candidate during grand final week. The media then do their part and write article after article saying how, in the end, they were the only choice and how difficult their task is but how they are totally up for the challenge and will stamp their mark on the game.
At least that’s how I think it will go.
Isn't it too obvious why Gill is leaving after the Magic Mushroom round? He wants a formal party to say goodbye. Bit like standing on the Queen's balcony with thousands waving candlelights at him....
Have look at the hypocrisy and corruption of this organisation pathetic.
Go to the 47 second mark never seen a sport in the world where it's governing body expects the big clubs to support the other clubs financially yet Gill parades the record TV deal recently , it's your job to support the other clubs mind you didn't return the cash to supposedly for covid scumbags.
