King of the coverups
Seriously, how many scandals have been swept under the carpet during his reign? I reckon we could start not only a new thread on those but a whole website
He should seriously be investigated, along with the commission, by the authorities for his and their conduct

Lots of mentions above of many failings. A fair number of these could be disputed, there must be one person out there who thinks the stand rule is ok, just one?

But, I have to go with Redmond on this one.

To me the biggest legacy of Gill and his biggest failing is that just about everyone who loves Australian Rules Football hates the AFL. The governing body of the game, the peak competition of our wonderful sport, the most popular sport in the country . . . has a governing body that everyone believes is corrupt and no-one has any respect for.

A truly terrible legacy.

Sounds like American politics!

Jerry Gee has turned the fans against the game. That’s his legacy.

The fans still love their clubs, but they don’t love the game that this dishonest corporate sap has left us with.

Dunno about Gilligan's legacy, he's certainly leaving a dirty great skid mark on our game though.

That's the CEO, what about the chairman? What does he do?

Goyder is currently the chairman of the Australian Football League, Woodside Petroleum and Qantas.

Ah. He's a professional *smile*.

@Gil.

The Tasmanian Jack Jumpers season memberships for the 2023 NBL season just sold out in 26 minutes.

Think about that for a minute (or 26).

The media talk of a finals wildcard again from Jabba the Hutchy's minions over the past 24 hours gives the me absolute *smile*.
There would be few punters who want the ninth placed team to get a shot at the finals but it worries me that Gil is trying to shoehorn this into the media deal because why else would it be coming up? Damn I hate how these media puppets set the agenda as if it's something we need. Stop hijacking our game you pricks.

every CEO just seems to get judged on their broadcast revenue. Nothing else matters.
I can look back at threads from years ago, highlighting areas of concern that have still not been addressed.
No real progress:
Umpiring standards and consistency.
Goal line review technology
The fixture
Teams not trying late in the season
I could go on but i'm still bitterly disappointed in that result tonight.
