If Benny does get the job (now highly unlikely you'd think), it won't be ideal after the season has started. That is unless we already know & are hunting a replacement of our own..

Feels like Gil has setup the situation perfectly for an internal candidate to takeover. He steps down after round 5, Auld or someone else already in AFL House takes over as interim CEO. They do such a good job for the rest of the season (according to “well placed sources” from AFL approved media outlets anyway) that they rocket into favoritism and officially take the job sometime around grand final week.
if there is a candidate from Geelong past or present, then Benny would be a no go zone.
So round 5 is 10 days away.
Anyword on Gil's big gather exit party?
Is he gonna put on a magic ring and dissappear?
I would have thought after postponing his exit already,
Wed have a successor appointed and Gil would be ordering the canapes?
10 days

Heard something the other day on TV that made my ears prick up. Might have been Caro on ABC sunday morn? I was doing other things and only half listening. She seemed to be saying the clubs are not happy with the leagues slackness and proposed process of appointing 2 (?) new commissioners to vacant spots. Seemed to be saying league has been slack, and implied clubs are over the way the league sets up the board, and the clubs are getting together and putting forward their own candidates, she mentioned a couple of names which I forget.
Thought it was interesting in the context of Warner's book saying the AFLs corruption problems stem from the fact the board is toothless and controlled and manipulated by the Exec, and has been increasingly so since AD and MF.

Board wise, Andrew Ireland, Chris Judd, Keith Thomas and a couple of other ex players are being proposed by the frustrated clubs according to Wilson.
Suggestion from McGuire is that he believes Gerry Gee’s replacement will be from inside the AFL despite spending big dollars on external recruitment.

Yep, pretty obvious they will go with an internal candidate given how long it’s taken. Reckon the headhunting firm they hired probably tried to do their job properly first time and put forward a list of potentials that didn’t include anyone from HQ. Gill probably rejigged the terms of reference and sent them back to have another go at it.
Whoever takes over as interim CEO after round 5 is the anointed one. From there, expect them to be officially appointed around GF week. The game succeeds in spite of HQ not because of it.
Get Peggy onto the commission - they won’t know what hit them.
Gale to the CEO position - takeover complete

Richard Goyder is also Chair of QANTAS and recently said that Alan Joyce was the best CEO in Australia by a long way.
Draw your own conclusions from that
Goyder seems to have failed corporate governance 101. The chief executive should be reporting to HIM, not the other way around. Simply a low altitude flyer.
