The Herald Sun in their recent "Power" list has suggested that the AFL CEO race is down to Dillon and Gale. Who would be the Fan's preferred?
Gale
Despite the Richmond connection, I feel that the AFL really needs to be run by someone who is a football person. He has played 200 odd games, turned us around from an absolute joke in 2010 to a club that can actually be sustained. The big knock on him is that we, Richmond as club, have butted heads with the AFL and have done things that have ruffled the jimmies of people within AFL house.
Dillon
Honestly I don't know much about him. He does seem to be part of that AFL "Boys Club" which seems to be the anal cyst of this great game. Has been in an Exec role at the AFL for a while and would probably have the knowledge of the skeletons in the closet.
For me I want someone in the role who is a football person. Someone who has a long history with the game and actually appears to like the game, whoever that can be. Hell Tom Harley would be a good young option but the idea is he seems to be too inexperienced. With the current administration I always get the feeling that they actually don't like the game. It seems that the current exec team only likes to cheat on their spouse and increase the bottom line on the game.
