Laura Kane will succeed Andrew Dillon, take it to the bank.

She is so impressive.

You're not posting a rumor, Red?

Had a lunch once with Dillon, Gill and others senior people in the AFL (as part of a partnership agreement).
 

I was seated next to Dillon and the late Ray Gunston - both lovely blokes and very friendly.

Gil, on the other hand, was arrogant and rude.

Hope Dillon gets a decent crack at it, a significantly better human than the last two blokes in the chair.

She fits the bill - Melbourne uni law grad while being heavily involved with the uni blacks who never practised but worked for kpmg (or equivalent) as a consultant to a club / the afl

She did a great job handling the Brayshaw situation when it arose last year...

No, just an observation.

Would you have preferred she overruled the Tribunal?

She said at the time the AFL were unhappy about it and has since made that action illegal.

 

Didn't do much of a job managing the Maynard prosecution.

So far as the next ceo is concerned, I don't know what her name will be.

Yep. She had an opportunity to show the AFL has a backbone and would take  players health more seriously etc. She failed. Maynard now has a premiership medal and a long career ahead of him while Angus is retired. The way she handled that incident was a poor start to her tenure. Anyone can say they're not happy, but actions speak louder than words. She took no action and didn't challenge the tribunal result either. Rules been changed since, but justice was not served. 

Not to say she won't redeem herself and do valuable things in her GM role, but I don't see anything overly impressive yet.

She actually did take action, she overruled the MRO and forced it to the Tribunal.

If Christian had his way, there would have been no Tribunal hearing, as he saw "nothing in it".

100% agreed. I was appalled that the tribunal decision was not strongly appealed 

Absolutely nothing happened. 
Maynard got NOTHING, was free to continue playing. 
The AFL are interested in only making $$$

Corruption at a very high level

But also she "managed" the debacle of the Crows loss to the swans. Lacked a backbone but so did the Crows. Cost a finals place .

Really you jest Lord T I presume.

Was gutless in not taking the case to the Appeals Tribunal if she did not look like making a soft statement just to look good.

That’s an early call, hard to not see Dillon in the job for the next decade.

She is only 33. Dillon is 52.

If he stays 10 years, she will be 43, perfect age for CEO.


From the moment that Christian said he  would take no action against Maynard it was all over and from then it just became a show trial .He didn't refer it to the tribunal neither did Keane they did it jointly (when did that ever happen ?)Christian did not change his stance even after the referral .It was akin to a prosecutor stating to the jury  that it could decide the matter but as far as the prosecutor was concerned the accused was innocent . Did they even call a human movements expert to contest the evidence of Maynards expert ? .Some involved had allegiance to Collingwood and were not remotely independent . Im no fan of Keane .She sold us down the drain .

Beautifully summed up Kall. Weak as p..s was Kane. All for show and what a charade. About all it would have done was win a game of Charades. Some people are easily fooled. Watch the interview from OTC and see how she dodged and weaved some questions. Very poor I thought.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

  • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
