    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: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
