Any chance Eddie might be considered for the position?

Eddie has backed off from most of his commitments in the past 12 months and I've always wondered if this was because he was eyeing off the top job when Gil left?

Not an easy job, but very glad to hear he is going.

I don't like the direction the game has gone under his watch, whoever the replacement is, and I think Eddie would be as good as anyone, has a huge task ahead of them.

First and foremost to stop tinkering with the rules
In the end, it's not going to matter how many breaths you took, but how many moments took your breath away

Now’s your chance, Edward Maguire!

Not surprised, Gil was walking away couple years ago when covid hit and forced his hand.

Jack Hamilton (former Collingwood fullback) was the secretary of the VFL a while back.
