Re: Gillan MCLACHLAN
Gillan comes from the polo set if you get my meaning. Andrew's protege who probably had connections to get initial AFL job. Then he played his cards right and had a dream run into one of the country's most high profile jobs.
Never met him but from my little indirect interaction I had with him he comes across a bit snooty and up himself.

Re: Gillan MCLACHLAN
Is the job starting to take its toll on him. I saw him on 360 and he looked very tired and haggard. Looked like he'd just woken up. I was going to say the pressure was getting to him, but what pressure!

Re: Gillan MCLACHLAN
Comes across as a tosser if things aren't going his way. You can picture him being a boardroom bully! Should have gone down for his role in the Essendon debacle. If you read chip Le grands 'the straight dope'...he comes across looking dirtier than most of the key dons. personally hate his type! Him and Fitzpatrick are a real pidgeon pair!

Re: Gillan MCLACHLAN
Thats the only thing he has going for him that he is a Saints fan. He is just a muppet, couldnt make a strong decision if his life depended on it. He and Demetrio and Fitzpatrick have over seen the most corrupt 15 years the competition has ever known. Its all about the mighty dollar they might aswell be running a criminal cartel, with the amount of cover ups and manner in which they manipulate the competition.

He has an eight day old daughter, which would account for looking tired and haggard!White Winmar wrote:Is the job starting to take its toll on him.

He's doing an excellent job.

Re: Gillan MCLACHLAN
I liked Ross Oakley and Wayne Jackson. Vlad and the polo player, not so much. It always seemed they were hiding something. The 8 day old daughter would explain the sudden appearance of large bags under his eyes, BS!

yeah but I think the point is its just whinging without basis and just for the sake of itWhite Winmar wrote:I liked Ross Oakley and Wayne Jackson. Vlad and the polo player, not so much.

I could also argue:
We got shafted when Jackson sold Waverly out from under us and did Hawthorn a massive favour - untrue of course but...
Oakley a saints player deliberately snubbed us to avoid being accused of favouritism, set up the interstate expansion which (ok most) here believe to be the reason for our lack of success
its just whinging cr@p

Re: Gillan MCLACHLAN
Mainly from bulldog and Fitzroy supporters, IIRC. All about the merger moves at the time. Overall, I thought he did a good job.
