The new AFL chief executive says "there's no boys' club" in the league despite Gillon McLachlan being replaced by his number two after a year-long search.
Andrew Dillon has been with the AFL since arriving as an in-house lawyer in 2000 and has held multiple administrative roles since then, including general counsel for the past 12 years.
Club bosses were told of Dillon's appointment in a meeting this morning before his official unveiling at a press conference, where he was asked if an in-house corporate lawyer being elevated to AFL chief executive suggested the league lacked diversity.
