Timeline
Gillon McLachlan (born 1973 ) is an Australian sports administrator.
He is the former chief executive officer of the Australian Football League (AFL).
Besides playing as a ruckman for the club (1994–2003), he was captain (2000–2002), was awarded the C. W. McLeod Trophy for best-and-fairest (2000), committee member and made a life member (2003).
After completing secondary school as a boarder at St Peter's College, Adelaide, McLachlan obtained a Bachelor of Commerce degree at the University of Adelaide in 1995 and a Bachelor of Laws (Honours) degree at the University of Melbourne in 1996, where he was a resident at Trinity College.
He later completed the Senior Executive Program at Stanford University.
McLachlan played Australian football in the Hills Football League colts competition for the now defunct Pleasant Valley club.
After moving to Melbourne, he played with Melbourne University Blues in the Victorian Amateur Football Association (VAFA).
McLachlan was a regular VAFA representative, including as captain, and was on the Carlton Football Club supplementary list from 1996 to 1997.
McLachlan has represented Victoria in polo and has been a national selector.
After leaving university, McLachlan worked as a management consultant with Accenture.
In 2000, he was employed as a strategy consultant to the AFL by CEO Wayne Jackson.
He proceeded to move up through key administrative posts at the league.
In 2003, he was appointed general manager of commercial operations.
In 2008, he was appointed chief operating officer.
In 2012, it was reported that McLachlan rejected the CEO positions at the National Rugby League and Liverpool F.C., before being appointed deputy CEO of the AFL in December 2012.
During this time, McLachlan played a major role in delivering stadiums for two new teams (Gold Coast and Greater Western Sydney), established the AFL Media department, and negotiated the media broadcast deal of $1.25 billion.
In 2013, he supervised the AFL's investigation into the Melbourne Football Club tanking scandal and the negotiations with the Essendon Football Club as part of its illegal sports supplements scandal.
He was appointed to the role in 2014, succeeding Andrew Demetriou, having previously served as his deputy, and finished his contract at the end of the 2023 season, passing the reins to Andrew Dillon.
McLachlan grew up on his family farm, "Rosebank", located in Mount Pleasant, South Australia.
His parents are Angus, a former first class cricketer, and Sylvia.
He is the eldest of four brothers: Hamish, Will and Banjo.
His uncle, Ian McLachlan, was an Australian government Minister for Defence, and was long term president (to 2014) of the South Australian Cricket Association.
At the announcement of his appointment, McLachlan stated: "I've been part of the community of football and I know how important it is. I played over 200 games of amateur or country football, I've captained a club, I've been on a committee of a club, I'm a life member of a club. I've had my share of cold showers and freezing committee meetings. I've been part of appointing coaches and sacking coaches. I have a clear vision of where the game needs to go and how we're going to get there. For me that vision is about having an unassailable hold on the Australian community."
In 2014, McLachlan was appointed patron of the Children's Cancer Foundation.
McLachlan stated: "Australian football is built on community. We are only as strong as the community in which we reside. The Children's Cancer Foundation's values reflect the AFL's commitment to effecting positive social change."
Since 2015, McLachlan has also been a member of the Million Dollar Lunch Committee.
In April 2022, McLachlan announced that he would step down from his role as AFL CEO at the end of the 2022 AFL season, but his tenure was extended until the end of the 2023 season after the selection process for his replacement took longer than expected.
McLachlan is married to Laura Blythe, who was a fellow resident at Trinity College and is the daughter of former Spotless chairman Brian Blythe.
The McLachlans have four children.
