Former Geelong President set for AFL Chairman unveiling
SEN • October 28th, 2025 3:58 pm
The AFL is set to unveil former Geelong President Craig Drummond as the new Chairman of the AFL.
As reported by 7News' Xander McGuire, Drummond is set to step into the role ahead of the 2026 season, taking over from the departing Richard Goyder.
Drummond first commenced presidency at Geelong in 2021, having sat on the club board since 2011. The former federal government financial regulator and Medibank CEO has been awarded the job over the likes of former Collingwood president Jeff Browne, former Western Bulldogs president Peter Gordon, and former AFLPA CEP Peter Allen - all of which remained top candidates for the commission role.
Stepping away from Geelong at the conclusion of 2024, Drummond re-enters the AFL landscape following Goyder's nine-year run as the league commissioner.
More to come.
