AFL GENERAL manager of football operations Steve Hocking will replace Brian Cook as chief executive of Geelong.

Hocking joined the AFL in 2017 after a long association with the Cats – as football department head after 199 matches from 1984-94.

He will officially exit his AFL role this Thursday, and will recommence at Geelong at the completion of the 2021 season.

AFL CEO Gillon McLachlan said general counsel and executive general manager of game development Andrew Dillon would fill Hocking's role for the remainder of the 2021 season.


Hopefully for season 2022 the AFL can put someone in charge who has a feel for the game and get rid of some of the stupid rules that Hocking brought in and that the new person will have some more common sense to the role.
