Everyone wants a moment with AFL boss Gillon McLachlan.

But it’s easier said than done.

With 18 clubs, multiple broadcasters and millions of fans worldwide, McLachlan’s schedule is understandably busy.

But one man who has a direct line to him is the Collingwood captain.

Scott Pendlebury was fortunate enough to host McLachlan on episode nine of Jock and Journo.

Pendlebury and co-host Jay Clark speak with the man charged with the task of leading the game into the future about a host of issues nearest to their hearts.

From the state of the game to the future of Lion Josh Schache, to Grand Final entertainment and the collective bargaining agreement, McLachlan answers all the hard questions from Jock and Journo.
