    Yes B4L, his father played for the Dogs

    Some info I can find on Westacott

    From 2016


    We spoke to the owner of this fence, Andrew Westacott. His dad was an emergency in the 1954 Grand Final.

      Didn't realise that. A few years ago, a Bulldog business group I was in arranged a function at the GrandPrix track, a few days before practise. We had a good tour of the back rooms, Pitstop etc. Now I know how Campbell Rose arranged it.

        Kylie Watson-Wheeler surges into contention to replace Gillon McLachlan as AFL CEO

        Western Bulldogs president Kylie Watson-Wheeler has surged into contention as a key contender to replace Gillon McLachlan as the AFL Commission?s search is whittled down to a handful of candidates.


        AFL legal and football boss Andrew Dillon and Watson-Wheeler are believed to be the favourites for the role even as AFL chairman Richard Goyder told presidents this week McLachlan would remain in the chair for the next few weeks.

              So Peter Gordon can come back. Terrific to have a fierce vocal president again.

                Her skill set and career experience is so much better suited to City Hall than it is to a club environment.

                Purely gut feel but I think she will get the gig over Andrew Dillon.

                    I don't really feel like we've got her now. Just another career corporatist on her way up to her next sinecure.

                          I reckon it takes some work.

                          If this was Ameet would we be saying the same? I'm not saying it but I'm thinking it.

                            This appointment has never sat well with me and I feel like I’ve heard her name mentioned in CEO talks from the day she walked into the club.

                              The fact that it has dragged on for so long is hardly an endorsement of Dillions, Auld or Gales bids.
                              I'm not sure what to make of this but while it would be nice to see a genuine Bulldogs person in such a prestigious job, I'm not sure how she might go.

                              Could Andrew Westacott be parachuted into the role of the clubs President if Kylie Watson-Wheeler was successful?
