Good Weekend Talks: Portrait of AFL boss Gillon McLachlan in a time of crisis

Welcome to Good Weekend Talks, a weekly chance for our audience to luxuriate in a long-form story from the magazine, read by an actor and followed by a discussion with an editor, a writer and an expert.

This week, Nic English will bring to life Good Weekend senior writer Konrad Marshall's September 2019 cover story about AFL boss Gillon McLachlan and his leadership successes and failures, particularly on the hot button social and cultural issues of the past decade but also the most immediate and pressing problem of the day.

Joining Konrad for a conversation about McLachlan, with a special emphasis on his early efforts to navigate the havoc being wrought by the COVID-19 virus on Australia's biggest sporting league, are Good Weekend editor Katrina Strickland and senior sports writer from The Age, Michael Gleeson.
