FOOTY'S first and only female executive has resigned from her post at the AFL.

Christina Ogg, the league's general manager of human resources, tendered her resignation to AFL boss Andrew Demetriou yesterday.

And in a major shake-up to the AFL's high-powered leadership team, senior executive Andrew Catterall announced he was taking long service leave.

The Herald Sun understands Catterall - general manager of strategy and marketing - will not be returning to the AFL.

The changes were relayed to club chief executives yesterday.

Both Catterall and Ogg were highly-paid members of the AFL's nine-person managerial body, which includes Demetriou.

League staffer Sam Graham will take command of the key strategy aspect of Catterall's job, while Stephen Gray and Blair Crouch will assume the marketing responsibilities.

AFL No.2 Gillon McLachlan, widely expected to replace Demetriou when he retires, will oversee Catterall's department in the interim.

Catterall, 38, was considered a rising star of the AFL and helped oversee the game's expansion into the Gold Coast and Greater Western Sydney.

Club CEO's were told he had decided to take extra leave ahead of his upcoming wedding.

Ogg broke new ground for women in football in June 2009 by being promoted to join the executive.

The AFL Commission has two female members, Sam Mostyn and Linda Dessau.

Changes have also been forced for the AFL's Grievance Tribunal after its chair, Jack Rush QC, was yesterday unveiled as one of four new St Kilda board members.

"Jack Rush informed the AFL that he would be joining the St Kilda board and a process is now underway, as specified under the collective bargaining agreement, to appoint a replacement to the Grievance Tribunal," a league spokesman said.

"An announcement will be made in due course."

Joining Jack on the Saints' board are Olympic gold medal hockey player Danni Roche, accountant Paul Kirk and Melbourne and Olympic Parks Trust chairman Russell Caplan.
