Why a Gillon McLachlan answer on 3AW concerned Gerard Healy

Gillon McLachlan told Neil Mitchell on Friday that all 18 clubs would survive the coronavirus-enforced lay-off.
But the way he worded and delivered his answer unsettled Gerard Healy.

Healy said the league could not afford to lose any club, whether it be the Gold Coast, GWS or a struggling Victorian side.
