During his playing days Gillmeister played for the Eastern Suburbs Roosters, Brisbane Broncos, Penrith Panthers and the South Queensland Crushers as well as representing Queensland and Australia.
He played mostly in the Second-row, though he also spent time at Prop and Hooker and was known as The Axe to fans of the game because of his punishing tackles, though he is Gilly to his mates. "The Axe" was also the name of the column he wrote for The Sunday Mail in Brisbane.

Growing up, Gillmeister played football with the Gladstone club in Queensland.
Gillmeister's first grade debut in the Brisbane Rugby League premiership was for North Suburbs at eighteen years of age.
In 1986, Gillmeister moved to Sydney, joining the Arthur Beetson-coached, Eastern Suburbs Roosters. Early on in his career, he forged a reputation for being a tough, fearless and hard-hitting tackler, earning him the nickname 'The Axe'. After spending 5 years at the Roosters, Gillmeister signed with his hometown club, the Brisbane Broncos.
