Andrew Demetriou confirms he will stand down as CEO at the end of this season
• AFL to begin 2-3 month search for Demetriou's replacement
• Deputy CEO Gillon McLachlan among leading candidates
: In this morning's farewell speech, Demetriou admitted his disappointment that the League was not able to curb the increasing use of supplements in the game. However, when asked whether he bore a share of responsibility for the Essendon crisis, Demetriou was unequivocal.
"I don't accept any responsibility for people who try to infiltrate the game, to inject young men with God-knows what substances, to introduce practices that are abhorrent to the game and to families," he said.
"Our job is to try and put as many preventative measures in places as we could, and even as good as our integrity department was, we didn't pick that up.
"That's not a fault. You don't catch every speeding fine, you don't catch every person who breaks the law.
"We are better equipped today to tackle those issues. The AFL's in much better shape today, as is the industry, because of the learnings that happened last year."
