A Very Rough Transcript of the AFL 360 Andrew Demetriou Interview

Gerard: Well tonight we have the Chief Executive Officer of the AFL Andrew Demetriou with us in what has been a season of high drama. Andrew welcome to AFL360.

Andrew: Thank you Gerard.

Robbo: Andrew you’ve got a tan, you’ve been away haven’t you?

Andrew: You don’t know this yet Robbo but this is the only question I will actually answer tonight. Yes I’ve been away with my kids… work/life balance etc etc. I didn’t say it would be a good answer but I did actually answer it.

Robbo: You heard Gerard’s claims at the top of the show, that Essendon would not be charged, is that true?

Andrew: Robbo I’m not going to answer that, as it would be inappropriate while there are investigations and stuff going on. Important stuff. Mucho Importanto.

Robbo: But is there confusion about AOD-9604 between ASADA and WADA? Am I remembering the letters right Gerard?

Andrew: Again, I’m not going to answer that. ASADA have an investigation underway and it would be inappropriate! Inappropriate for me to say anything about anything.

Robbo: Argh! This is so frustrating! It’s like you’re always 37 steps ahead of me! Wait, now I’ve dropped my pen! I’m stumped.

Gerard: Andrew, Stephen Milne played on the weekend do you think it trivialised sexual assault?

Andrew: Gerard that is such a complex issue and a great question. I think I’d prefer not to take any more questions from a journalist. Robbo?

Robbo: Ok. So I’m lying in bed…

Andrew: There’s a horrible thought!

Robbo: Well it would be if you were next to me! Ha Ha Ha!

Andrew: Ha Ha Ha!

Robbo: Two guys in bed together! Ha! To think! Anyway I’m listening to SEN and you ring in and just take a cricket bat to an article I wrote on AFL player ambassadors.

Andrew: Robbo are you just asking questions that involve you and me now?

Robbo: Do you like me Andrew? It’s important you do.

Andrew: Sure Robbo, Sure. Good interview guys. Gerard, why are you crying?
