AFL 360's Gerard Whateley says Andrew Demetriou got the timing of his resignation as AFL Chief Executive spot on, with the problems that have developed under his watch seemingly unable to go away.
PORT Adelaide chief executive Keith Thomas has lavished praise on outgoing AFL boss Andrew Demetriou.
Thomas says Demetriou played a major role in keeping the club afloat with his words as much as his actions.
"The two things I remember in our relationship with him were first of all in August, 2011, which was about when I started at the club and we were in awful trouble, very difficult situations," Thomas said.
"I remember Andrew coming out really aggressively to media reports about our viability and long-term position in the AFL and saying that he could not imagination an AFL competition without Port Adelaide in it.
"I thought that was a really strong statement of leadership and a very comforting thing to say from this club's point of view.
"His second most significant issue for us was his role in getting us to Adelaide Oval.
"So not only did he stabilise the ship with his words but he was a principle member of the team which negotiated the opportunity for us to take footy back to Adelaide Oval, which changes the financial model for Port Adelaide and will ensure our long-term financial security is there.
"So for us he's been a great friend of this football club, a great administrator for the AFL and we are better off for him being in the chair."
