ANDREW Demetriou was not shocked when Adrian Anderson walked into his spacious office at AFL House at 3pm on Tuesday and told him he was leaving.
The pair had been talking about Anderson's desire for "a new challenge" for the better part of three weeks.
The two very public faces of the AFL resolved to keep the decision "in house" for the time being.
The executive was not told until early yesterday, then the staff at AFL House were briefed. It wasn't until a media release was issued less than an hour before Anderson's 12.15pm press conference that news filtered out.
"It's something Adrian and I have been discussing for quite a while, talking about the future and future challenges," Demetriou said yesterday.
"I wasn't surprised. The only surprise was that it happened (so quickly).
"He is looking for new challenges. He has achieved a lot of the stuff he set out to do."
Demetriou - the man who handpicked Anderson in late 2003 for the tough football operations role that he himself once had - said he felt a mix of pride and satisfaction in Anderson's achievements.
He described as "utter garbage" talk that Anderson was unhappy with the way his role had been heading.
