The AFL Commission could approve further measures to beef up anti-doping measures in the wake of the Essendon and Australian Crime Commission revelations.

The commission will meet on Monday and one proposal certain to be on the agenda is that each AFL club be required to employ an integrity officer.

League chief executive Andrew Demetriou said last week the measure would be better for a club than employing another coach.

“That’s one of the options we’ve discussed as a commission and it’s one of the things we’ll discuss on Monday (at a commission meeting),” Demetriou said during a forum on doping in the game.

“I think it’s very important that every club think about having a full-time integrity officer – you actually want to minimise the risk.

“It’s far, far more appropriate than investing in another coach, for example, because one poor decision at a football club can have dire consequences.”

The AFL Commission held an emergency meeting on February 7, the same day that the federal government released the landmark Australian Crime Commission report into sport.

That was only two days after Essendon announced they were facing a joint Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority and AFL investigation for supplements that their players took last year.

After the emergency commission meeting, the AFL announced they would devote more resources to their integrity unit.

The coach, president, chief executive and football manager from each club also has to meet with the AFL.

Carlton president Stephen Kernahan said at the club’s family day on Sunday that their hierarchy would meet with the AFL this Tuesday and are confident they have the right anti-doping measures.

“I’d like to assure everyone … that Carlton are confident we’ve had the right governance controls in place,” Kernahan said.

“We’ve had excellent chains of command, to not have any issues with the supplements saga.”

Another item on the commission meeting agenda will be their equalisation strategy for the 18 clubs.

A luxury tax on the bigger clubs is one option the league will consider.

Clubs will soon respond to the league’s request for feedback on equalisation reform, ahead of a meeting with the commission in March.

A group of the bigger clubs has suggested that the league buy Etihad Stadium immediately to help solve the competition’s structural problems.
