Asked if the AFL was concerned about the state of Carlton's finances, Demetriou said: "Yes, and the Carlton Football Club has been pretty upfront about the position they're in and been very transparent and has a willingness to address the issue. If we can help them, we will.
"They've got some problems they inherited and they've also got the legacy of some very hefty penalties. On the one hand. it's very difficult for them to make inroads into their debt, which is very large and added to that is they're not winning football games.
"Their problems won't be solved just by winning football games. They've got a large debt, which they're prepared to tackle and work with us and we'll work with them to see if we can address that issue, because they're a very proud football club, they're a great football club and we want Carlton to be successful again."
