NORTH Melbourne will find out if it has a case to answer when the AFL delivers its findings into Lachlan Hansen's concussion case early next week.
The case has caused friction between Andrew Demetriou and his old club, with the AFL chief alleging the Kangaroos were trying to "intimidate" his investigators.
North has also been frustrated at the length of the 10-week investigation, and is keen for team doctor Andy McMahon to have his name cleared.
It is understood AFL integrity officer Brett Clothier and AFL football operations boss Adrian Anderson will meet North football manager Donald McDonald and acting chief executive Cameron Vale early next week.
Hansen returned to the ground in Round 20 after suffering a blow to the head, with teammate Drew Petrie later saying he had seen Hansen vomiting at halftime.
But the Roos do not believe they have a case to answer, and are adamant that McMahon followed AFL protocols to the letter.
The AFL, at one stage, expressed disappointment at least one club official was proving elusive despite being summoned for interviews with Clothier.
Former Melbourne Storm doctor McMahon retained legal counsel before meeting with investigators, given the severity of the allegations.
There is a maximum fine of $20,000 under concussion regulations brought in at the start of the 2011 season.
The AFL grew interested in Hansen's return to the field after Petrie's comments, but Petrie later clarified his radio interview.
Petrie told the AFL in September it needed to "tidy up their investigation and get on with it," which drew a furious reaction from Demetriou.
"I'd just caution, Drew. This is an ongoing, serious investigation," Demetriou replied.
