'You don’t support the stadium; you won't have a team': AFL 'pretty clear' to Tasmania

UTS Chief Economist Tim Harcourt says “poor old Tassie” has been waiting 33 years for an AFL team so “$240 million over 33 years is not very much” after the AFL sent a "pretty clear" message during negotiations. “A lot of people are under this impression, ‘Oh we just want a team playing at Bellerive and York Park but we don’t want the stadium’,” Mr Harcourt told Sky News host Rita Panahi. “It is pretty clear – you don’t support the stadium; you won't have a team. “The AFL will take it off the table.”
