They haven't stopped saying that, like forever.

Spend nothing on overseas aid, nothing on defense, NBN is (was) a waste of money, no 2nd Sydney airport, no mobile towers in my area, don't dig anything up, nothing on renewable anything! etc etc etc

Exactly they will be the noisy minority who winge about everything.
Quick question guys are you in favour of a new Stadium or should Bellerive be upgraded. I think Bellerive is awesome and an upgrade would be way good enough. Or is it the central to Hobart CBD that's the issue.

Reality is there is never going to be a 'good time' unless some super rich dude (e.g. twiggy forrest) decides to bankroll the entire thing (which is never going to happen).

Could the money be better spend on other things, absolutely.

Should the AFL take full advantage of every cent that is on the table, absolutely.

What people think & whats been said is now irrelevant. Bellerive is not what the powers want. Its a bugger to get to & from as its on a beach side with close suburban homes & limited road access or parking. When it was built they waffled about using ferries & other such rot to justify it.

KGV would have been ok with the rail corridor, bus mall & nearby parking at the showgrounds, racecourse.

But the AFL want the Adelaide/MCG model of proximity to the CBD.

MacPoint done properly, could be a great lively spot on the eastern side of the Hobart waterfront area, From Salamanca right around to the old Navy base at HMAS Huon. They might even spruce that up a bit!

Hopefully they are investing all that unexpected money into things that will create ongoing revenue for the club and not just giving themselves all a healthy payrise .

200k members at $10
16,500 guernsey's at let's say average $80
= around $3.5 million

You would hope the current staff costs are under 500k, so that's 3 million that should go into property, crypto or a nice savings account for the club.

I'm sure in the initial stages they'd be frugal about what expenses are being thrown around.
Obviously people are getting paid for their work but maybe there's some salary sacrifice to get this thing up and going.

That money will have been used up or accounted for already. Some on logo & jumper design, lots on travel and on office + IT + admin costs. Staring up a big business which this will be is not cheap. The AFL will be spending/backing a lot of expense. The next 3 or 4 years will cost a fortune with little coming in until 2028.
(assuming the first game is in March 28 its only another 43 months to go... there is a lot to do in that time).
