McLachlan outlines AFL funds for Tasmanian team

The AFL has pledged to spend $360 million on a Tasmanian team, noting approval for a 19th licence is contingent on funding being secured for a new stadium.

The money, to be spent over a decade, includes $100 million in game development and $33 million to develop young players in three new "talent academies".

AFL chief Gillon McLachlan said $210 million would be rolled out for a new club over a decade to cover "base funding", including specialist list establishment.
