The subject of Tasmania’s AFL expansion bid goes back 30 years to when the league was founded and it’s popped up in the news yet again.

The AFL must give Tasmania a date for entry to the league, or the state government will end its lucrative multimillion-dollar funding deals to Hawthorn and North Melbourne.
