Product Overview

After years of trying, Tasmania has finally been given the green light to field a team in the AFL, but there’s a catch: the locals have to build a new stadium.
Given Tasmania is already dealing with a housing crisis, a health crisis and two sizeable stadiums, not everyone thinks the $1.13 billion taxpayer spend is the greatest idea.
AFL administrator Hugh Shen has been sent from Melbourne to establish the club. There’s a divided public to win over, oppressive deadlines to meet, feisty protesters to handle and inoffensive mascots to employ.
Oh, and there’s also the small matter of finding the coach and the players, which might eventually lead to someone actually playing football. Should all be a piece of cake.
