Sounds like the power to be are winding up the ..eat the food or see it given to the dogs….

They can see an underlying …its be alright in the end the afl will renegotiate if the stadium is Knocked back … ..and that the licence is only provisional... trying to get across that the whole thing could implode. what would be the outcome though if the AFL did pull the plug?

“But presidents and clubs have two powers, and that is, to some extent, to composition of the commission and the right to sign off on new teams.
