This stuff is always done on the quiet. I have no doubt the perth stadium opened discussions with the AFL, but they never got past the coffee and a chat phase, because they were not able to commit to close to the money the MCC already had on the table
On the quiet, yes.
Big claim that a WA/SA offer was less than the MCC bid already on the table, remember the money is coming from the State Govt, they were there .... of course Vic had heaps to lose, Dan aced it.
