I actually get what they're doing.
They are attempting to put forward a model that has enough input to be seen as serious by the public, and to keep the the virtual signaling exercise rolling along long enough to pressure the AFL to grant them a licence.
There's no chance they will politically fund the bulletproofing of a teams embryonic phase (~20 years)
Of course, once a licence was granted they would step back, put their hands in their pocket, and leave the entire thing in the AFL's lap, whilst doing little more than regurgitate the historical entitlement angle about how they are "owed" a team.
It's an entitlement that they are not owed in my opinion.
