net in the ballpark of $1million per season from the deal \u2013 a major uplift on the deal to play at Marvel Stadium.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-1n6q21n-StyledParagraph e4e0a020\"><a

Tasmanian Government had led the pursuit of the Tigers playing in Hobart to ensure AFL matches remain in the state\u2019s capital before the Devils\u2019 introduction.<\/p>\n<p

WA.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-1n6q21n-StyledParagraph e4e0a020\">The Roos will next season exit Tasmania completely, with two matches remaining across Perth and Bunbury and the additional two matches
