The AFL and the Tasmanian premier say there is no doubt the Tasmania Devils will enter the competition in 2028, consistent with earlier commitments. However, several rival club officials say they are increasingly nervous about whether the original terms of the agreement are being altered, particularly in response to rising stadium costs. The reports describe a divide between official assurances that the 2028 timeline remains fixed and the concerns of some club bosses who fear the financial and contractual arrangements linked to the venue may shift over time. While the AFL and the Tasmanian government maintain that the plan for a 2028 entry is assured, critics argue that changing costs and deal conditions could affect the broader responsibilities or expectations of existing clubs. The situation is framed as clubs seeking clarity on the final financial structure underpinning the Devils’ entry, even as public messaging from the AFL and the state government continues to stress certainty about the league’s expansion schedule.
