Yesterday’s announcement from AFL CEO Gillon McLachlan has seen a $200,000 injection into the talent pathway in Tasmania. This funding boost assists in subsidising over 100 players within AFL endorsed AFL Tasmania talent programs. It is an exciting announcement that will significantly reduce the burden on Tasmanian families within the talent pathway.
