Essendon president warns AFL risks looking like ‘corporate bullies’ if Tassie team fails

Essendon president David Barham is the first club figure to push back on the AFL’s demand of having a roof on the new stadium in Hobart.
On 3AW Football, Caroline Wilson said she was told Barham was “quite outspoken” about the latest update on Tasmania at a recent AFL commission meeting.
“For the first time hearing just a few people in positions of power say well maybe there may be no roof,” Wilson said on 3AW Football.
