Western Australia will host four Australian Football League finals in 2015, which are collectively expected to boost the state’s economy by almost $A100m. The two finals matches in Perth on 12 and 13 September are tipped to attract more than 31,000 interstate supporters, while Fortescue Metals Group director Mark Barnaba says the finals will also boost morale in a state that has been hard hit by the downturn in the resources sector.
