State Cabinet is expected to consider a proposal for North Melbourne to play two matches a season at Bellerive Oval.
The deal would cost half a million dollars a year.
The Greens leader Nick McKim says it can not be justified when public sector jobs are on the line and a tough budget looms.
"It's just not justifiable to spend yet more government, tax payer money on AFL football," he said.
The Premier Lara Giddings says she is listening.
"They're certainly considerations that I'm undertaking now as to is now the time or not," she said.
The proposal has created divisions between the north and south, because of concerns it is not sustainable to have AFL venues in both Hobart and Launceston.
