The Kangaroos, in particular, receive a $2 million grant that will be used primarily to redevelop their Arden St headquarters.
"If the government were mind readers, they couldn't have read our minds better, it's fantastic," Kangaroos chief executive Eugene Arocca said. "The timing could not be better."
Adelaide Crows chief executive Stephen Trigg, however, says that non-Victorian clubs may lag behind if AFL and government handouts continue.
"There's a very strong equalisation policy in the competition in terms of the special distribution fund," Trigg said.
"Now with this sort of state government intervention, we are moving towards a situation where the non-Victorian clubs will be under pressure to catch up."
