2-4 Sept -
9-11 Sept - AFL/NRL Finals
16-18 Sept - AFL/NRL Finals / QLD, VIC School Holidays
23-25 Sept - AFL / NRL Finals / WA Queens Birthday Holiday Weekend / NSW, QLD, VIC School Holidays

3 Nov - Melb Cup Carnival - Oaks Day

* 11-13 Nov
* 18-20 Nov
* 25-27 Nov

Actually the AFL finals will start the weekend of 9-11 Sept. And the GF will be 1 October.

Your right. It seems the AFL have thrown a BYE weekend on 2-4 Sept in between Round 23 & 1st week of the Finals , which has to be a first ...very strange.

I have updated my post and i suppose that now adds 2-4 Sept as a clear weekend also that could be included in the poll.

 

[samh004]

I have posted the poll, it's open for 15 days.

Coz North Melbourne, not being able to be dislodged from their ladder position in the last round this year 'rested' 10 players from the last match, which while 'legal', made the game a bit farcical and took the piss somewhat. So the AFL figured if they threw in a bye between last round and first final, there'd be little likelihood of that happening again...one week off may be beneficial for player and team, but two is likely to be detrimental.

The poll may be over, but I would have chosen PER had I been able to vote.
