The last weekend in September is one of the busiest times of the year for Australian domestic sport with the very best of men’s Australian rules football, and men’s and women’s rugby league on show.
It all starts with the parade that stops a city on Friday, as the teams in the 2023 AFL grand final make their way through Melbourne streets in front of adoring fans. The AFL decider itself on Saturday, then the NRLW and NRL taking centre stage on Sunday – which is when daylight savings are introduced.
