| The AFL (Australian Football League) Grand Final is one of the most popular sporting events not only in Melbourne but in Autralia. It is always held on the last Saturday in September and the 2 best football teams in the country play off for the Premiership Cup and bragging rights for the entire year. Due to the fact that club supports do not know until a week before the AFL Grand Final whether or not their team will be playing in the final the accommodation in and around the MCG does not tend to book up well in advance. However, once the teams participating in the Grand Final are known the accommodation at hotels, motels and serviced apartments is quickly snapped up by passionate supporters. |
