Port are having a rest

With only one Game to be played in Melbourne,  this weekend , many fans will be reduced , to wearing their football jumpers , jerseys, guernseys , whilst watching footy , on TV .

Disgruntled fans, will be keen to attend next weekend's,  full round of matches .

This split round , is it a rest for the AFL players , or a clever marketing move by the AFL hierarchy.?

There has been much discussion about the Queens Birthday Public Holiday, celebrated this Monday .

This is not her actual birthday , which falls in April .

Many question the relevance of supporting an archaic institution , of British Royalty , and celebrating its leaders birthday.

Republican and Humanitarian arguments aside ,footy fans are the big winners .

AFL Football matches are played , on every day of the long weekend .

Games are scheduled to begin on Friday night , continuing on Saturday and Sunday , and culminating with Monday's Game at the MCG.

Its a media , broadcasting , and footy fans feast.

Record attendances , are expected at all matches .Fans will be out in their football jumpers, jerseys , guernseys to watch their team play .

Most will be in a relaxed , party mood , knowing they have the Monday holiday to recover .

God save the Queen. ( the birthday holiday at least ! )
