The Australian Football League finals will be held in Melbourne this year, which means that many Hotels in Melbourne will be fully booked soon. Rather than simply choosing one at random and hoping for the best, you could always search for Melbourne Hotels at the CheaperThanHotels site.

From what I have seen of the sport, AFC appears to be quite similar to Gaelic Football - Dan & Rob if you ever read this, thanks for the heads up on the interesting sport There is in fact a meeting between the two types of rugby like games - International Rules Football, which combines the two sets of rules, and looks a little more interesting than 22 fairies diving around a grass pitch, playing soccer.

Anyway, if you intend to head out to the final, make sure you find a good Hotel in Melbourne, you will want somewhere to rest your head once you have celebrated/commiserated the results.
