PSD is early this year. Isn't it usually the 1st week of December?

Less time to reassess between ND and PSD and rank final listing of rookies.

I was of the understanding that the Free Agency Period has been put back to commence on Friday 4 October. It has something to do with the teams playing in the GF not having to rush into the Free Agency Period on the Monday following the GF.

I'm just so disappointed that Telstra have diversified into breakfast cereals. So many early morning memories, runied now by a telecommunications company.

Yep. It's always much later, too late IMO. Clubs wanted it changed to finalise the list earlier which is fair enough.
