AFL
The home and away season wraps up on Wednesday night when the Gold Coast Suns host Essendon in a game that was postponed from Opening Round due to the unseasonal tropical cyclone that battered south-east Queensland.
The rest of the competition has its pre-finals bye before swinging back into gear next Thursday.
It's Indigenous Round in the AFLW this weekend, beginning with a Dreamtime clash between Richmond and Essendon in Darwin on Thursday night.
The VFL, SANFL, WAFL and QAFL also have finals this weekend,
Wednesday: Gold Coast Suns v Essendon (7:20pm AEST)
Thursday: Richmond W v Essendon W (7:15pm AEST)

Rugby Union
Take note that the Wallabies have the week off this week, as is standard practice after two rounds of the Rugby Championship.
They'll be preparing for a pair of home games against Argentina in Townsville and Sydney, with each team taking 1-1 win-loss records into the break.
Formula 1
Oscar Piastri will be back in action in the Dutch Grand Prix, a race he grabbed points in during both previous attempts (ninth in 2023 and fourth in 2024).
Piastri is the only driver to collect points in all 14 races so far this year (out of a calendar of 24 in total) but his slender lead over teammate Lando Norris stands at just nine points.
The Aussie recently described the McLaren rivalry as "an interesting dynamic" but spoke of "no tension" amongst the two, who are one-two in the 2025 Drivers Championship.
Not everyone seems to believe that.
Tennis
Alexei Popyrin and Tristan Schoolkate are scheduled to take to the courts of Flushing Meadows early on Wednesday morning before the all-Aussie battle between Chris O'Connell and world number eight Alex De Minaur.
Adam Walton made the second round and will face Coleman Wong overnight on Wednesday night at the same time that Jordan Thompson takes on Adrian Mannarino.
Alexei Popyrin v Emil Ruusuvuori
Tristan Schoolkate v Lorenzo Sonego

There were also five Australians still alive in the women's singles as of Tuesday night, headlined by new recruit Daria Kasatkina.
