Bob Murphy left for Byron Bay for a fortnight yesterday as per his twitter, so at least that far?

I'm guessing start of November, was a similar time last year.

werent there new rules introduced by the AFLPA stipulating the players have a right to a certain amount of time off? Cant remember the jist of it but i think they might come back start of December

According to the website, the next open training session is scheduled for mid-November, when the players return for pre-season.

I think the older players get a bit of extra time off. Byron Bay is nice at this time of the year.

They've been off for nearly 6 weeks. Early/mid November sounds about right.
