Mad Monday is an Australian tradition, especially popular in team sports like Rugby League, Australian Rules Football, and Cricket. It takes place on the Monday after the end of the regular or post-season games. On this day, players, coaches, and support staff celebrate the end of the season by dressing up in outrageous costumes, often participating in pub crawls and team bonding activities. The day is a way for teams to unwind, reflect on the season, and strengthen camaraderie through humor and shared experiences. Despite sometimes causing controversy due to the antics involved, Mad Monday is cherished for its role in building team spirit and unity off the field.
