We’re still 62 days away from the 2023 AFL season kicking off, but fans are making sure to keep a close eye on their teams throughout the summer.
The most feared pre-season session for a lot of footballers is the time trial run, which is often used as a marker of how fit players have returned from their Christmas break.
