PREPARATIONS for the 2027 season are well and truly underway.
Monday marked the first day of pre-season for first-to-fourth-year players at clubs who missed finals in 2026.
Just 44 days after Brisbane beat Fremantle in a classic Grand Final, players hit the track on Monday.
And in the next fortnight, they will be joined by several new faces, with the Telstra AFL Draft to be held on November 19-20.
Check out some of the pre-season action below.
