After a long wait, the new AFL season is now just around the corner. Round 1 is scheduled to start on March 16th, but footy fans will get a glimpse of what’s to come in 2023 a lot earlier than that.
All 18 clubs are each set to play one official AFL practice match over the weekend beginning March 2nd. These are the final warm up games before we get into the AFL season proper, so you can expect to see all the big stars and young guns in action.
