The countdown is on to the start of the 2025 AFL season, as clubs are putting the finishing touches on their preparations.
Following a host of unique contests in the first round of match simulations, all 18 sides will return to a traditional format in the upcoming Community Series.
Teams will be announced by 5:30pm (AEDT) the day prior to the match, with coaches likely to pick their season-opening sides in the final tune-up of the pre-season.
We have you covered on every squad announcement for the pre-season as they're announced...
All times listed are local.
