This week, the 2026 Toyota AFL Premiership Season kicks off with Opening Round, and it's set to be the most tense reunion tour in Australian sport: former teammates facing off against each other, ex-club legends returning to their old stomping grounds, and enough drama to fill a season of reality TV.
