SEVERAL players have gone under the knife for a post-season "cleanout" after another gruelling year on the big stage.
But not everyone will be ready for the start of pre-season. Find out how your club's injury list is tracking ahead of the 2013 campaign.
ADELAIDE
Jared Petrenko is the only concern for the beaten preliminary finalists.
Petrenko has had reconstructive shoulder surgery which the club expects has a five-month recovery process.
He's expected to miss much of pre-season, but the Crows are hopeful he'll be approaching full fitness by Round 1.
BRISBANE
The surgeon has been busy at the Gabba with Jed Adcock (hip), James Polkinghorne (shoulder), Matt Maguire (ankle) and Ash McGrath (wrist) all having had operations.
But the good news is that the Lions expect them, and all others, to be back on the track running for the start of their pre-season on November 5.
CARLTON
Surgery has condemned midfielder Marc Murphy, ruckman Matthew Kreuzer and knee victim Andrew McInnes to make late starts to pre-season preparations.
Murphy had operations on the left shoulder and right knee and Kreuzer needed more surgery on the left knee.
McInnes won't resume playing until May. The young defender had a knee reconstruction after injuring a knee in the last home-and-away round.
Marcus Davies (shoulder) and Levi Casboult (lacerated kidney) will be ready for the start of the summer fitness program.
COLLINGWOOD
Tall forward Jackson Paine is the only Magpie to have gone under the knife.
Paine, who played six games in his debut season, had major shoulder surgery after being injured late in the year.
He's expected to be sidelined for 10-12 weeks and will be a late starter when pre-season training starts.

ESSENDON
Several minor surgeries at Windy Hill, but none that should interrupt the Bombers' pre-season campaign.
Michael Hurley (wrist), Paddy Ryder (shoulder), Heath Hocking (shoulder) and Travis Colyer (thumb) will all be raring to go.
The Bombers are also hopeful that ankle surgeries to both Jake Carlisle and Tom Bellchambers will also be right so neither misses any time.
FREMANTLE
(Chose not to supply information)
GEELONG
The Cats headed to their break with only a couple of minor surgical appointments.
Captain Joel Selwood (finger) and midfielder James Kelly (hip) have already gone under the knife but won't miss any pre-season activities.
GOLD COAST
Jackson Allen (groin), Jaeger O'Meara (groin), Luke Russell (shoulder), Alex Sexton (hip) and Seb Tape (knee) had operations either before the end of the home-and-away season or shortly after the finish of the Suns' 2012 campaign.
Experienced key defender Nathan Bock (fractured right tibia) is expected to start light training before the Christmas break.
GWS
Ruckman Jon Patton (shoulder) and key forward Jeremy Cameron, placed third in the new club's first best and fairest count, head a list of seven young Giants sent for post-season operations.
All are expected to be ready to start a second pre-season program.

HAWTHORN
A few operations for the runners-up, headed by stabilisation surgery on the left knee of captain Luke Hodge, who has a damaged posterior cruciate ligament.
Vice-captain Jordan Lewis has had a minor operation on his shoulder, while Jarryd Roughead and Shaun Burgoyne have each had work on ankle ailments.
MELBOURNE
Clint Bartram's ongoing experimental knee surgery is still being monitored, while Jamie Bennell's knee reconstruction is progressing well and it is hoped he will be available early in 2013.
Max Gawn's knee is fully healed and he's right for a full pre-season, as is Aaron Davey (foot).
Cale Morton (shoulder) will be on a modified program until Christmas, while key forward Mitch Clark is progressing well with his foot injury.
Jack Fitzpatrick has had a post-season ankle "cleanout".
NORTH MELBOURNE
Good news at Arden St with only Leigh Adams on the table. He has had operations to both shoulders, but is likely to be the only Kangaroo on a modified pre-season program.
PORT ADELAIDE
John Butcher has had work done on his hips and Brent Renouf had a procedure on his knee (patella), but both should be running before Christmas.
Daniel Stewart (shoulder and hip) and Darren Pfeiffer (shoulder) also went under the knife and will be eased into training.
Tom Jonas had a tidy-up on his knee and is expected to be running by the end of October while Robbie Gray is continuing his rehabilitation from an ACL injury.

RICHMOND
Jake King has had work on foot, wrist and posterior cruciate ligament ailments. Had a slight set-back with his foot last week, but should join training in December.
Tyrone Vickery is already working out in the gym after having a "tighten-up" on both shoulders.
Brett Deledio has had a tidy-up on one knee, while Brad Helbig is expected to be running by December after a clean-up on his foot.
ST KILDA
Best-and-fairest winner Lenny Hayes is making good progress after surgery on a leaky heart valve and will start running in the next week.
Captain Nick Riewoldt is also on track after an end-of-season knee "clean-up".
Sam Fisher is progressing well after toe surgery while Sam Gilbert (shoulder), Adam Schneider (foot), Sean Dempster (adductor) and Ahmed Saad (sinus) have also had procedures, but all will be ready for the start of the pre-season.
SYDNEY
The only surgery required for the premier was on Irishman Tommy Walsh who had a shoulder reconstruction the week after the Grand Final.
Adam Goodes (knee) and Shane Mumford (hamstring) have both escaped the knife and are instead undergoing rehab.
WEST COAST
Brad Sheppard has had "clean-up" surgery on an ankle, but no other notable operations.
Long-term injuries to Mark LeCras (knee), Josh Kennedy (ankle), Mark Nicoski (hamstring) and Andrew Embley (shoulder) are said to be all recovering well.
WESTERN BULLDOGS
Only forward-cum-ruckman Tom Campbell has had post-season surgery - a "cleanout" of an ankle that should have him fully fit in time to do a complete pre-season.
Surgeries before season's end to Mark Austin (wrist), Tom Williams (ankle), and Jack Redpath (arm) will not restrict them for the pre-season while Luke Dahlhaus (ankle) and Dale Morris (broken leg) will also be ready to hit the ground running.
