New St Kilda recruit Brad Hill is confident as little as three weeks back at training would be enough before recommencing the AFL season.
The AFL shut down the season after just one round last month due to the current coronavirus pandemic, with all players forced to train at home while waiting for a return date.
The season is expected to start again in the coming months, albeit behind closed doors for the foreseeable future.
Hill, who moved from Fremantle to the Saints in the off-season, said he’d be happy restarting the season after just three weeks of preparation.
"Personally I think (three weeks is) enough," Hill told the Sunday Footy Show.
"If you keep doing the program the clubs have set out for us over this period and keep fit, it shouldn't be any dramas at all.
"We have done a big pre-season over the last 12 weeks or whatever it was.
"If we can just maintain that fitness and come back and have a three-week training period I reckon we should be good to go."
AFL CEO Gillon McLachlan is scheduled to provide an update on the season next week, with the league “optimistic” of naming a return to play date by the end of April.
