Six weeks stuck at home seems like a lifetime right now, but we’ve got you covered for daily entertainment.

Lockdown Life, a digital subscriber special, will give you a five minute brain break each day from coronavirus and arm you with some handy tips as well on keeping the family busy with movies to watch and bike rides to enjoy, and the adults well stocked with wine and recipes ideas — just to name a few.

So keep an eye out each lunchtime online.

Today we share some photos of how our favourite footy players are spending time in the AFL’s interstate hubs.
