Emerging midfielder Nick Robertson has carried on from a promising 2015, taking out the Club's first time trial of the pre-season.

The West Australian set the pace early in the Lions' three-kilometre run at the Brisbane Army Barracks on Monday afternoon in hot and windy conditions.

Marco Paparone, along with recruits Tom Bell and Ryan Bastinac rounded out the top four. 

Today also marked the return of the Club's senior players.

Not all players participated in today's time trial.
