Swans fans came out in force today, showing up to Lakeside Oval in their red and white for the first open training session of 2018.

Hot and sunny conditions greeted both the fans and players as the boys put in another solid session on the track in front of the adoring crowd.

As players finished up their training commitments, they signed autographs and posed for photos with the fans who had the chance to meet their idols in the flesh.

With only 65 days until Round 1 there are certainly positive vibes around as the countdown to season 2018 continues.

Check out some images from today's open training below.

Buddy, always popular amongst the fans!

As is this man... we heard "Mark, mark, mark.... Rohan" a few times today!

This little guy sums up the feeling of the morning!
