Preparations ramped up ahead of Sydney Derby X as the players hit the track under sunny skies at the SCG.

The Sydney Swans do battle with GWS at Sportless Stadium in the 10th instalment of the cross-town clash.

Up for grabs is the White Ribbon Cup, all in support of Australia's only male-driven campaign to prevent men's violence against women.

Also, best-on-ground wins the Brett Kirk Medal. Enough said.

Wednesday's weather was warmly welcomed, providing the boys a chance to stretch the legs after a tough hitout in atrocious conditions against Gold Coast.
