The Sydney Swans' passionate Redback Members joined players in the SCG's Steve Waugh Room for the annual pre-season Cocktail Party.

Hosted by on-ground announcer Lucy Polkinghorne on Wednesday, members rubbed shoulders with their favourite Swans during the special night which helped mark the start of the upcoming season.

It was there opportunity to meet up with their sponsored player, grab a photo, get their exclusive merchandise signed and talk about the upcoming season.

Captain Josh Kennedy helped kick off the night by addressing the 150-strong crowd, thanking the members for their generosity and support ahead of what the skipper described as "an exciting year for the Club."

Then it was chairman Andrew Pridham's turn to thank those in attendance for their unwavering support.

"We have some of the most passionate supporters in this room with us tonight," he said.

Following Pridham's welcome, young gun Callum Mills and emerging defender Colin O'Riordan were invited on stage for a few questions on their respective journeys so far.

Then it was on to some fun with a game of heads or tails. After a series of questions around Mills and Riordan, one winner walked away with a guernsey signed by the entire 2017 playing group thanks to partner Citi Bank.
