OFFICIALLY, Carlton's senior players are to return next Monday.
That didn't stop them from joining their younger teammates on Wednesday morning.
Joining Will Setterfield, Jack Silvagni, Sam Walsh and Jacob Weitering were Patrick Cripps, Sam Docherty, Marc Murphy and Mitch McGovern for the first time in pre-season.
New Blue Jack Newnes was also there, too.
Here are the best snaps from training at Ikon Park.
