CARLTON has today resumed its pre-season, taking to the unfamiliar surrounds of Lakeside Stadium for its first training session of 2018.

In dry, hot conditions, the Blues were put through their paces for the first time since their week-long training camp on the Sunshine Coast before Christmas.

Here's a selection of Carlton Media's snaps from the session:
