Friday's cool change was warmly welcomed by the Sydney Swans' playing group during Friday's pre-season training session at Lakeside Oval.
Some cloud cover and a strong breeze made for more comforting conditions compared to Wednesday's 37-degree heat.
While the weather may have eased the intensity of the session certainly didn't as the guys were put through a series of drills - both fitness and skills based.
Sydney Swans Media was boundary side with the camera on hand.
