The Sydney Swans descended on Circular Quay on Tuesday to celebrate the start of the new season.

With Round 1 mere days away, the likes of Luke Parker, Kurt Tippett and Nick Smith took the opportunity to mix with fans in one of Sydney's most popular hot spots.

Inflatable goals were set up which kept kids (and adults) entertained while the players welcomed photos and autographs, fans and onlookers walking away with a skip in their step and a new t-shirt thanks to sponsors Centrum.

Cast your eyes over the best photos from the festivities below.

Gary Rohan and Sam Naismith LOOOOOOVE a selfie.

Parks, Tippo and Gaz mingled with fans all morning.

Time for this photographer to hang up the lens. Parks did a fine job of this one!

Cyggy was a popular figure around Circular Quay!

The Daily Telegraph wanted a piece of the action - Buddy (the little man on Parks' shoulders) was a willing participant.

Did someone say free tickets???

Thumbs up for Round 1!

Looks like we've got a new fan!
