THE BOYS are back in town.

Season 2020 officially began at Ikon Park on Monday, with the first to fourth-year Blues returning for the opening day of pre-season.

And while pre-season may be known for physical sessions in sweltering heat, it was the Melbourne rain which greeted the youngsters for their first hitout.

Here are the best photos from the first session.
