THE Blues hit the track at Princes Park on Wednesday as they continue their preparations for the 2018 AFL premiership season.

With Carlton's AFLX (February 16) and JLT Community Series (February 28 and March 10) fast approaching, the players brought a strong focus and intensity to today's skills session.

The Blues will train in Melbourne next week, before heading to Tasmania for a five-day training camp.

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