Photos: Thursday training
Darren Jolly and the other Magpies took to Gosch's Paddock in the lead up to Sunday's clash with Gold Coast.
A crisp and foggy morning in Melbourne developed into bright sunshine just in time for the players to hit the track. Chris Tarrant continued his comeback from a calf injury, while the usual suspects in Steele Sidebottom and Scott Pendlebury showed the reasons for their brilliant starts to 2012.
Ruckman Darren Jolly addressed the media ahead of his 50th game in the black and white. Jolly has only played in eight losses in his time at the Westpac Centre after crossing from Sydney.
