The second episode of our short documentary series, The Grind, will is now live on collingwoodfc.com.au for Pies members.

This episode centres around the AFL squad's 2km time trial, which was held at the Holden Centre on Monday morning.

It shows how the time trial can trigger anxiety in even veteran players like Steele Sidebottom. It also shows how the club is working hard to make sure the players are able to have a more relaxed, yet professional, attitude towards the time trial.

Sidebottom features prominently, as does fitness boss Kevin White and midfielder Tom Phillips, who on Monday lost his title as the club's time trial king when he finished second behind draftee Jay Rantall.
