Collingwood held a training session for just under an hour at Patersons Stadium on Thursday afternoon ahead of the round 23 clash against Fremantle.

Several hundred supporters turned out to watch Mick Malthouse lead the traveling group of players through several non contact drills.

Voices were high as the group worked around the ground with the centre square covered and off limits.

Two emergencies including Cameron Wood and John McCarthy traveled and trained with the side on the ground.

Chris Dawes worked out for the full duration and finished with set shots at goal before joining his teammates on the boundary line signing autographs and posing for pictures.

The team headed back to the hotel for dinner and team meetings before Friday night's contest against the Dockers.
