Collingwood began its 2012/2013 pre-season on Wednesday morning and CTV was there to capture all the colour from the session at Gosch's Paddock.

Defender Nathan Brown, sporting a nice moustache during the month of Movember, spoke to CTV after the session and was upbeat about the hard slog that awaits the players.

Watch Nathan Brown explain the first session of the pre-season on CTV in the video above.
