Collingwood held its main training session on Wednesday morning at Gosch's Paddock ahead of the round 17 blockbuster against Carlton.

Jarryd Blair spoke to the media before the session commenced and discussed his recent good form and the club's state ahead of Saturday afternoon's sold out match.

Also, senior coach Mick Malthouse made a statement on the passing of coaching legend Allan Jeans.

During the training session, all eyes were on the fitness of Dale Thomas and Alan Didak.

Thomas and Didak both worked out with the group before media were asked to leave the closed session.

Stay tuned to CTV to watch Blair and Malthouse make their comments this morning.
