Steele Sidebottom, , Dayne Beams, Jarrad Blight and Luke Rounds participated in their second training session as Collingwood players at Gosch’s Paddock.
The team hit the Paddock around 9:30 am without Harry O’Brien, Ben Johnson, Paul Medhurst and Anthony Rocca who were all working on weight programs in the gym.
The five new players (including Leigh Brown) were not the only new additions to the team.
It was clear that new assistant coach, Paul Hudson, has brought some of his Brisbane training drills to his new club.
The team worked in groups of four, squaring-off to practice kicking on quick turns as well as on the run. John Anthony, Rounds, Luke Beveridge (development coach) and Brown had the drill under control within the first few sets.
They then dispersed into two sides and had a 45 minute scrimmage where the four new draftees worked with Beveridge on handball drills.
After the session completed, all five draftees faced the press back inside the Lexus Centre for the first time as Collingwood players.
