The Grind has been long and hard.
From November 8 until the 22nd of December, Collingwood's players have been punished in the heat on the training track, as well as in the sweat-soaked weights room inside the Holden Centre.
But you won't find a single person complaining.
In a final push before the Christmas break, the young, enthusiastic list descended on the gym.
This was different to a normal session however - everyone looked like a fool.
The weights were heavy and the banter was high. And Collingwood Media was on hand to capture the best (and worst) of funky hats day at the Holden Centre. 
Jack Crisp gets into character.

Reidy and Steelo like it's just another day at the office.
Yes, Blairy!
You know you've made it when you impress long-standing strength and conditioning coach Mick Dugina.
Embrace #TheGrind, enjoy the company.
Funky hats take over Holden Centre
The last weights session of the season was one to be taken seriously. Only problem was, it was a little bit hard to do so with some headwear reaching far beyond anyone's imagination.
