Collingwoodfc.com.au kept its cameras focused on Nathan Brown and Tyson Goldsack as they prepared for their first appearance of the season during Friday morning's training session.

Brown was a late withdrawal from the first round of the NAB Cup due to back stiffness, while Goldsack has now recovered from surgery on the ankle he originally injured back in round 19 last season.
