Look into Collingwood's inner sanctum through a photo journal of the Pies' first main training day in its entirety ahead of their Preliminary Final next weekend.
No space was left untouched to give the Magpie Army a never-before-seen look inside the four walls of Collingwood.
1/30: The day begins with some 'prehab' and, of course, Scott Pendlebury is in the thick of it. This is what 424 games looks like.
2/30: For the early risers, a main training day always begins with a skills session on the indoor oval.
It's great to see Lachie Sullivan with the brace off his knee and advancing in his recovery from a PCL injury.
3/30: Always side by side.
4/30: Inside the team meeting ahead of main training. Senior Coach Craig McRae rallies his troops.
5/30: Darcy Cameron, Steele Sidebottom and Harry DeMattia tune in.
6/30: From the meeting room to the physio, the walls are a constant reminder of Collingwood's ethos.
7/30: The team gets prepared for training with some strapping and treatment. Mason Cox has his shoulder strapped.
8/30: Jack Crisp receives a neck tickle. The price of 261 consecutive matches.
9/30: The boot enthusiast selects today's wheels.
10/30: Time to hit the track. Assistant Coach Scott Selwood addresses the team.
11/30: The warm-up consisted of racing an opponent to 'capture the flag'.
12/30: The AIA Vitality Centre in all its glory.
13/30: The coach watches over his troops.
14/30: Forward Charlie West weaves and winds. He's returned to full training this week after sustaining a foot injury in Round 16.
15/30: Practice makes perfect. Jamie Elliott's secret to 56 goals in 2025. So far.
16/30: It's imperative to get some body contact without a match this week.
17/30: Bobby Hill celebrates on the track.
18/30: Two thirds of the 2014 draft class after their starring performances in last week's Qualifying Final win.
19/30: That'll do. Pendlebury and Brayden Maynard chat as they leave the training track.
20/30: A moment for McRae's Magpie Army. The coach loves the fans.
21/30: Lunch time. Refuelling after a lengthy main training session and ahead of gym.
22/30: Can't get through the day without a caffeine hit from the Glasshouse cafe. Beau McCreery replenishes his stocks.
23/30: Into the beef lab. Nick Daicos performs an incline dumbbell row.
24/30: The biggest tree trunks in the AFL. Brody Mihocek uses the leg press.
25/30: Iron tunnel. Isaac Quaynor prepares to lunge.
26/30: Sullivan's happy to be back under the bar.
27/30: While the 'even' numbers use the gym, the 'odds' rotate through other tasks. Dan McStay attempts to knock down the bottle with a frisbee.
28/30: Patrick Lipinski and Dan Houston setup another game where participants use a beanbag to knock down cups.
29/30: After a track session and gym, Tom Mitchell takes a plunge.
30/30: Thanks for reading, Beau and Isaac.
