JORDAN De Goey is expected to resume training with Collingwood's main group next week, but has been definitively ruled out of taking part in AFLX.

The 22-year-old fan favourite would have been one of the first picked for the experimental format had he been available.

The Pies completed close to a two-hour session at Olympic Park on Monday morning, with the slight smell of smoke in the air in the wake of Victorian fires.

De Goey didn't take part in the drills, instead conducting his own program off to the side.

The boys turned it up a few notches on the training track this morning.

Darcy Moore left the track early after copping a head knock, but the club said it was only a precaution and he is expected to be fine.

FULL FIXTURE Every round, every game

Returning Magpie Dayne Beams was a notable absentee from the session, which included a large component of match simulation.

The club said later he was being managed.

Skipper Scott Pendlebury, who is a likely starter for AFLX given his previous support for an all-star concept, wore No.4 during the hit-out instead of his usual No.10.

Regular No.4 Brodie Grundy didn't participate, instead running, jogging and at times walking laps of the oval.

The star ruckman hurt his foot when it was stood on by teammate Jordan Roughead at training last month.

Jamie Elliott took full part in the match simulation, showing no signs of his pre-Christmas hamstring setback.

The Pies' first official pre-season match is a JLT Community Series clash against Fremantle in Joondalup on Monday March 4.
