Looking at these photos no one can question whether Pickett trained in his time away. Looks really trimmed and fit. 

AFL 2021 Training Melbourne

[Pickett2Jackson 3,904]

Kozzies new hair is magnificent.

 Salem, Melk, Ben Brown and Hibbo all in action.,.. injury list should look a lot smaller soon with any luck.

[Little Goffy 13,937]

Pickett is looking downright sinewy in some of those.  Not often sinews are a testament to good character but clearly we've got a kid who takes his training seriously here.

Kozzies hairstyle makes him look a good few cms taller. He can now safely go into the midfield.

Ben Brown not far away by the looks...

[forever demons 2,206]

Brown looks like hes good to go,might be a smokey for rd1

Steven May with footy in hand is the best sight to see out of all those pics.

Good. Because, without putting too much pressure on the kid, and at the risk of hyperbole,  i reckon kozzie is in our top 10 most important players.

Without him we are next to hopeless in terms of pressure inside our 50, which is one of the most important/impactful factors in footy.

Good to see Viney appears to be training and not in rehab

[Demonland 70,166]

Are these new training jumpers?

[DeeSpencer 24,673]

Kozzie is 19 and skinny, I'm not convinced photos alone provide any real evidence of how much training he did or didn't do. I also don't really care, he's back, he looks happy enough and his hair looks great.\

Good to see so many under the injury cloud out there.

Bowey's gone with the game day haircut.

No idea yet if he can play but Deakyn Smith looks like he'll be a very strong boy when he matures.

Is there something wrong with Bedford's handball technique?

I like that Yze is giving Viney advice. He could be the difference for our whole setup success..

It is good to see - I am positive that he has reams of advice for Viney - but will Viney be able to interpret what is said?

Thanks for the photos DL. A couple of random thoughts on them:

• I'm no doctor but May, Viney, Brown and Melksham look good to go
• the photos of Kozzie in the air are a bit deceptive - he is actually 80 feet up
• not sure why they are allowing hunt to kick
• salem is gym shy 
• Spallow look like he he is about to sort crying coz i cant get his name right

I agree. The best photos by far were seeing the group pay attention to Yze. No fingers exploring orrifices either 

[dazzledavey36 52,648]

Melksham, Salem, Viney all training in footy boots.. 

That's a sign that they are close to playing.

That’s a big moth !

I think Mr Burns told him to shave off his sideburns.

How many targets did he miss?

Theory...Tommy Mac’s marking is all wrong. His fingers are pointing up too much and he needs to wrap them around the ball more and let the ball come deeper towards his thumbs. Compare and contrast with Nick Riewoldt

Going from the pictures, Big Ben trained in sneakers, might not be ready to train in boots. Doesn’t look like he joined in the main session.

Could be wrong just my observation.

So true but as Richmond has shown, forward pressure is created by a number of willing participants.

They don't even have to be that good - Richmond's small forwards are all pretty average but they have a number of them that are willing to play the role.

I'm pumped for round one and I'm hoping - for the first time in recent memory - we choose three small forwards.

Again he has been considered diffficult to coach I got that from last years coaches.
