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.

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

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

    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.

    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

    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.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
