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: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
