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: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
