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

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

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

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.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp. DEMONLAND'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS It’s going to be a scorcher today but I’m in the shade at Gosch’s Paddock ready to bring you some observations from the final session before the Preseason Training Camp next week.  Salem, Fritsch & Campbell are already on the track. Still no number on Campbell’s

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
