Ross didn't catch my eye which doesn't necessarily mean he didn't do anything, with half the list wearing bibs and plenty of hats for sun protection easy to miss stuff when you have 40 players to watch rather than the usual 22 in only 35 minute matchplay.
As far as how Ross looked, think PRE members will be rapt when they see him live and the shape he has come back in.

Our security man Steve was lax yesterday 
had a Herald Sun journo a few paces down from me that watched the whole session.
Have read his report, (which you can't see paywalled here), and it was a pretty accurate account except for not including RCD and Jack Ross in our "exceptional depth"
He even mentioned Baker's performance as i did so kudos to him for not getting blinded solely by the stars.

sorry we missed your input this time Caesar!
Hail!
If it’s the Steve I think you mean, he would have been all over it.Our security man Steve was lax yesterday

if he didn’t show him out, there would be a reason.
right Taz?
No, Steve wasn't even present roaming the fences that is why i said he was lax.
Clean bill? Premiers to hit 2020 in fine fettle

In a warning for the rest of the competition, the Tigers were missing only three senior players as they completed 35 minutes of match simulation in hot conditions at Punt Rd on Thursday.
Other than ruckman Toby Nankervis (groin), hard nut Jack Graham (shoulder) and rebounding defender Kamdyn McIntosh (ankle) all the big guns were out there with Dustin Martin playing about 70 per cent forward.
In the opening passage of play, skipper Trent Cotchin burst out of the centre square and hit the dual Norm Smith Medalist on the chest 30m out.
Even goal sneak Jack Higgins, who had a second bout of brain surgery last year, continued his remarkable recovery completing the whole session largely in the midfield.
Things are looking good for an early return for Higgins.
Grand Final hero Marlion Pickett showed he has more tricks than a brilliant blind turn, pulling out a wicked sidestep on another darting run down the middle early on in the piece.
Looking completely comfortable on the wing and in the centre square, the mature-age revelation looked like a man set to play 20 games in his second season of AFL in 2020.
What an incredible story he is, playing in a premiership in his only senior match.
But this year, Pickett seems almost certain to become a regular member of the senior team.
That’s despite the club’s ridiculous depth.
Sydney Stack and Shai Bolton both showed flare in the forward half yesterday, while livewire Liam Baker was another who was prominent off half back, seemingly taking up some of the slack from departed flanked Brandon Ellis.
Key defenders David Astbury, Nathan Broad and Dylan Grimes had things sorted down back as part of a defence which will be once again missing superstar Alex Rance.
Twin towers Jack Riewoldt and Tom Lynch led the forward set up alongside Martin, while Ivan Soldo took charge in the ruck as Nankervis completed run-throughs on the sidelines.
Nankervis and Graham are expected to be back in full training in coming weeks.

Thanks Caesar. When I saw your post pop up this morning, I had to go and make a cup of coffee to enjoy it!!
You mentioned our best backs played on the best forwards. Who came out on top? We have a really good backline but I'm intrigued as to whether our forward line is capable of beating the defence

I nearly had to have a cup of coffee and a smoke after i read it...
Believe they have a CLOSED session @ 8:30 tomorrow but no idea what sort of session it will be and i assume usual Monday and Thursday closed sessions next week starting from about 9:15am.
Fair dinkum Zips. Has PRE ever had a punter to surpass you that can dig up graves and split open coffins seeking ammunition for a thread?
Ceaser is fast becoming part of the tiger-fabric, sitting alongside Konrad Marshall.
Deserves to be shouted beers, alongside that bloke from Nelligen!

The defence held their own was a good battle but they would be glad they don't have to man up Dusty when he goes forward
