MELBOURNE has named a 26-player squad to face Adelaide this Sunday at Thomas Farms Oval.

With a number of Demons sidelined due to injury, Melbourne has called upon Casey VFLW players Lauren Jatczak and Madi Ibrahim to feature in the practice match.

This is the second hit-out of the 2025 pre-season following the Dees’ game against Hawthorn last Saturday in which the red and blue claimed a 34-point victory.
