The Demons hit the road for their last practice hit out before the start of the 2026 AFL Premiership season when they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

According to Chaplin towards the end of this interview Max should be back to take on the Tigers as well as Petty. CJ & Salem are expected to play the full game.

Does anybody know Melksham's injury? No one has said anything.

I'm going to Ballarat with a Richmond supporter should be good.

I think another 80 pts touch up is on the cards and the recipient will be ooze's chargers.

Melksham has been back in full training for several weeks and took part in last week’s intraclub match. He was also on the track on Wednesday, so unless there’s been a new setback or recurrence, he was probably just managed this week. I’d expect him to line up against the Tigers.
