The Demons are 'deeply embarrassed' by the incident, as it emerges Jake Melksham was injured in the fight.
Melksham is now unavailable for AFL selection for this weekend's blockbuster Queen's Birthday clash against Collingwood.
"What is more disappointing is that the injury keeping him out of the frame for selection is a result of the altercation Jake was involved in on Sunday evening. "I want to make it very clear that as a club, we do not condone violence of any manner, and the fact that our players allowed any disagreement to escalate to a physical level is completely unacceptable."The catalyst for the dust-up was a reported sledge from May about Melksham missing the 2021 grand final, which Melbourne won over the Western Bulldogs by 74 points.
