Melbourne's AFL stars and fans have taken the internet by storm with a hilarious video campaign for the Demons' 2026 membership drive. The video, set in a restaurant, features a range of self-deprecating humor and satirical references to past losses. Titus O'Reily, Russel Howcroft, and Hamish Blake all make appearances, with Blake famously claiming he's "still skiing in Europe." Club great Nathan Jones chimes in to call out the team's soft attitude, while ex-Hawk Changkuoth Jiath and ex-Pie Brody Mihocek offer praise for the club's colors and fans, respectively. The video also includes a cameo from Kysaiah and Latrelle Pickett, with Pickett humorously suggesting the Demons' next flag might come in 2028. Meanwhile, the Blues are in a state of flux, with recruiting manager Mick Agresta leaving after eight years, and assistant coach Aaron Hamill among others departing. The Bulldogs, on the other hand, are reportedly eyeing a 26-year-old prospect for a spot on their senior list, with the player having trained with the AFL group over summer. And finally, Melbourne youngster Kalani White has returned home to Queensland to recover from glandular fever, with the ruck-forward expected to return to the team in the coming weeks.
