FROM Dees in dusty deserts to lush coastal beaches, Melbourne made the most of the off-season period to rest and rejuvenate.
With the November 26 pre-season return date for first-to-fourth year players fast approaching, most Demons are back on home soil and preparing for the season ahead.
All players will be back on deck officially by December 5, including some new recruits who will be picked up at the NAB AFL National Draft on the 28th and 29th of November.
Reigning best-and-fairest Clayton Oliver and defender Christian Salem linked up in Portugal as the duo took some time time refresh their batteries ahead of the 2023 season.
Max Gawn and his family ventured to Italy.
Christian Petracca also headed to Europe, where the midfielder and his partner were engaged.
New Demon Brodie Grundy headed to Morocco and saw the Sahara.
Angus Brayshaw saw plenty of football of a different kind during his time in Spain and Italy.
Ben Brown kept things local with a trip back home to Tasmania, as did Jake Lever who lapped up the sun on Daydream island with his family.
Young midfielder Tom Sparrow was also in Europe, seeing the best that the continent has to offer.
