While there aren't many holes to fill in their list, Melbourne have consistently looked to experiment with who they send out on the track during Simon Goodwin's tenure.
Steven May, Jake Lever, Ed Langdon and Lachie Hunter have all been added in recent years and thrived in a set role when called upon.
Three of those names were part of their 2021 premiership run and even with the rock-solid lineup they now possess, we can still expect the Demons to make some moves and add to their premiership credentials.
Here are five targets Melbourne could have their sights on in the upcoming off-season trade period.
2. Jack Petruccelle
A move to collect Jack Petruccelle would make up for what Melbourne lost with the trade of Jayden Hunt, adding the extreme pace that most teams typically look for on the flank.
While it hasn't hurt them recently, Melbourne's lineup, barring Kysaiah Pickett and Trent Rivers, is relatively one-paced. An asset like Petruccelle may not seem like a valuable move at first glance, but we've seen what a player like Oleg Markov can do to a contender like Collingwood.
Petrucelle's explosion would excite Melbourne fans and impact their transition between defensive 50 and the forward third of the field, perhaps allowing them better forward entries in the process.

The Demons' defence is always rock-solid with the presence of May, Lever, Petty, Tomlinson and others holding the fort, and a player like Petrucelle could shift Melbourne into a side known more for their offensive power than defensive structure.
