MELBOURNE'S legal team responded late yesterday to the AFL's tanking investigation and is now waiting to hear whether the league will lay any charges against the club.
Lawyers acting on the Demons' behalf lodged a response to the 1000-page report into suggestions Melbourne deliberately sought to lose games in 2009.
The report was compiled over a five-month period by AFL investigators Brett Clothier and Abraham Haddad and tabled six days before Christmas.
The league will decide this week whether Melbourne or any of its officials have committed any breaches relating to draft tampering and bringing the game into disrepute.
If so, it's up to the AFL commission to consider the matter at its next meeting in February.
Earlier in the day, Melbourne players gathered at the club for the 2013 team photo.
Coach Mark Neeld is buoyed by the new-look squad's preparation, and should have close to a full complement to choose from for the NAB Cup.
Mitch Clark (foot) and co-captain Jack Trengove might not return until closer to Round 1, while Ruckman Max Gawn has been placed on the long-term injury list with a hamstring tear that is expected to sideline him for two months.
Gawn missed the 2012 season due to a knee reconstruction.
Demons football manager Josh Mahoney said Gawn was "progressing well".
"We expect Max to return to playing football early in the season," Mahoney said.
