Melbourne has re-signed eight young players, with Oskar Baker and Alex Neal-Bullen headlining the re-signings.
Baker and Neal-Bullen have both signed two-year extensions, while Joel Smith, Josh Wagner, Kade Chandler, Kyle Dunkley, Jay Lockhart and Corey Wagner have all put pen to paper on one-year extensions.
It means the Demons now have just four players off contract at season's end, with Austin Bradtke, Sam Frost, Jay Kennedy Harris and Billy Stretch all without deals for 2020.
