MELBOURNE players asked to leave the Boxing Day test last week will face the Demons' coaching staff next week.

The Dees' first and second-year players returned to training this morning after some time off for Christmas.

But the trio who spent a boozy day in the rowdy Bay 13 section of the MCG - James Frawley, Lynden Dunn and rising star Jeremy Howe - will return to training on Monday.

The three Dees drew the attention of security and were asked to leave the ground after clashing with fellow spectators.

They attended the first day of the second test against Sri Lanka with former teammates Geelong's Jared Rivers and new Tiger Ricky Petterd.

Rivers and Petterd were also photographed in ugly exchanges with fans.

Frawley, one of Melbourne's best players, is a part of the club's leadership group.

It is unknown if the Dees football chiefs will penalise the players.

The Demons are in the process of responding to the AFL's tanking investigation.
