UPDATE: JACK Trengove is backing Melbourne's processes as his club refuses to publicly answer questions about alleged links to controversial sports scientist Stephen Dank.

"We're very confident in the process that the club's undertaken and we're going forward from here. We've got a game to play this weekend, can't wait to get out there," Trengove told reporters as he left the training track on Saturday morning.

The Demons co-captain was named in alleged text messages between Dank and club doctor Dan Bates, which were published by the ABC.

Bates was stood down on Friday night after being summoned to AFL House for a lengthy meeting with League officials.

Sports performance director Neil Craig was asked whether he'd had any dealings with Dank, as alluded to in the alleged text exchange, but said he could not comment.

"I can't make any comment on any of that, there's obviously an inquiry in place," Craig told reporters.

Both ASADA and the AFL are now investigating.

The Demons remain a club under siege after a disastrous start to the season.

Earlier the players emerged from their AAMI Park headquarters united in a tight group for their match-eve training session at Gosch's paddock.

This latest crisis comes after three devastating losses, chief executive Cameron Schwab's forced resignation and the tanking scandal.
Schwab is believed to be overseas.

Unlike Essendon, which had its coach, president and chief executive front a news conference on the day the supplements scandal broke, Melbourne said it had nothing to more to say.

The players trained ahead of Sunday's clash with Greater Western Sydney at the MCG.

Jack Watts took to the track, minus his beard, which had become a talking point among fans and commentators.

Watts has been named in the 22, having sat out last week. Watts didn't get the opportunity to find form in the VFL, instead watching from the sidelines as an emergency for the seniors.
