There is no good end to this story. We were lucky he did re-sign back in 2010, because we would be paying $350,000 for a "VFL" player - he has either sidelined for part of this year and even struggled to make the SANFL firsts. I am sure we are still better then a SA side, and given that, he would struggle - we have Casey at the top of the VFL.

    Textbook uneducated post.

    Salopek, whilst not being selected in the AFL side, was expected by Port to be playing SANFL firsts and pushing for a senior recall.

    The counterproductive SANFL / AFL club agreement meant Salopek's SANFL club was unwilling to play him and demote one of their players who filled the same role, in the search for SANFL wins and a finals berth (their priority over playing a Port-listed player into form).

    He's not the best player getting around, but he was definitely a victim of the circumstances.

    You cant play into form in the magoo's magoo's, will be hard to step up VFL/SANFL - AFL imo yet another step back

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.
