WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - CHRISTIAN SALEM

Roos might have to play Salem earlier than he wants to. We've got quite a few on our list who still need to prove themselves and if you couple that with the usual run of injuries, I'm tipping he'll debut quite early (round 6? 8?)

Don't reckon it'll hurt Christian either if he's used properly (and you'd reckon Roos will know how to use a young draftee properly) Perhaps as the sub for 3 or 4 games? Running off half back? In principle, I agree with Roos' stance but we don't have the same structure as the good teams - we're miles off. If Salem doesn't play at all in the seniors this season, I'll be quite surprised.

He's got a bit of talent and he'll probably force his way into the side. It's more about who'll keep him out.

    I'd like to see Salem’s Revenge taken on $AUDcully in the Rnd 21 clash... later this season.

    Where is Byron Pickett when you need him....

    I think you are right 'Macca', the kid has got a bit of talent and uses the ball well.

    My only concern is that Salem has a chance to develop properly .

    If this doesn't happen then the discussion around Salem could easily turn into a Witch hunt.

    I agree with your comment in spirit.

    I dunno,but I hope he gets a good chance this year. I went to training twice this week and he appears to be not partaking in some of the main drills, but what I have seen him do has been impressive

But in a repeat of Round 11, Brisbane proved too strong, too fit, and too relentless.  They brought their kicking boots: 9 goals, 2 points.

      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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • 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.
