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

  • REPORT: Carlton

    The text messages started flooding in shortly after quarter time. One read: “Is Melbourne even at the ground?” Moments later, as Carlton’s Elijah Hollands kicked the first goal of the second term, the Blues held a commanding 43-point lead. By then, the Demons’ only score was a behind kicked by Brody Mihocek nearly five minutes into the game. Ironically, Mihocek would also register the last minor score of the day after the game took a dramatic turnaround.
