I agree. He was playing really well off half back and is one of our best distributors.

I can see him playing the majority of his career behind the ball with stints in the middle and forward like Hodge.

He is almost identical to Luke Hodge in the way he goes about it.

    The fact that we’ve won a few games without Christian Salem has made a few people forget how good he was for us earlier in the year.

    Massive in.

    Don't forget the golden ticket factor though

    He's a ripper. But he's missed a fair bit of footy, so I don't think we can expect too much from him for the rest of the season.

    I seem to remember Dazzledavey36 writing off Salem in his first season... and yet he loves to stick the boots into everyone else for their opinions lol

    Anyone that knows anything about footy could tell Salem was going to be a gun from the first game he played

    Stop fighting plz

    I never said he wasn't good down back in an attacking sense, still not great on a pure defensive sense.

    Plus with Vanders and Tyson out we need better users around the middle and forward of the ball.

    You have zero manners.

    He/she obviously has nothing else to contribute. His/hers reasons why it was a crap post was... Enlightening.

    Put my hand up and ate my fair share of humble pie because of it after his performance this year. Now whats your point?

    Unlike you who is just a silly old fool who talks up every player on our list then turns on them at every quick opportunity is seriously quite pathetic.

    I'm always willing to cop my wack on the chin and admit to whatever fault i have done in the past. Its no wonder people don't take you serious on here.

    Btw loved how you had a cry last night saying i have supposedly given you cheap shots? when i come on here to have a read and see you want to take another wack at me LOL

    Your a full blown hypocrit HH.

    Btw to every other normal person who reads this i sincerely apologize this might have derailed this thread a tad.

    Im excited to finally have someone back into the side that is genuinely very classy with the ball in hand. If he plays the remaining 4 games that takes him to 23 games in his first 2 years which is not a bad effort at all. Next year i think we will slowly see him spend more time in the midfield. His hardness and class is too good to be used down back.

    Until we find someone who can play a similar role, I really like Salem off half back. His foot skills are arguably most useful in that area of the ground, where we are sorely lacking. Can't wait to see him back in action tomorrow and it's hard to believe he's only played 22 games.

    Thats why i hope we recruit a talented half back flanker in the mould of Kade Kardashian from GC who can set up play off a half back with pin point foot skills to release Salem up the field.

    i haven't followed this years draft as much as i have in the past so maybe Chaserjay could give us a run down of players who could fit that bill.

    You like to refer to people's posts as 'nonsense' - I don't really see the difference.

    Salem is the best user of the ball in our team!!!

    I think Riley Bonner is of that mould, Hawks apparently want him. Would be good to use a later pick on him.

    Have to say I've been the same about the draft this year, for the first time in a long time. It's refreshing not having to think about who I want us to take at pick one or two! Kolash would be a great get, was hoping we'd draft him.

    Exact reason why i haven't followed the draft either.. and also that its that shallow that theres not a real standout player that gets me excited like a Brayshaw or Petracca last year.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
