Christian Salem

[Curry & Beer 5,444]

pure class

[DistrACTION Jackson 8,503]

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

[At Least I Saw a Flag 5,218]

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.

The heck d’ya mean?

Crap post. He was so smooth down back.

You have zero manners.

Welcome to the Internet.

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

[Gorgoroth 12,916]

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.

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.

And now he's out with the flu.

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.

Bugger. Was so looking forward to seeing him play again.
