Great debut. I'd keep him as sub though and continue to ease him in.

I'd of kept him in the VFL all year.

But no sub, if he is in now, play him.

He is hard as nails, I just thought Roos would want to sift through a few before hand.

He looked so clean and classy tonight. Could have had more of the ball if his teammates hadn't stuffed up a few passes and made bad decisions. He doesn't just use it well, he looked to be presenting in the right places and he put his body in when he needed to. Basically everything we need in a young player.

We were all salivating after Cale Morton's first few games. But I'm joining the queue with the salivation on this guy.

Tyson plus Salem should equal Kelly...hopefully. But we need to overturn our list as quick as we can, and there is no better way than getting 2 great players (incl. possible star); for a potential probable star...

The only thing I'd say is that he looked to be blowing at the end. Still, first game nervous energy will do that IMO.

looks like Roosys first draft has been a success (yeah i know its Todd Vineys draft but Roos would have had input)

early days but Salem and JKH both looking legit

One of the best things I saw was him run last the player with the ball and put a shepherd on, not ask for the 2 meter handball so many do.

Ps, Barrett you are a FLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHGGGGGGGGG

Looked like he belonged immediately. Super promising.

How good was it to see the whole team get around him after his first goal?

That was great. His evasion in that piece of play was top notch, too.

Play him full games now, he was calm under pressure and that goal he kicked was great, very unlucky not to have a 2nd goal. He had a handy 6 touches and took 3 marks. He took more marks in a quarter and a half then Nic Nat has taken in 4 matches. Sorry couldnt help myself.

But so far he looks like he belongs. Its good having the number 3 out there again.

So many Melbourne guys ran around the ball tonight.

Salem went straight at it and had good hands.

his shepherd was great. AMazing how holes open up around the contest when you take the ball or a man out.

In such a dour game with an unfortunately inevitable result, his cameo was surely a reason to support this team.

Well done Salem.

Looks Hard, Sharp and Hungry.

Great body size too, gonna be a solid unit in a couple of years.

More please!

I suppose the number 3 didn't help and maybe it was just the angle I saw it from (the Ponsford stand), but when Salem kicked that goal, just for the briefest of moments, I seriously thought I was watching Gary Lyon

Watts out and Salem in, straight swap.

Give him a few more full games then send him back to the VFL if necessary (ala Michie), but see if he has what it takes.

If we get Riley in next week too, will be a very hard fought match indeed.

Salem's already in.

I think he should be a sub for another couple of games to get hid confidence up. We Did enter the game in the last quarter when every other player has tried out and the game was already over.

He did play a very good quieter of football though. Very hard at it which I like and good second effort.

    TRAINING: Friday 6th December 2024

    Some veteran Demonland Trackwatchers ventured down to Gosch's Paddock to bring you the following observations from another Preseason Training Session. WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders. Windsor's run won't be lost playing off half back. In 19 games in 2024 he kicked 8 goals as a winger. I see him getting shots at g

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
