Christian Salem

Recommended Posts

Supposedly was one who tried to round up players to ignore any suggestions of tanking.....

just sayin

Good on him in that case.

But I'd agree with the quoted sentiment in regards to on-field leadership.

Always seemed more focused on trying to niggle the opposition.

You were bullied at school weren't you?

Not properly- there is still an heir of confidence that needs crushing.

Because he looks like Salem or because he wore number 3?

They should have got Clint Bizzell to present it!

Ahh because Garry Lyon was a former Melbourne champion player that wore number 3.. *facepalm*

A real leader would've dug his heels in and forced a change in culture. He's a pathetic sell-out.

Lets hope a rival company doesn't offer you twice your worth and double the normal contract as I am sure you would stay put.

Yes we were a rabble but $6m over 6 years! FFS let it go. He is gone.

This comment is why we are the laughing stock of the AFL.

Now you do understand that it is joke between a couple of guys who take the Mickey out of each other don't you Sambo06?

But how a crass joke makes us the laughing stock of the AFL I am not sure.

I think quite a few management people and a lot of poor players have achieved that result.

Don't believe a poor joke by Bbo has much to do with it.

I have to say I was impressed with his build on the weekend. For months I've heard that he was slightly built and would take a long time to get his body up to scratch. He looks a lot bigger than I expected. Add to that that his skills appear to be every bit as good as advertised and he's a lot harder at the ball than expected and I'm pretty damn happy.

I did think he would be knocked around a bit easier, he appeared relatively sturdy eh

All this time I thought it was a perpetually crap footy side, inept management, poor crowd numbers..

And all along, it was BBO's jokes that made us a laughing stock. How did I not see it before?

Yes I blame him

I look at the situation in the Ukraine and I can't help but think that if he had a bit more intestinal fortitude there wouldn't be a problem. Don't get me started on the deficit.

Being buggered senseless makes a man of you!!

This comment is why we are the laughing stock of the AFL.

Incorrect Sambo06 - we have been the laughing stock of the AFL long long before 29 Apr 2014 - 7:17 PM, which is when Bbo posted his comment, so clearly that comment is NOT why we are the laughing stock.

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning. Joy all round, they look like they want to be there.  21 in the squad.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
