Kelly will be a very good player, but as I said when it happened we did the deal WE needed to do.

My info, as I said on here a couple of times, was that Salem was the 2nd best player in his comp and with Tyson, the deal was sensational for us.

Some of Tyson's kicking was extremely lazy today. I love him, but he really needs to be switched on to be effective.

I think it was more reflective of fatigue.

Quite a few players were slow to get ball to boot because of it.

Spot on 'Machsy', remember he turns 21 next week and playing like a seasoned pro. Already a good player but wait until he gets around the 80 to 100 game mark.

I said a couple of weeks ago that he is a sensational long kick but his short kicking is sometimes dreadful and sometimes just ordinary.

Once he gets the balance he will be a superstar. Loves getting is hands on the pill and like all good players he is a bit selfish; which I like to see.

Salem is a gem and will only get better and better; loved the way he worked together with Toump today getting that goal; I think he will make Toump a better player too.

Salem will be the best player on our list in 3 years.

He has it all, there is a reason why Roos done this trade, I think he wanted Salem at 2.

Maybe, but I reckon he'll have a bit of competition from Viney, Tyson, Hogan and of course Nathan Jones.

Just think, we have Jesse Hogan to come yet.

Exciting times.

I always get excited about the club (year after year), but this time, I think it's justified.

Even if Tyson and Salem weren't any good, those 2 mythical unnamed recruiters would lose their jobs for grossly overrating Kelly.

Yeah, he's a nice player, but a once-in-a-decade player?

Come on...

Whitfield? Treloar? Fyfe? Swallow? O'Meara? Crouch? Prestia?

Macrae, Wines, Mayes, Coniglio, Wingard, Bennell, Isaac Smith, Shiel...

So many guns there, and none that are clearly worse than Kelly.

Yeah, he has class, but you need a bit more than that.

And he doesn't clearly have more class than the other names.

And that's only the last 5 years.

I am a HUGE Josh Kelly fan, but to say he is 'once in a decade player', based on a game - just ignorance.

I think Josh Kelly will be a really good player, but nothing I seen in juniors suggested he'll be any better than Salem.

From all reports, Salem and Lewis Taylor were the best of the AIS bunch.

On top of that, Salem's form in the TAC cup was miles ahead of both Kelly and Freeman - and anyone else, it is just Salem played sparingly.

What killed Salem and the reason we got him where we did, is that he had a poor national championships.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
