Tyson was worth trading pick 2 for on his own, so anything Salem does - like that mesmerising goal-assist, is a bonus.

    Played for Geelong, yeah?

    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.

    Tyson looks a potential brownlow medalist to me and Salem showed plenty also

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

    ...and whoever Roosy hasn't picked or traded for yet.

    Three young blokes under 21 Tyson,Salem & VIney.

    Plus JKH and Toumpas .

    Jetta has found his spot

    Future looks good

    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.

    If we get to add Treloar in there..................

    Watch roosys presser he gives the unnamed recruiter a whack for saying we lost out on the deal, he said he should be sacked it's probably a dig at Barrett aswell good to watch

  • Quote

    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.

  • Quote

    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.

    Hahaha! That's a great get. Didn't read that at the time.

    Roosy will remember this doorknob!

    Phil Scully? Is that you?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
