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: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
