If anyone seriously bags us for trading pick #2 for Salem/Tyson, get stuffed.

Both boys looking superb so far today.

Finally we got one right.

To be fair, Salem still has work to do, especially some of his defensive positioning and running, but geez he looks amazing when he has the ball.

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.

Tyson at some stages tried to do a little too much, but he'll learn as will Salem, and both will become absolute jets.

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..................

Get around my tweet!!

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

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.

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

Roosy will remember this doorknob!

"One talent spotter said overlooking Kelly, 19, could prove worse than the well-documented Watts-Naitanui decision."

Phil Scully? Is that you?
