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

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.

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.

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.

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

Phil Scully? Is that you?

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)
