If ever I was concerned about a players ability and future it wasn't Salem. I don't see a nice kid like (name redacted) who talks the talk but doesn't deliver.

We need footballers and that's what I see in Salem.

    The culture of this club of expecting first year players to be impacting regularly week after week is a significant factor in why we're stagnant on the bottom. That's how it's damaging.

    You said he needs to do more. No, he doesn't. Grimes, Garland, Howe, Frawley, Jamar, Watts, they 'need' to do more. Salem is a first year player. They don't 'need' to do anything other than show a future, and that's exactly what Salem has done. He has shown an appetite for the contest, a willingness to work hard, and skill with ball in hand.

    Everyone is entitled to an opinion but you should be prepared to be called out on it, especially when it's as bad as this one.

    he's been been way better than watts or Sylvia in their first year.

    Sorry Moon but technically you are never the winner until the siren has blown to signify full time.

    And even then sometimes not .. remember the game where we didn't tank, and were ahead when the siren blew but lost the game? Pedants R Us ... :blink:

    The thing I love about Salem (besides his sublime skills) is that he has put his body on the line multiple times and he has backed into packs multiple times

    he is tough and has no fear, also when he tackles he tackles hard

    His balance is amazing too

    He is a great all around player, who lacks AFL fitness and thats understandable at this stage

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.
