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

    • 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.
