Many on here consider him elite, a word that is often over used

Like in this^ post. 

I doubt anyone, let alone many, have said he's elite.

    I doubt it's many, and most would simply rate his kicking as elite, which it is.

    Good to see you still can't get over his suspension either.

    I was just agreeing with what Jackaub wrote, why don't you have a go at him?

    or do you just like going the man...

    Still in the 'promising' category at this stage I'm afraid. And that's coming from someone who is a fan of his.

    That may explain it, yes of course. 

    We agree on this one

    I have jackaub on ignore.

    And I wasn't going the man, just disagreeing with your assertion that most on here rate him as 'elite', which outside of his kicking is untrue.  You made your feelings clear about his suspension earlier in the week which to me has clouded your view.  Can't see how you can construe that as going the man.

    Clouded my view?? And your view is perfect of course  

    yeah right

    Salem has been on our list since 2014 and since then has been underwhelming, although you wouldn't know it reading threads on here

    Yep, because that's exactly what I said...

    You are like arguing with a brick wall sometimes.  I'd get better conversation and debate from a shrub.

    Aaron Davey's field kicking was elite. Salem is above average. 

    You're splitting hairs there. No one disputes Salem is a fantastic kick of the football. Possibly our best kick.

    Agree.

    Wasn't this a Lever thread?  Some of you panty sniffers should start a man-hate thread so you can dump on your favourites.  We drift from a trade suggestion of player X to a slanging match that has nothing to do with the topic.

    In his time at the club, Salem has played just 45 games in total and this year had been averaging a tad over 21 disposals per game, which is not so bad. He has been cruelled by injury and illness.  Yes, he might not be elite (although as someone stated, his kicking is), but he is certainly a cut above numerous others on the list, and with a good run free of injury/illness and another preseason under the belt, he will start to show the class that got him drafted by the club.

    You had him traded earlier this week based purely on what a few people had overstated regarding his being reported on Saturday - if you had actually been at the game and had seen the incident first hand (there was no available footage at the time you made your comments), then your comments may have at least had some validity... but instead, your judgement on that occasion was indeed clouded..

    I don't know if you're joking, but if we can't get Lever then we do need to replace Garland ie Injury depth. If we can't find an elite or potentially elite defender, then we'll need to look for a supporting forward to relieve pressure on Hogan, Watts, Weed & Pedo so that TMAC can go back and our defence can be elite. If injuries hit 2 defenders then we're pretty thin and it could really dent out season next year.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
