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.

      As the Demons head into their Bye Round, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches being played. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons if we can manage to turn our season around?

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
