Let the breakout season continue. 

Fantastic - now over to you J. Hunt

That is just the best news!

He showed his skill and talent in his first season when he won the game vs Ess with a goal after the siren.  Cool, composed and deadly accurate.

I knew then we had someone special.

He is know getting the recognition he deserves.

Terrific news.

I think fans underestimate just how good Salem is. He has so many attributes it's scary how good this guy will be.

Strong mark, elite kick, hard to beat 1 on 1, tough at it, tackles well. 

Apart from glaring speed, this guy is quite the package.

class player

Salem will continue blossom into an A-grade player over the next season or two, if his health holds.

We're building something very special.

 

Just a query

are 2 year or 3 years the standard contracts for his age?

Seems to be most take a 2 year deal at the moment.

Very very very happy about this, he was one that I thought other clubs might try and tempt away. 

Love him.  

It's such a luxury to have a player like that on the half-backline too.  Reminds me a bit of James Kelly at Geelong in that respect; easily capable of being a very good player in the midfield, but playing off halfback where we need his skillset even more.

thanks ... makes sense for both sides

Great to have him re - signed

Great news.

Now for Kelly.

Fabulous news.  Salo is one of our core group of 'top liners' who are destined to take us to the next level.  His signing was an imperative imo, and he's now locked in.  I'm thrilled that he's chosen to be part of a very big future at the Melbourne Football Club.

now that salem has signed i guess kelly is just waiting for hunt to sign before he makes his move 

Good signing. Provided he can remain healthy he has all the tools the become a quality player for us long term. He's already impacting games, but like many youngsters just needs to build consistency.

Hopefully his health issues are behind him and we can keep him on the park tearing it up with that laser kick of his!

Agree. Why don't we go after Kelly?

Reckon we are a very attractive proposition for someone like Kelly that wants to get back to Melbourne from a soulless afl created franchise to the oldest club in the land. 

Lets bring the band back together - the Brighton Grammar boys Salem, Watts, Hunt and Kelly in the same team.

Just sayin.....

Who says we aren't? If our recruiters weren't looking at josh Kelly they wouldn't be doing their job.

Exactly what we need - a healthy dose of overdue Public School elitism so that the MCC/MFC Members can employ the time honoured refrain to those who follow The Filth and others of that ilk:

"STFU or we'll raise your rent!"

[censored] yes. One of my favourites. 

Just so cool with ball in hand. Fierce without it. 

Will be up there with Oliver and Petracca as our best 3 in the not so distant.

Collingwood supporters don't pay rent.

 

Well done MFC really like how Salem is progressing
