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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    Great news.

    Now for Kelly.

    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.

But in a repeat of Round 11, Brisbane proved too strong, too fit, and too relentless.  They brought their kicking boots: 9 goals, 2 points.

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

    • 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.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.
