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.

    • 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.
