Looks as though Brayshaw took his spot on the weekend as the small-medium half back flank and smashed whatever Salem's produced for a fair majority of the year.

I don't have Salem returning for the rest of the year. He's two games vs North and GWS, combined with his 2 suspensions throughout the year will cost him.

Suspension costing players missing further games is the biggest load of [censored] on football forums.

Too many internet warriors who never played footy and see an act of aggression as a threat.

There is a reason these blokes play afl and its partly because they are aggressive by nature.

The fact Salem has been suspended twice is fantastic. If he was doing the opposite and shirking the contest we would need to delist him.

suspended players can train fully so don't lose match fitness. It helps with list management in a funny kind of way.

Still like to know what prompted/provoked it...but hey

Christian unavailable to slay the Lions  

Probably not in line for Poi

Be firing fit for finals though  

Yeah.  I was looking forward to Salem and Petracca playing against Brisbane: Christians v Lions.  Now only one. 

Just as I anticipated... Salem's impending execution was postponed due to a reality check. The hysterical noise that was generated over this incident borders on fake news. I think the reaction of all the opposition players nearby sums it up for me.
