Glowing endorsement from the club:

A versatile player with a great understanding of the game, Salem is known for his elite foot skills and his ability to rebound the ball from half-back.

  (Emphasis i smine)

Over the past few years Salem has emerged as one the best rebounding defenders in the game and one of Melbourne’s most reliable performers.

“We are absolutely rapt to have Christian commit his long-term future to the club,” List Manager, Tim Lamb told Melbourne Media.

“Given he would have been eligible for Free Agency at the end of this year it is significant that he has forgone that opportunity to extend his time here so early in the season.

“Christian has developed into a crucial player and we believe he still has significant growth in his game.

“He is a much loved and highly respected member of our playing group and we are excited to see what he can produce for the red and blue in the years to come.”

 

If anyone still has any doubts about his silky skills and foot IQ re-read the first paragraph.

And if Lamb is correct that he still has significant growth in his game then we will have another elite footballer in our midst!!

Doubt the club would announce anything, good or bad, this week to ensure nothing overshadows Jones 300th.  AS it should be.

That post didn't age well ? but my sentiment was good.

The next 5 years should be something.  Trac/Viney/Oliver/Salem/Langdon/Lever all in their prime.  It's our best chance to win a flag in a looooooong time

Gawny !!!! Still a babe in arms !!


For some reason nobody ever talks about Salem? Not on here, not in the media, not anywhere. The guy is a very good player. 

5 years is a long time at first glance but he also strikes me as somebody that will be just as good when he's 30 as he is now. All he relies on are good skills, a good footy brain and good upper body strength. Nothing too complicated nor anything that will diminish much with age.

Fantastic news.

I do at every chance I get.  And have defended him on DL since the day he started.  And until this year he needed a lot of defending. 

But I'm very glad that he needs a bigger bandwagon!

Outstanding news. And so early in the season as well so no distractions later on. The pieces are falling into place.

Come on Trac. Sign on the dotted line.

 

Took a few years to get over health issues and build himself up, but he’s brilliant now. This year has been his best season yet and he should be in all Australian conversations.

Great signing and show of faith by both player and club!

Matty Whelan went alright too.

Definitely nearer to Lovett than Whelan which prob makes Christian an A-to A+. As Brett was an A+ no doubt.

At seasons end I believe he will be without doubt an A+ and may even have a medallion around his neck!


That a boy Christian,  your turn next CP5, win or lose tommorow night this club has turned a massive corner as we are more composed and precise with our club messaging.

Give em hell tommorow night Demons.

He finished last season with about 4/5 games where he impacted the fortunes of our team towards a win.

Watch the GWS win in Round  17 and its the same as 2021 all out commitment and running for the team.
 

Congratulations Christian.

We seem to be giving out a lot of 5 year deals recently. Jack Viney makes sense as he is genuine heart and soul. But I do wonder if Salo and Choppers Harmes are the type of blokes you give 5 years to. Especially, when Clarry only got a 2 year extension (he may not have wanted more), and Tracc coming into free agency at the end of 2022. 
I hope these contracts are weighted the right way as holding onto the latter of those two superstars is bloody important.? 
Salo is good, but is he 5 years good??

Agreed, which is why there has been nothing more than the channel 10 story so far. 10 reporter getting the intel is a strange leak but if that is as bad as the leaks are from the club nowadays I am happy.

Leak could've been from player manager or someone else - not necessarily club

Salem’s poise, strength and ability to dispose cleanly and to good options under intense pressure make him an ideal player for finals footy. 
Reckon he will thrive should we get to September.

his leadership off the back flank has reminded me of Hodge’s leadership at Brisbane recently.

Have no idea but Trac is a close friend of Salem so I believe he will also sign on. Bloody hope so.

Very happy to have Salo locked in for 5 years. 

Reckon given the games Viney has missed that one potentially too long.

Harmes somewhat long but all depends what we're paying I guess.

 

On a side note, Kozzy Pickett shares all the good news stories on his IG page, as he did with this one, so it seems he loves the club which is great

Is Harmes really on 5 years??

 

Unfortunately yes.  Gave 5 years to a tagger, who they then tried to turn into a backman and who now has no place in the team.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
