More great news! Very happy with Salem re-signing. Keep 'em coming!

That looks like the Ess game where Salem kicked the winning goal with 19 seconds to go - his 3rd game I think.  A very special win.

Is your boy wearing Salem's # 3?  He knows how to pick a winner!

From memory it’s the 2017 victory at Marvel LH. Yeah number 3 on the jumper and by fluke he was given the number 3 at his jumper presentation tonight. The kid can’t stop smiling.

Where does he fit in?  We have a great midfield balance now

At half forward/wing in Jones' role... has a great tank, can hit the scoreboard and has better defensive accountability than we've had until this year.

Great interview. Love what he says here. Win a flag, win finals. Obvious, but I like the frame.

I said "his 1v1 game has improved, but I don't have the same confidence in him to win those that others do just yet, but hope I'll soon be on board."

I also said "having met Salem before, he seems like a really genuine guy". Just because I don't have the same confidence in him as you to win 1v1s does not mean I don't like Christian or that I don't watch him properly.

I also said "Salem is an important role player and ball user for us though."

So next time you want to interpret my posts, actually read what I'm writing or don't bother responding, because what you've written here is nonsense. Again.

As for him signing for 5 years, I'm very happy.

Just ignore him Adam. It’s just easier. How’s fatherhood going for you?

Personally I would have preferred 3-4 years but then he is super consistent coming 8th, 7th and 7th in the B & F over the past three years. You’d think, on current form, he’d be a Monty for another top 10 finish this year. 

For those who say he isn’t great one-on-one check out the Cats game where the Geelong full back kicked out to Guthrie on the back flank and Salem out marked him easily. 2 minutes later and another Geelong point, full back picks out Guthrie againand Salem does him cold. The third point in a row and I’m yelling at the tele ‘kick it to Guthrie, kick it to Guthrie! 

If this is directed at me, I've never said he's no good 1v1, just that I don't expect him to win it every time. Whereas, I expect Petracca or Oliver to win it every time. I think most would admit he's improved his 1v1 work this year.

This is absolutely not a shot at you at all, but I really can't remember him being beaten badly in a one on one contest against a player for similar size (ie his direct opponent). In fact most his 1v1's this year he's almost always won the dual almost effortlessly. Maybe I've got rose tinted glasses on, so feel free to point to an opponent that has had it over him this year.

I've never said he hasn't done it this year. My point was we've played 5 games, it's not like we've played a season. He does look strong 1v1 this year, particularly so against St Kilda.

The Salem winner with a minute to go was at the G. That picture is from Etihad.

You're probably right. And fatherhood is going well mate. I might appear a bit cranky on this thread, but the boy is sleeping well and his Demons have won 5 in 5. Chef's kiss. ?

The coaches think he is.

He's polled 18 votes (same as Trac) which averages out to the third best player on ground in all the games we've played, according to the coaches. 

Time will tell BBP, and performances like last night go a long long way.

Would hate to Treloar ourselves though.

Doubt he’s on big coin the 5 year deal would have been less money for more certainty, when fit harmes is still in our 22 and at A minimum he will replace Jones going fwd and is still ahead of the younger mids like sparrow and Jordan for now. 

Not Jordon really on current form.


Salem, Viney, Gawn, Oliver all playing well after getting new deals. Trac next please.

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
