Salem plays if fit. He will be better for the end of the season but he can do things that 30 players on the field can’t and he is hard as nails and will make the opponent think when near the footy. That’s gold for HBF.

    If Hibbo has gastro no way will he be be playing, not only would he be completely cooked but would likely spread it to other team mates, fair chance more will be impacted before the game even if they take the field.

    If fit he is in - you never leave out your best.

    I’ll never forget his first half in the grand final.

    It may well have been in the past, seen in training sessions and onfield at times during games yet recently, I suspect that he is hamstrung by a niggle or two as his pace does not appear to be so astute. Hence, I questioned his relative running abilities for the game. He still remains one of the best talents we have and has been previously - a skilful exponent of the game.

    I think you are making stuff up. Salem is better than Bowey in most categories. He might well have been a Norm Smith Medallist he was that good.

     

    As for running further...

    Oh and did I mention speed?

     

    Top five fastest Melbourne players in 2021

    Kysaiah Pickett 34.56
    Alex Neal-Bullen 33.95
    Ed Langdon 33.91
    Christian Salem 33.80

     

    You are absolutely correct....Salem is an elite player who was fantastic last year but due to injuries he has struggled this year. It's hard to be consistent when your out one week and in another and as such its affected his game.

    I think most people agree it's a tough call between he and Bowie which says a lot.

    Normally a complete no brainer.

    I'm actually leaning towards Bowie at present and I feel strange saying it.

    Edited by leave it to deever

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • 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.
