Have you been living under a rock? May became the best key defender in the game after he got traded to us. Not to mention that Lever and Hibberd have had their career best years under us too.

Aside from maybe Jeremy Howe, I can't think of anyone in recent years who actually reached their potential after leaving Melbourne.

I think Rivers will progress to a full time midfielder next year and personally think he we become a great midfielder!

last bench spot/sub is anyone's guess

Stephen Powell and Clint Bizzell if they haven't been mentioned already.

As much as I’d like to get involved in a pile on and prove to @IRW that their post was rubbish, I have news:

Apparently Tom Morris likes his surname pronounced like how a French person would say “Maurice”.

Seriously? 

They were all good at the time 

May was Captain

Lever a gun.

How is the latest unfulfilled high draft pick going in his new environment ?

Give me a break please.

Actually that he's not a big body is the problem I see

Yeah he was  but  my question for you geniuses was which unfulfilled talent  did the Dee's make better?

I think Salem is a high half back only. It is the easiest position on the ground and suits his exceptional ability to read the play and hit targets.

He does not have the engine required to play ANB's role or play wing and I don't think he is big enough or quick enough to play inside midfield.

 

Agree on half forward and wing, disagree on midfield. Assuming his body gets fit and healthy I think he can play the Pendles role who sits in the corridor and directs traffic and folds back to help the backline.

He could even rotate with someone like Rivers taking more centre bounces then switching with Salo.

If our aim is to move the ball with switches and corridor play then we could do with Salem as a fold back midfielder and ask our wings to push in and forward more.

Our mids are contest to contest followers. We need at least one more creative midfielder who provides uncontested possessions.
