Not an easy thing to deal with, especially an athlete. Still his 2021 grand final game was epic. His intercept marking an off ball pressure went un-talked but but was nearly best on ground.

Works for me.

Looks in top form now. If he has a big season so will MFC.

Key player to set up the play especially to Langdon.

[Rodney (Balls) Grinter 10,815]

So for those that don't make it through the Hun paywall, is there an upshot to the article?

Has Salo found an approach to managing his health issues that should set him up for career best form in 2024?

If not for standout games from Fritta, Trac and maybe Bont could’ve jagged the Norm Smith. 
Players have done less in GF and got one.

I read the thread title and thought is was the new Francis Ford Coppola movie.

It means your computer is averse to Herald/Sun lies bulldust and propaganda. You have a good computer.

I thought he had it sewn up in the first quarter. 
And yes, Johannasen won one which surprised many.

Johanniesen was electric that day. Hardly been the same player since.

Soooo, what does the article say for those of us with paywall. Is it about his thyroid, knee, something else?

[BDA 22,742]

If Salem can rediscover his 2021 form, he'll be a huge boost for the team and our chances and winning the flag. I'm praying he has an injury free pre-season.

I think the Ch 7 comentators were willing him on to be a game changing influence again when he took that grab in the 3rd qrt of the 21 GF as well, but alas ... 😔

🤣

The big speccy on the goal line? Flash in the pan. A two handed shove out on Bowser’s shoulders. Great for the crowd and television audience but not in the spirit of the rules. But as we know karma kicked in massively and put Jojo and the rest on their arses.

Can't ras the article due to pay wall. What does it actually say? Thyroid issue  insight?

Funny people have different views on games, I was surprised on the day he won it. He turned the ball over numerous times though, his run off half back was eye catching but after re watching that game a few times I haven’t changed my mind he’d be 5th at best in my BOG that day

1. McRae - every disposal connected and set up transition. Super clean all day and composed with ball in hand

2. Boyd - best big man on the ground impacted aerial contest all day by clunking or bringing the ball to ground and impacted the scoreboard 

3. Kennedy - was just a contested beast, close to the best stoppage display in a GF, virtually turned the momentum himself in the second quarter 

4. Picken - kept bobbing up as half forward providing pressure and hit up option whilst also impacting the scoreboard 

5. Then JJ

Yes yes yes, but they didn't have peroxide hair.

Maybe this is another off field thing we can't talk about 🤷‍♂️

Yes, it would be great, without risking breaching copyright (ie don’t cut and paste) to get a brief précis on what in particular he needs to come back from.  NB knee, calf, thyroid, etc

"Surely not!" i chortle to myself as i google images to confirm my rock solid recollection of a blonde Johanissen on his way to his 2016 Norm Smith. But bugger me, you are absolutely right. 🤣
