Christian Salem was one of his side’s most consistent performers in 2019, averaging 24 disposals across his 20 games for the season. The classy left footer is one of the Demons’ key distributors off half-back, becoming an integral part of the back six. Salem polled seventh in the club’s Best and Fairest award which is the best return to this point of his six-year career. With almost 100 games of experience, Salem is now a senior figure for the Dees who reads the game well and starts many of the Demons’ offensive chains. Salem led the team for rebound 50s in 2019 and his skills will continue to be utilised coming out of defence in the future.
