@qqq2211 They traded him because he had trouble obtaining a senior game with competition from his brother, Paul Salmon and Roger Merrett. When one looks at those four players, all of whom played over 300 V/AFL games, one sees why Essendon were so successful in the early to middle 1980s and why Carlton (in dry weather) were so formidable between 1986 and 1988.
I still find it really strange why they traded justin Madden?
