Standing an immense 205cm, Salmon was one of the tallest players in League history. He began his career at Essendon, where he made his name as a full-forward where his superior height helped him kick a multitude of goals. He moved to Hawthorn in 1996 where he took over the key rucking position, a dream he had long held. He won the Club Champion award in his first two years at the club and in 1997 also won All-Australian selection. In his final year with the Hawks he passed the 300-game milestone, a true legend of the game.
