If there was any further evidence needed that old wounds have healed between Paul Salmon and Essendon fans, this week's BomberLand Poll provided it. Of the votes collated, a whopping 98 per cent said Salmon's comeback was a success. It was a huge vote of approval for the big man who announced his retirement late last week. It also adds credence to the comments of Kevin Sheedy, who said without Salmon Essendon would have struggled to make the finals.
