After being promoted from the rookie list at the end of 2008, last season was Salter's first full season on the Power's senior list. He began 2009 with Woodville-West Torrens in the SANFL before succumbing to a knee injury mid season which sidelined him for five games. He displayed consistent form on his return to the Eagles and eventually broke into the Power side to play five of the last seven games, including a three goal performance against the Brisbane Lions at the Gabba in round 21. Salter will look to contribute more consistently up forward in 2010, but has already demonstrated his flexibility this pre-season by having some useful performances in defence.
