Reminds of David Schwarz in the 90s. Hope he can get back up. It was the right knee this time as well.

GEELONG forward Daniel Menzel appears to have gone down with another serious knee injury in his return match from the cruciate ligament tear he suffered late in the 2011 season.

Menzel was playing for the Cats' VFL team against North Ballarat at Simonds Stadium on Saturday morning when the injury occurred.

It was his first competitive hit-out since he needed a knee reconstruction after going down in last year's qualifying final win over Hawthorn.

A final call on whether Menzel needs his left knee reconstructed will not be known until he sees a surgeon in the coming days.

"Not right knee but left knee which hasn't been pre-injured. Still working through this. No confirmation on extent," said a tweet from the Cats at 12.25pm.

    This really sucks - don't whether it's better or worse that it's his other knee this time. Schwarz was the first thing to come to my mind as well, Menzel was looking like he would be a gun before going down last year.

    Still young. Time is on his side. Max Bailey still looks like he can carve out a career.

    it sucks. I dont care who they play for when I hear of a young bloke doing his second knee in two years you have to feel for him. I'd still take him if Geelong don't want him.

    Other knee wasn't it? It would be terrible either way but at least mentally he might be able to make something of it being the same knee.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
