Unrestricted free agent and a clear upgrade on someone like Mitch hannan or James harmes. 

Surely worth a look?

    Cost nothing but money, and has much more talent than the overwhelming majority on our list.

    Would love to see him play for us, but injuries surely a concern?

    Very lazy player who often finds himself in space due to the fact he doesn't follow a man wen out of possession.  Has had 22 tackles and 15 1%s from 17 games this year.

     

    We often criticise Watts and Gartlett for their defensive efforts:

    Jack Watts 42 tackles from 16 games.

    Jeff Gartlett 74 tackles from 21 games.

    Pretty damning stats there

    So he already has a handle on game plan and culture. It's a yes from me.

    Ouch. Close thread before Slobo gets hold of it

    Would be a great pick-up if we don't value forward pressure. The guy can kick goals, but is incapable of pretty much anything else. Suspect body too.

    Firm no.

    Similar to JT for me. Has the talent but lacks the speed/agility and ability to apply pressure. you cannot play fwd without this unless if a very good team

    They are reporting that Cats are thinking about whether to give him a contract even though he kicked 30 odd goals

    its a pity that athletic ability is surpasing talent as a pre-requistite but there you go

    No it's not athletic ability surpassing talent, but rather effort.

    Has some x-factor but as mentioned in an earlier post, his defensive pressure is a serious concern. I'd prefer getting more games into Hannan. Maybe even Fritsch if we draft him.

    I think that's why Geelong is not rushing to sign him.

    Menzel is a very good footballer but I just can't see this being a good fit. Decent overhead but we need much more defensive forward pressure. Also fear for him breaking down at any second. 

  • Quote

    He can take a grab, and if there is something we need more of its contested marks.

    Shame about the lack of pressure/effort though.

    Factor in his injury history and its a reluctant pass from me.

    Perfect player for us... his lazyness will give us a permanent forward inside 50. Lol

    I am sick of seeing an empty forward 50 when going forward. 

    If we dont have to give up a draft pick or player. I would consider. Dangerous player and can kick goals. And is surprisingly 190cm. Allows Garlett to work up the ground and use his pace.

    8 goals in two games v Dees. Match winner!

    More chance of returning to Adelaide and playing with his brother. Could be key to any potential 3 way trade for Lever if Menzel does leave.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
