Daniel Menzel

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.

[DubDee 25,856]

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.

[Demon Jack 6,909]

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.

[layzie 33,796]

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. 

[ding 5,126]

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.

 

[Dee tention 616]

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!

[Jibroni 5,003]

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.
