I'll quickly put in a disclaimer at the start to say I'm not implying we should go for him, just more opening it up as something the club may consider.

Daniel Menzel is currently out of contract with the Swans as they try to balance things out for the impending Daniher trade.

I personally would be a probable no, but what are the chances the club looks at him given we could probably get him for cheap?

    The position of a small forward has changed from the type of player he is. Now, small forwards also need to be high pressure players, as well as good crumbing forwards. He has ability, but lacks intensity to chase, tackle, and put pressure on the defense. There are plenty of players with lesser ability than him that get games because they're good pressure players first. It's a no from me.

    I don't think there is a player I want less in this trade period than him.  

    To me he is everything we don't need going forward.

    You want players who actually add tackling pressure and intensity.  This bloke is the complete opposite and one of the worst going around in terms of defensive pressure.

    Would’ve prefered Jamie Elliott.

    I’d also offer Jeffy a rookie contract over Menzel every day of the week.

    No from me, but I can't see why we can't add Ben Ronke from the Swans. Then add Dan Butler and Jacob Townsend. It doesn't sound like we are trying very hard at all for much this trade period, definitely needs smalls and even a KPF.

    Townsend and Butler are rotting away in the magoo's, be bold Dees and make a play for them.

    We refuse to get quality small men that can tackle and have pace, but we will retain list cloggers such as Stretch,JKH, Wagner bros, Omac etc.

    Townsend is a scrubber. No thanks.

    He's an upgrade on ANB and a few others though.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
