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.

    Big no. Still get a good laugh out of remembering him hitting the post from 5m out against us in the Elimination Final. Absolute spud

    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.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?
