Daniel Menzel

Post: # 1764342Post Tom_Sainter »

Surely this bloke is worth a go? Lacks a bit of forward pressure but has averaged 2 goals a game in the last few seasons. Really surprised Geelong delisted him. We seemed interested prior to trade week and have apparently our interest has cooled? Thoughts?

So we don't have to give up anything but what do we have to pay him? We have a war chest apparently that we have to spend or we lose it so what the hell give him a 1 year contract with incentives he's gotta be better than Lonie that has just signed a 2 year contract IMO

Did not want him as a DFA or a trade, but wouldn’t be upset if we put him on rookie list on a one year deal.

Yes but the Rookie draft hasn't started yet.


The Saints are under review, will it make any difference to the underachievers ?

MIght as well take him.

Mind you, all it would take is some well-advertised interest from other clubs and we'll probably be spooked into taking him with our first pick.

To be fair, given we are the worst team around goal in the league, I'd be signing him up.

Honestly, he and Hartung would be in our best 22.


Clueless and mediocre petty tyrant.

If we were going to recycle anyone I'd be all over Tommy Sheridan ahead of another forward.

Would rather take Neade from PA over Menzel.

In the past tense little fella.

Did not want him as a trade, did not want to give up anything for him.

Did not want him as a FA where he might get tenure.

Happy if we gave him a one year rookie contract as there is little exposure.

Happy to pass.

Getting a player like Menzel would only keep a youngster like Josh Battle out of the team and rob him of valuable experience.

Out of all the delisted players I would look at Dean Towers from Swans ,can play tall and should have got more games at the swans

We have ruled ourselves out apparently.

https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/cut ... 50btc.html
Delisted Geelong small forward Daniel Menzel is on the radar of up to five AFL clubs, according to his agent.

Menzel's manager Adam Ramanauskas says there remains interest in the goalsneak after reports cellar-dwellers Carlton, Brisbane and St Kilda have ruled themselves out as potential suitors.

Battle will play the position Menzel plays. Menzel is a gun, Battle will be and his defensive side is far more superior.

I don't see what the upside is. We have young blokes that need games if he's getting a game someone misses out.
He may help win a couple of games but he's not long term.

If the club is keen to get games into the young forwards then there isn't really a spot for someone like Menzel. Assuming they want McCartin, Battle, Membrey, Bruce and Marshall to be the forward option in a couple of years then it'd be a waste to give games to him.
