Hot rumour (not from me) - Daniel Menzel

Post: # 1696386Post parkeysainter »

Could be rubbish but I heard the Saints are looking at him. Has kicked 38 this year but doesn't get alot of disposals. Medium forward and only 25.

Rumour is Cats are looking to offload him and Motlop to free up the salary cap space massively in order to get Ablett and 2 other GWS players in.

Straight swap Menzel for McCartin?

But Geelong want draft picks and if Menzel is worth a pick in the 20s then we cant really help them out even if we wanted to.

4?
jeeper creepers....
That makes him high risk...
Kicking 2 goals a game which makes him better than most of our lot.
But you wouldnt want to pay much for him.

hes s*** loads better than mav and younger.

Menzel has 100 goals from 50 games
Mav has 50 goals from 100 games.

So Menzel is 4 x as good.

Think I read in the paper he has the worst defensive pressure of any forward this year... maybe not a good fit for Richo's style?

No on Mendel. If he comes free like Freeman then sure why not? No harm no foul. Maybe all his knee worries are over. But we have medium forwards already so could make a tidy competition for a spot.
Motlop again maybe for frees.

But trade? Negative. I do not see a future With Paddy but we are too deep to pull out now - gotta see if he comes good first.

Richos style is all about imaginary pressure - noone actually tackles anyone or holds a tackle. So Menzel would fit right in.

At least Menzel knows how to kick a goal and kicks straight. 38.14 goals from 17 games this season.

Most of our fwds cant tackle and cant kick a goal.

You did not mention the source of your "hot rumour".


However I think it was Waldron on SEN during last week that mentioned this first. Though it may have been someone else, but definitely was put out there by one of the SEN regulars during the day last week.


Trouble is it was also said that his body is not that flash.

He's a much better forward than Lonie, Wright or Minchington so I'd absolutely take him as a FA. Also better than Weller if he doesn't return to form and Long if he doesn't start showing something.

Why so eager to offload McCartin? The lad still has a future. Will become a very important player for us next year.

Time to get your hand off it and start backing the club, Con! This naysayer crap is getting on the nose.

If he was any good rge Pussies would be offloading someone else for " Salary cap space"

If he's had four knee recos he's bound to get picked up by the Saints.

He has a terrific character, though. Trout assures us there is absolutely no chance he will reinjury his knees, and that they are not a problem in his ongoing training and playing regime.


I think you're pretty tough, don't I?

I was stirring because of the Geelong connection.

But Menzel for free as a FA.
Sure. Why not.

Still serious concerns over Paddy though.
