    We certanly have, correctly IMO.
    Menzel is a real talent but has the defensive capabilities of 1939 France.

      I am naive enough to have not realised this was the case. Of course! makes sense.

        So the Bamien Darrett account I've been following isn't a real person?

          Geelong have reportedly told Daniel Menzel, Jordan Murdoch and Jackson Thurlow to explore their options.

              Gold.

              In all seriousness though. I sincerely hope we pass on Menzel.

                If Menzel is one of the last spots on the list I'm happy to do it.

                If he's fit, he's most likely in our best 22. For his lack of defensive pressure, he can be a 35-40 goal forward.

                Obviously has his flaws (injury and defensive pressure) but if we are giving up nothing but a list spot then it's not the worst idea.

                  Menzel as a DFA. One year. Minimal wage. I could be convinced. Anything more that, tests my ability to be convinced.

                    I was having a hit in the nets with a mate a few years back, he told me "you defend your stumps like the French". It was the best sledge I've ever been on the end of.

                      Should've retorted by suggesting he study the battle of the Marne.
