AFL Player #47: Jye Menzie - Signs on for 2025 - 18/7

[TheGrizz]

Contract Status: Out of contract 2024
My Boy Draft 2024: Pick 38, Happyskeret

 

[Schnitzengruben]

Not really giving us anything atm. Needs a spell in the VFL and bring in Davey for a run.

 

[Vindicater]

Him and Gresham are too similar.

Bring in a Davey for pressure/pace

 

[Happyskeret]

My boy hasn’t had the rub of the green this year. Have a little faith we all know he can hit the scoreboard. He’s been working hard just needs a little luck to turn it his way.

Nope. ADJ for me. Needs a spell in the 2s.

Offensive output was limited but I did like the fact he had a lot more effort as far as chase and pressure and trying to stop their defenders from easily running it out of defense. For those calling for ADJ I would like to see some form from him in the VFL making a few tackles and putting the pressure on. At this stage I am replacing Menzie with Hobbs so that Setterfeild can come back in if fit.

He should probably have kicked 2 goals as well, so I think he's not far off it.

at this stage, im liking ADJs smarts. Gets a hand in to interfere the ball, generally defensive side of the play.
Needs to build the matchday body for those tackles to stick. Worth the wait on him and jayden though and happy to stick with guelf and gresh for now + one of the mids.

 

[cobra land]

The VFL game will be a good watch today.

Really looking forward to see what Davey x 2, Roberts & Caddy can bring and to see how far/close they off from the next step.

I thought he was doing that against the Swans too but they were so clean it was more unnoticeable. He’s doing the team things just not getting that reward. Missing that shot on Saturday was disappointing.

Delist this useless prick at half time

 

[andleanback]

If you can’t finish those opportunities as a low possession small forward. Go play in the 2s

I thought he was a lock in our team at the start of the year

He was on 2023 form. It’s now 2024 and he’s been horrible

 

[Blind Turn]

Never a lock in our team and he’s showing the deficiencies that were always there. The difference is he’s not getting on the end of some easy ones.

 

[bacon buster]

 

[RedmanWasHere]

Where is he?

 

[Old Campaigner]

Where is he?

Been on the bench since 3 quarter time

 

[Schnitzengruben]

Whether he's joe the goosed his way to 20 goals or gets found out on zero, to me he's still basically the same player. Slow for a small, can't really stick tackles, a poor finisher and not overly skilled. Tries his guts out but that only gets you so far.

 

[Old Campaigner]

It gets you on a shit list in desperate need of blokes who try hard and have a crack

 

[andleanback]

Easy ones? He was clean in scoring chains last year. Not just goals defines a small forward. This year he’s offered nothing

 

[Blind Turn]

Yes, easy ones. He rarely makes things happen. I’m not seeing it. I hope I will. But I have serious reservations.

And this is a consistent concern for me for a year or more and not an emotion-driven red-mist-rant that I am reading here from people about the likes of Draper and Parish who have runs on the board but have had one flat, scratchy game.

 

[naraku]

May as well just play Davey/s or Tex when fit. They won't do worse than him.

 

[Duckworth]

Menzie needs to do a lot more when the ball isn't in his hands - which is the length of the game minus 4 seconds.

 

[RedmanWasHere]

Last week: DROP HIM.
Tonight: DROP HIM.

Renegotiate his senior return after he has a good 3-4 game VFL run.

If he's dropped and collects 6 goals, don't be sucked into a sugar hit.
