Daniel Menzel 'returned to footy' progress updates

[Cattergirl]

Thanks I thought that was the case. Still, today has been very promising.

Yep! He seemed to gain more confidence as the game went on. I didn't expect him to be so good today. He looked like he was really enjoying himself

 

[Gavin Excell]

great news.

 

[Turbocat]

Just about to come on to KRock

 

[you pick one]

How good for Menz to sing the song arm in arm….

Magic footy moment right there….

GO Catters

Ummmm don't see him.

 

[hbk_aus]

Mouthguard, perhaps.

Oh Fred, I thought you were better than that. The master has been wooshed!

 

[bananatigz]

Great news Would love to see him get a really good crack at it now deserves it

 

[NT.Thunder]

Some good news finally we've all been waiting for in footy. Well done to Menzel and just as importantly GFC for supporting him through some tough times.

Early days but really hope to see him running around in the seniors, god knows both Menzel, your club and the supporters deserve it.

Glad to see him running around out there but I don't get he has had like four knee reconstructions and he is still not strapping his knee he is asking for trouble

That's because you're an idiot and you have no idea what you're talking about.

Baby hasn't arrived Think I might venture down

That was begging for the emergency call as soon as you reached Chirnside Park. How'd you go? Did you see out the game?

 

[Teriyakicat]

@GeelongVFL: Menzel has 13 disposals, 8 clearances and 2 tackles. Cautiously working himself into the game #PJVFL

Didn't sound at all cautious to me! Sounds like he was planning to go out with all guns blazing, fighting with his last breath!

 

[Teriyakicat]

Cockatoo having a celebratory smoke....

Looks like he's smoking a bandaid. Things ARE getting tough in Geelong!

 

[Teriyakicat]

Menz looked very assured. Stood next to a bloke who said he was scouting for people in NSW or qld and he was there to watch menzel, whatever that means. Cockatoo also looked good. A very satisfying day all round.

I hope you told him to piss right off back home and stick to watching his northern academies if he wants players for up there!!

Surely Menzel would never in a hundred years desert Geelong after sticking with him for so long.

Of course he wouldn't.
Maybe the scout wanted one of Dan's older brothers?

With supporters like you, who knows?

If u do your knee u should be strapping it common sense

That's the trouble with "common sense", it's so often merely an expression used to cover for ignorance of the subject-matter.

Well we certainly paid from Menzel getting through. humiliating loss and end of our shot at finals, Selwood likely to be suspended and news that Dangerfield has probably signed with crows. Was it worth it? Well yes but hopefully we can pay a smaller price next week for an injury free Menzel game? Oh footy gods please!

Re: Menzel as a Rover. Is this something that they might be building him up for in the seniors? Obviously made his mark as a goal kicking forward, but I ender if everyones nervous abut charging out on a lead, turning... we know the rest. Being right under the ball in traffic might be a tactic to prolong career, or simply just to get a feel for the game and some run in the legs?

Based on yesterday and the interview he did post game id say its a bit of both. Getting the legs under him in the MF was discussed but he also said he's been leading and changing direction in training drills.

Baby steps of course…

Go Catters

 

[giggler99]

good to hear he performed well and is on track.

Blast from the past nananana!

I think playing him on the ball was about getting his match fitness up. You play inside 50 and you might be cold half the game - more chance of soft tissue injuries etc.
