Player Watch Darcy Fogarty - Re-Signed to End of 2031

[Vhaluus]

Worth a punt for Kerridge.

We didn't just give up Kerridge did we? we also gave a pick?

 

[Vhaluus]

I was didsapointed they gave the 32 to Menzel. He didn’t fit the mould. Should never have happened. It should be saved and only given to players who can follow the tradition of Roo and Danger. Menzel was a small forward not a bull.

I'm betting getting 32 was a condition Menzel had for joining us.

 

[NikkiNoo]

Add VB and Mackay and you have the Vanilla Shakes ... have any of them ever played well in a big game .

The Collingwood final - Mackay had an outstanding game. VB has shown time and again that he gave everything for the club, including dishing off a handball when he had just broken his collarbone in his first season. He wasn't the most gifted player but VB tried his best every time he stepped on the field and never took a step back. Not every player is a star.

 

[Jenkins4]

hope the Fog can cut his way through the opposition as effectively as he did

Just ask Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman.

 

[Redleg Crow]

The real question is will he play in his first season of AFLX

I’m hoping that’s an attempted joke

 

[MRB37]

Nah, the decision was a worthwhile risk. I don't think anyone expected that he'd struggle with his fitness/to get a game as much as he did. It was fairly eye opening.

He struggled with fitness cause he struggled to give a shit.

 

[Redleg Crow]

Let’s face it, no one was even thinking about picking him up after we dumped him. Pretty damning given his age

One game and one moment make careers do they ?

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Really took the gloves off there

That's really ill fitting...

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Just watching that video when he kicks the ball his left leg seems to stay n contact with the ground. It actually looks a little unnatural. Is that my imagination or can you see what I mean.

Gee i hadn't noticed ....i'll start paying attention, thanks

 

[WaynesWorld19]

No offence but Menzel shouldn't have been recruited full stop.

In hindsight, yes .....but at the time this board was in a frenzy of excitement about his potential ......but Carlton got rid of a 22YO for a reason, but no-one questioned that reason?

Do you really think fitness was the issue ........IMO that's an excuse that's been over used

He played PS games & first couple of AFL games .......No he was fit, if not he wouldn't have been selected Rnd 1

There were obviously other issues & some rumors that were posted during the year .....maybe some truth ?

Yeah must have been the same reason Hawks gave away josh Kennedy and Ben McGlynn; StK gave up on Tom Lynch; same reason we let go of Matthew Wright, Jarryd Lyons and Bernie Vince

If a team gets rid of a player, we should know there must be a good reason

I applaud someone who tries their best, but you should never reward that over actual output.

You seem to have missed the point, by a fair margin.

I can see why we tried it. Out of Melbourne and back into his home environment, you just cross your fingers and hope and change of scenery helps him. It didn't and now he's gone from playing in the AFL one year to playing for Tea Tree Gully the next.

Not even playing in the SANFL ....that's strange !!!!!

Obviously Menzel wants to be the "Superstar" of local footy

Just wants to play footy and hang with his mates, that's all he wanted apparently. So no surprise he didn't work out at AFL level, not everyone is able to commit themselves to that amount of work.

 

[Grenville]

Douglas clearly head and shoulders above everyone else on that list

Agreed at this stage, and by some margin. Have a feeling Himmelberg may get there though - looks a player and disappointed we didnt get him.

 

[GreyCrow]

Nickname. Joey. Baby Roo

As heard on triple m

 

[Golumless]

No, he should have been. High draft pick, showed signs at Carlton of making it etc, had one or two flaws that could be worked on.

In a lot of ways, he is the classic risk/reward player.

 

[Bicks]

Champion Data ratings of Fogarty don't do him justice, more "red" than any other player in the top 24.

Some of the "plays like" are dead set laughable...

Even from watching 10 seconds of Fogarty footage, there is no way I'd ever describe him as a Mark Hutchings or Ed Curnow type of player

Plenty of "plays like" Richard Douglas in there too amongst the top draftees, seems like Champion Data appreciate his football far more than some of our supporters.......And for the record I'm not one of those. I've always rated Douglas.
