1449 days

[LongBomb]

1449 days and 4 knee reconstructions since Dan Menzel's last game.

Welcome back.

 

[Kram]

Good luck.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Good luck Menz!!

 

[Van_Dyke]

Best of luck, definitely one of those un-booable players I reckon. To make it back from that far out is great to see.

I remember him kicking 5 goals and looking like Stevie J reincarnate when the Cats drubbed the Pies by 96 points in their last home and away game of 2011, he was just too quick, too smart and too balanced for any Pies defender to get near him, especially when they were isolated as the ball came in 1v1 to him on top of his head.
A travesty what happened just a week later, Geelong's best and brightest hope ripped away from them (4 season now, ridiculous)
His judgement of the footy was second only to Johnson himself in the back half of 2011!

If he can recover any of that form, the Cats will be grinning all the way to the bank.
Good luck to him

Last game was in Qualifying final 2011

 

[Dignan]

The mental fortitude this bloke must have, well done to him

 

[jackdanielz3]

Makes me sad to think I remember watching the game he first did his knee and personally I have achieved sfa since then so nice to know the count is 1449 days of my life down the shitter

oh well good luck to him

I've had one Knee reco and that was more than enough. Couldn't imagine going through it four times. Good luck to him.

Awww man I think there's something in my eye. Amazing for anyone to come back from this in footy. Well done to the cats for sticking by him too.

Agreed, I never went back to footy after doing mine, 4 times is just insane, building your strength up in one leg is a year long task, I really can't imagine doing it for four years in a row.

Yeah, I packed it in after I did mine. If I didn't have a reco I would have won 4 Brownlow's.

I started out with nothing and i still have most of it left

 

[Freoforever86]

Awesome job!! Hopefully see him & Morabito going head to head soon

 

[Righteo]

Gutsy bastard, wish him all the best

 

[Freeeoo]

Good luck fella.

 

[manboob]

GET AROUND HIM!

 

[dct66]

A huge physical effort to come back from 4 knee reconstructions and I can only imagine it's a much bigger mental effort. Good luck!

 

[Big Fozza]

Great credit to him as a person to get back to where we are now. Lots of hard work and definitely an inspiration to others. Hope he goes well

 

[Nikita Blue]

All the best to such a gutsy determined player

 

[JordanStorm]

Best of luck to him, more than deserves some luck. Great effort to come back from one knee reconstruction, let alone 4.

 

[bradrowe#32]

It's a great story. All the best to him.
