Affectionally known by tigers fans as Menaspew, who somehow can’t get a gig over Castagna says it all

Completely different positions but yea not overly inspiring is it.

Having said if Bewley is the best we can do for a state league winger it makes you wonder whether a cheaper opposition winger may do a better job.

While I agree it is a questionable choice I'm willing to give Longmuir a chance with every single player on our list or any player we bring in. We have no idea how they'll play in a new system.

Well Castagna plays forward for starters and is probably in the side for his speed and defensive capabilities. Menadue is a 187cm winger/half-back. Sometimes players on lists that have a pretty much set 22 and going well find it hard to crack into the side.
We would be getting a player that's ready to go (23), has IP from the Tigers, is cheap and looking for a fresh start.

We're apparently chasing Connor Menadue, thoughts?

Why do we keep going after fringe players with poor skills. I don't get it.

 

[Cobbler]

I’m all for getting Menadue types. I’m all for Travis Colyer but they must earn a spot otherwise play the kids.

In the past I don’t feel this was done. I felt some were getting games when they shouldn’t have.

Sorry to intrude but this is friend of a friend type rumour that I have heard.

Apparently freo have been sniffing around Sam Taylor from GWS. I’m unsure of the likelihood given his contract status and I am unsure if freo have a KPD requirement

From what I've seen of Menadue he's got better skills than over half our team..

Yes and no.

We probably have requirement depth wise but best 22 looks covered for a while even if Taylor would be an upgrade.

So basically what I'm saying is we'd have bigger needs than a key defender but Taylor looks like he'll be quality.

Trade Radio is linking us with Zach Merrett???

If it’s this tweet, I think it’s more them saying we need a Zac Merrett type of player. Couldn’t see him coming to us at all, particularly when we’re finally getting the Heppell deal done

Got conformation from a Freo player that kelly and bennell did have a run in. He thought the departure of Bennell might have meant we were a chance to snare him this year.

Menadue started as a defensive high-half forward then shifted further back

Richmond has about 3 million injuries this year and he still couldn’t crack his spot even after a role change

Conca was a good pickup, Colyer not

Menadue is very much Colyer
