I was really upset when this kid didn't get taken in the draft, it made me honestly wonder what had gone wrong in Tassie that he wasn't picked up, I thought he'd go in the second round and he went undrafted. Honestly view him as one of the best young players to come out of Tassie. He's a legit burner, super competitive, tackles like an animal and the trait that really stood out for me is that he's really clean when the ball hits the deck.
I can't really think of a player comparison, but he does remind me of another athlete.
It was definitely a shock when he didn’t get picked up, I watch state league here every week and I hadn’t seen an 17/18 year old that comfortable at that level since Tarryn Thomas.

That issue we have been having with players not sticking up for each other won't be an issue with Jye. He's a Bridgewater lad, legit one of the roughest suburbs in Australia.
If that’s what you’re in to
You’ll find both would take it as #69 goes both ways
some ripping wineries on the borders though.

Here's hoping.
If he's Smith's short, medium and long term replacement, I'm for it.
Let's hope he's not antagonistic to the detriment of the side and his game.
Sure is.

I’ve thought for a while we needed another Josh Green.

Not quite
I thought Josh Green was a Midway Point lad? Think he played for Sorell before Clarence.
Bridgey and Sorell aren't far away as the crow flies. But it would be a 35-40min drive.

Yep correct, Green played for Sorell as a junior and Menzie played for Brighton.

Could easily be the case. We are short 1 or 2 genuine small forwards anyway so you can take your pick out of Guelfi/Smith/Waterman

According to Essendon's website, Menzie has No. 47.
Title edited accordingly.

I guess you could say we've got both Jye's on the ball. I'll see myself out.

Bridgewater is no joke. Ive been there once and was attacked by a group of 10 yoofs, one pulled a knife, but I got away and they damaged my rental car in the process, mind you that morning I had spoken to the servo cashier that had stitches from a recent robbery.
Whilst at the Hobart cop shop making a statement at the front desk a detective walked past escorting a 30 something woman out of an interview room, he came back and realised we were talking about how rough Bridgewater was and was like "yeh that woman I just walked out is from Bridgewater, she was here to report he brother for sexually assaulting her".
This was less than 10 years ago, yeh nah yeh, if you are even driving nearby just keep driving
