Cheers Coach. Maybe if you had watched the game, you’d have seen him chase on several occasions!

Can't wait to see him in red and white. Genuine x factor up forward.

Menzel wanting to play with Lance.
However, it was one name in particular that Menzel was excited to line up alongside, in the form of superstar Lance Franklin.
“It was part of the reason that I wanted to come here, no doubt,” Menzel said of the factor playing with Franklin played in making his decision to come to Sydney.

How much did Menzel play against the Suns? From what I can read he's still not up to a full match of playing time?
From what I could tell from the YouTube coverage it looked like he played the full game and didn’t seem to have any more time on the bench than anyone else.

Menzel will be a handy inclusion this week

Wishing Daniel all the best for his Swans debut game (in very familiar territory for him).
Have fun.
Have fun.

Our last two star forwards did not enjoy happy debuts for our club as we lost games we should have won. Buddy's debut came in our first ever loss against a poor GWS side, and the year before, Tippett's debut came in an upset loss to Port Adelaide.
Thankfully, we shouldn't win this one, so I'm tipping Menzel to have a big one

And then starred the following week against Carlton in the pouring rain if I recall. I should know, I was there to watch X Richards make his 6 sec debut or whatever it was!

Does a delisted forward with a history of 4 knee recos truly count as a star forward? I'm barracking for an upset tomorrow (albeit very unlikely).

Does he not? You didn’t rate Johnson as a star back?

Former Cat Menzel ready for second life as a Swan
ANDREW WU MAY 31, 2019
For the first time in a long time, Dan Menzel is pain free. He has not felt this way since 2011, before the first of his four knee reconstructions.
...
To put into context his 28 goals from 18 games, consider that Isaac Heeney kicked 28 from 24 matches in 2016 at the corresponding stage of his career.

Sounds like he's really bought into the club. I hope he has a long career with us.
Trigger clause on his contact for a second year too. I wonder how many he has to play? Likely 10-12 games I would assume if it's still an achievable figure.

You would think it wouldn’t be too many, they knew he was injured when they recruited him.

Well I hope he’s off the ground in those quarters where we don’t kick any!

I’ve always liked Dan... marvelled at his bag of tricks.
My excitement had waned with the messiah-like hype of his arrival here despite the obvious fitness issues, and when Gardiner stated he would play next week and I saw him out at the twos hobbling under the weight of a clipboard that weekend, it was like... “f*** him off”
An over the back handball to a teammate for goal, and that almost unexplainable juggle- nudge-mark and goal last week enough to win back my heart.
Stevie J, Buddy, Eddie, Breust, Gunston... nobody has the grace and cleverness of Menzel imo.
Regardless of the result, I hope the quality of the game matches the backstory of Dan and Gaz.

He is certainly a very talented player when fit, however I don't believe that Menzel is anywhere near the level to be considered like the "star" forwards (e.g Buddy, Lockett, Riewoldt, Brown, Pavlich, Ablett Snr, Dunstall etc)
Menzel needs a few more seasons of playing very good football before he could go close to being considered a star. He was delisted by the Cats last year and you just don't delist star players.
AJ also had a very good first season and has managed to ingrain himself into Swans history forever by becoming a 2012 premiership defender, however he also did not reach the level of being a star defender (e.g. Roos, Rance, Scarlett, Leppitch etc)
