Unless you saw stuff different to me, i thought menzel was consistently jogging in the background as the ball left our forward line with ease for most of the second half.

When the game needed to be won he was constantly harassing and chasing. Kicked a goal due to his workrate.

Jesus, he probably put in the best individual defensive effort of the whole night.
Menzel had one good chase and was absolutely buggered afterward.

Hmmmm.... clearly missed that then.
Still building fitness. Probably not a natural athlete, combined with all his injuries has slowed him down. I think if he manages to stay fit for the year and can role into another preseason with full fitness, he should get better. There was one passage of play where he completed 3 or 4 hard pressure acts chasing down Essendon players in defense. He is a work in progress. Showed some good signs with some class moments.

A bigger deal out west.
Me neither, if we're a top 4 side we should win this match comfortably. We did.
We should also dispose of Gold Coast with equal amounts of comfort.

Rubbing it in now. This team of drug cheating jokers gets to play Anzac Day. Pathetic.
So his game today was AFL quality?
Not convinced. Hampton looks like he's showing something. Don't see anything radical about Menzel yet. Happy to be wrong though.
He was okay. Not great. 18 disposals at 88% for an outside player is good. Needs to build his body and defensive work. But to say flatly that he's not an AFL quality player is a ridiculous overreaction.
I'd definitely be backing Hampton in. I'd keep Milera in the side too.
Menzel borderline. If there's a player demanding selection, he's the first out for mine. If not, he stays in. He was alright, but only just.

Good. We opened the match like Essendon circa 2000 and then played like Essendon circa last year.
Building his game. Only 2 AFL games in 2 years and 16 games in the last 3. He needs a good run of multiple games to rebuild confidence and his game.
They played him around the ground a bit, seen him up forward, on the wing and in the middle. Not sure if trying to find his spot or just getting him involved etc.
Thats a good way to build his form. Let him find the ball rather than limit him to a role in the forward 50.
Yeah maybe so but at the time of posting he had a howler. It was the last straw for me. His last quarter was ok but the first three were ugly.
He is good enough I think we all know that but he must start improving the physical side of his game. Outside player or not.
This. Was at the game screaming about exactly this. And if we think Bulldogs get away with throwing the ball, it doesn't compare to what Essendon got away with. Holy Easterbunny!

Is it just me or does Jobe Watson throw the ball every time?
