Surely he wouldn't leave after he slid so far and we took the punt on him.

I think his management may be worried about injury, probably want a decent longer term contract (3 or 4) years instead of the standard 2. That way even with a knee reco he will be able to play a decent amount of football before his next contract negotiation.

If he signs for two and does his knee and hardly plays before his next contract, he would be in a poor negotiating position.
Did you read this in the paper or someone told you?

You'd hope not but stranger things have happened.

I heard from somebody (who heard from somebody else and so on, etc.)

The way these things go though the source may have based it on what they read in the paper (which said very little), and then expanded it using their imagination, so not too worried.

Would definitely like to see him sign sooner rather than later though

What's all this talk of throwing it in if we lose Menz?

If Geelong want him they'll have to pay overs. He's not a free agent and there's no way known he'll make it to their pick if he goes into the draft.

Would much rather keep him of course (as exciting a prospect we have) but my love of the club extends beyond any one player, particularly one that doesn't want to be here.

Whilst the Menz hint is nice, this is the guy who said Ollie Wines wanted to come home to Carlton and signed with Port the next day.
Ssssshhhoooossssshhhhh Miss ;)
I read today that we might sign Menzel in the next week. Lets just smile about it and have a happy Friday ;)

Please don't get excited by this (i know it will be a hard not too), but the club is doing everything possible to get a young GUN KPP from GWS. Can't say who the player is or what we are offering yet, but there is a small possibility that it may actually happen.

As long as the deal doesn't involve Menz leaving :p

Saw someone posted that we are looking at 2 players from GWS.
Was also mentioned on one of the radio stations.

Good news MS3 and hope we can get it done.
