It maybe that Menzel is not good enough. There may be others in our 22 with the same question marks.
But its going to be hard to evaluate any player as long as our game plan doesnt stack up. For one thing, our problems were plain to see last year against Geelong, Swans and WCE. This was well before Menzel.
Our game plan has to be suited to the cattle we have. Not the cattle we wish we had. At the moment the problems lie at the top - with Don Pyke and his assistants. If they can figure out a game plan that can take this group of players and make them competitive in a game like today, then we can see which players are worthy of our 22 and which need a line through them.
I have my doubts about Menzel and Hampton. But I am not willing to put a line through two players who actually can tackle and put on defensive pressure while that is still one of our glaring weaknesses.
