He has a terrific character, though. Trout assures us there is absolutely no chance he will reinjury his knees, and that they are not a problem in his ongoing training and playing regime.
What's his family like?
Very important that his aunts are polite and well mannered.

Top class apparently, Con. It's all systems go! Let's get him. At worst it will create a number of entertaining threads on here!

Yep. Even if he is the worst tackler in the AFL. Which, by the way, he is.

Bloody hell. If anyone needs a daily dose of negativity about anything to do with St Kilda and the entire AFL then this is the place to visit.

The last thing we need is a injury prone list clogger.

With his knee reco's he will lose speed very quickly as he gets older.

AS for Motlop, has their ever been a bigger fair weather player. Absolute spud

Is Menzel better than Wellar, Lonie, Wright and Minchington? (Our worst HF's/FP's after Billings and Gresh).

Answer is yes: Menzel kicked 38 goals in a side that finished 2nd. He's ahead of the above Saints players I initially listed (not JB and Gresh). Something to ponder.

Correct 100% we should be right into him. Send Armo to the Gold Coast which helps Geelong get Ablett and we get Menzel.

Oh god, I hope the club is a bit smarter than this… but you never know.

Who gives a s*** if he is better than our 38th best player. We don't need a $400,000 medium forward who doesn't tackle.

How about we have a look at why Geelong are trying to offload them… they're after better, younger players - not a bad approach.

I'm sure we could find a slightly better ruckmen than Holmes too, but we don't need another one.

Why would we help get Ablett back to Geelong… to watch them win another flag? F that.

If we have to send Armo anywhere, let's do it for a player we need, not a free agent with 4 knee recos which a good side wants to palm off.

This one is more like a dose of realism, PS. He's got skill, no doubt, but he's injury prone, poor defensively and certainly not what we need at the moment. Motlop on the other hand, as a RFA, might be worth a punt. Quick, skilfull, and his best is very good. AA wake up call through a change of club might just be what he needs. His potential upside is enormous. And he can kick straight.

PROS
Is actually a good kick on goal.
Can be merurial
Can be gained as a FA
$$ ost should not be high


CONS
Injury prone with the Cats clearly doubting his
Is not meant to work hard enough when the opposition win the ball
Is inconsistant


DISCUSSION
Most in this thread seem thread seem to be comparing him to our small forwards. However he is actually a third tall and so the player to compare him with is Tim. Stats wise Tim is better, though not by much. But Tim is younger and more robust.

Tim is also the one St Kilda forward that Menzel is not better when it comes to accuracy. They are both good kicks.

So can you play two third talls? Because Menzel pushing Tim out gains us nothing.

Would seem an odd pick up given we have Bruce, McCartin, Membrey and Battle.
