Menzel has obviously fallen out with the club because they won't give him more than a year contract. I'd happily take him on a two year deal. . He knows he won't get huge coin. Guy is a goal-kicking genius and would sit very nicely in the F50 next to Jack, Lynch, Dusty, George + Butler etc.

Murdoch also worth a spot IMO. Agreed upgrade on Ellis.

Menzel does not do the forward pressure thing so cannot see how he would fit into our forward game plan structure

Does Dusty do the F50 pressure thing? Not really...

Jack actually does.

It's a fair point, but having 2-3 of Castagna, Butler, Rioli, Higgins and Bolton there would help...

We already have a much better version of menzel in Caddy.

Our forward structure now is spot on imo with jack and lynch as the 2 talls surronded by smalls rioli/butler/castagna/higgins/baker/bolton with caddy and martin rotating between midfield and forward.

I must be the only one who thinks Murdoch is a spud. Bellis looks like a superstar next to him. Pass for me.

Menzel can play but is lazy. Would rather put time into a youngster......

Murdoch is better than Menadue and Bellis put together.

Doc, seriously how much footy have you seen Murdoch play?

Each time he's played against us recently, he's looked like a spud. All my Geelong mates think he's a spud and is a whipping boy just like Ellis. There is a reason he was delisted....

No to Murdoch. Can run but that's where it ends.

One minute Bellis is a superstar compared to this guy, the next minute he is a whipping boy?
You need to ask one of your mates which one it is you think?

Going off your comments, you have seen Murdoch about 4 or 5 games in the last 60 odd!
Not a great sample size Doc!
If you are going to have an opinion, try and make sure it’s yours.

For the record, Richo is my favourite ever Tiger, so no I have never bagged him.

Not only my favourite Tiger, but the best I have ever seen.

And a great Tiger man.

Comparing him to Bellis is un - Tiger - like and you should be ashamed of yourself.

I'll say it again. He's a spud. Thats ny opinion after having seen hi play his entire career. In particular, he's been a spud when playing us, where I have watched him live. He makes Bellis look like a superstar. Bellis is better at reading the ball off the boot. Bellis is much better overhead.
My Geelong friends also think he's a spud. They agree with me. My opinion is not obtained from them. It agrees with their opinion.

My opinion is shared by the Geelong hierarchy. They've watched him closer than you and I, yet they agree with me as they've delisted him. What makes you think that you are right and I am wrong? The evidence is stacked against you amd not me.
OER. Calling it as it is since 2004.

You ever sit in the stands and listen to the abuse directed at him from many of our own during most of his career, especially the Frawley years?

Was unbelievable. Absolute nuffies.
