    Do they know something that we don't.
    Interestingly he has a better goal rate than Nick Davis who couldn't tackle either but is a premiership player.
    Presumptuous of them. Kind of annoying that there’s been no news on the Menzel front, I thought the medical was supposed to happen last week ?

      It is possible that the Swans gave Menzel a medical and didn't like what they saw.

          Or they are just negotiating the contract still.

            Is Friday the last day of DFA signing?

              Friday 5pm November 16th. It's also the deadline for picks exchange (at 2pm).

                There's also a DFA signing period after the National Draft. It might be that the Swans decide to wait until after the draft, and if they are the only potential suitor Menzel has, there is little risk.

                One possibility (not likelihood, but merely possibility) is that if they get wind that an earlier than expected bid on Blakey could happen they decide to trade down some of those picks for lower ones that have higher points value (in total). If so, having an extra list spot available when they go into the draft might be an advantage.

                  Another possibility as stated by his manager is that five clubs are interested in Menzel and that he is still deciding as to where he would prefer to end up or continuing to negotiate terms.

                    Northern Adelaide boy, delisted. Power have tried a lot of these types in recent years, will probably throw him a lifeline.

                    Notr sure if no news is good news in this case, maybe it's all going on quietly and slowly? Like my love life!

                      I doubt anything that is "stated by his manager" as being 100% true.
                      Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
                      Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.

                            Aware of that , still presumptuous of whoever wrote it.

                            Edit- I think presumptive is the word I should have been using here.

                              Feels a bit surreal for me seeing Hanners at Saints training.
