[RiOtChEsS]

Troy Menzel (really excited about this kid, has a touch of the Pendles)
Former club: Central District DOB:22/09/1994 Height:186cm Position:Forward Weight:77kg
PLAYER ASSESSMENT
Left-footed medium forward with exceptional goal sense both on the run and with set shots. Kicked 9 goals vs Tasmania and 6 goals vs NT in sensational fashion in first 2 games of the 2012 AFL U18s before a groin injury interrupted his season. He starred for the Australian U18 team on the European tour earlier this year. Brother of Geelong Cats’ Daniel.

Tom Temay
Former club: Sandringham Dragons DOB:06/02/1994 Height:180cm Position:Defender Weight:75kg
PLAYER ASSESSMENT
Small defender/midfielder who is a great competitor and is rarely beaten in a one-on-one contest. Prolific ball winner for Vic Metro averaging 18.8 disposals at 77.3% efficiency in NAB AFL Under 18 Championships. Father Paul played 52 games for St Kilda.

Nicholas Graham
Former club: Gippsland Power DOB:12/06/1994 Height:183cm Position:Midfielder Weight:79kg
PLAYER ASSESSMENT
Medium midfielder who is a terrific competitor with great lateral movement and evasive ability. Strong overhead and very good by foot, he has been a prolific ball winner for Gippsland Power this year averaging 25 disposals. Can also play role up forward presenting as a target and applying good defensive pressure

Menzel will be a star if the dodgy Menzel knees hold up

My mate's a Carlton supporter and he is hell close mates with Daniel Menzel so safe to say he got a bit excited about troy coming to Carlton

[RiOtChEsS]

The other two aren't half bad either. That's a win for Calton.

As a Centrals supporter here in SA i think you'll be happy with him if as quinny said his knees hold up. Had Lars surgey at 16 on his right knee which looks to of been a success. but all in all this is the only risk i see with drafting him. If the knees stay healthy he'll be a great assett to the Blues. Knows where the goals are and can kick plenty when he's on. Brother of Daniel so there is a genetic worry regarding their knees i feel.

No talls??  I thought Carlton have been crying out for talls for the last few years (same as Freo)

I'd imagine that will be their priority in the pre season draft. One prospect would be -

Along with Liam Flaherty from the ACT (195cm) and Nick Rodda from West Perth (194cm).

Both his knee injuries were collision induced, not like Daniel's last one (not sure about the first)

[Ziplock]

the first one  for troy I can't remember, it was induced though.

the second one, he went down on one knee and someone came across the back of his leg.
