THE WOODVILLE WEST TORRENS FOOTBALL CLUB IS DELIGHTED TO ANNOUNCE THE SIGNING OF BROTHERS DANIEL AND TROY MENZEL.
Daniel returned to Adelaide in 2020 to play alongside Troy in the SANFL after 80 AFL matches with Geelong and Sydney, whilst Troy has spent four of the past five seasons in the SANFL after 44 matches at Carlton and Adelaide.

On their signing coach Jade Sheedy said; “We are fortunate to have players of Daniel and Troy’s calibre want to come and play for our Club. The experience these two have had at both AFL and SANFL level will be invaluable to the group.”

“Troy has shown in the past couple of seasons at SANFL level his ability to impact up forward and through the midfield. Daniel has played mainly as a forward at AFL level but we certainly see him as being able to push further up the ground as well, which will give our group even greater flexibility.”

On the announcement Troy said, “Daniel and I are both super excited to be joining the Eagles in 2021. We look forward to getting stuck into pre-season with the boys in a couple of weeks.”

In other list management news, 19-year-old Eagles junior Jamie Coff has advised the Club he has signed with Central. The Club wishes Jamie all the best for the future.



You will also notice at the bottom of the release that they are announcing that Jamie Coff has left the Eagles to play with Central. I now expect Heater, Booney et al to get stuck into the Eagles, saying it is sour grapes for announcing where he is going

Centrals announced it a week ago. [emoji38]

i know, but you criticised Central simply for saying where the Menzels have signed, saying they should have only said they have left.. Haven't the Eagles just done the same with Jamie Coff?? Is it okay for other clubs to announce where their former players are heading but not Central??

You f*cking with me or serious?

Centrals announced Coff was coming on board last week. Eagles announced and wished well Coff at Centrals AFTER Centrals announced it.

Centrals announced the Menzel's are off to the Eagles BEFORE the Eagles announced it and also said ...looking forward to 2021 with "Team players"

$80k of his salary goes outside of the cap.

Both you and Heater criticised Central for announcing where the Menzels were heading (something all clubs actually do with their former players btw). I am just wondering why it is okay for other clubs to do it but somehow not okay for Central?? I can accept it if you think that we should have waited until after the Eagles made the announcement... but you seemed to indicate it is something that a club should never announce - leaving it to just 'they have not re-committed tothe club'.
Your own words: Not hard to say "The Menzel brothers have advised the club they will not be recommitting to the club in 2021"

Cheers

P.S. This should be the last I will say on the subject... moving on.

P.P.S.Sorry, mea culpa ... I just reread what you and Heater wrote - although at times it was not incredibly clear, I now believe you were both alluding to the fact that Central announced it first... and I accept that that is incorrect protocol. I think I lost the plot for a bit... just like you said my club did
I would love to claim it on the shock of losing Troy and Dan... or on the heat... but I think I just plain stuffed up!

At the same time, I am sure our supporters appreciated hearing the move to the Eagles on our website first... rather than the 'upset' of hearing it on an oppostion website or on here. Maybe not the correct protocol, but an appreciated step given the importance of Dan and Troy to us.
