All starting from the way the club handled the Jeff Andrews saga. If the Menzel boys wanted to go to another club for money they wouldn’t be playing in the sanfl. I think you’ll find there is a lot more to this that the club is not letting on.
you are sooooooooooooooooooooooo wrong, everything's fine at Centrals, a couple of players have gone elsewhere, for some very good reasons, nothing sinister at all, happens to every club, on the other hand we are actively seeking other players & if we pull these off, people won't be speculating so much.
Chill
Other than the legal matter from arse holing the previous coach and a set of born and bred Centrals brothers leaving to play elsewhere everything is fine.
Whilst the Menzels played all their juniors at Centrals making them born and bred they weren't as ingrained into the club as most. They came to the club from the Golden Grove Football Club not really the traditionally Central breeding ground like Elizabeth or the Barossa.
I don't believe either of the Menzels started playing for the club until 17's neither played in the junior development squads (15's old samboy cup stuff) as far as im aware.
At the end of the day they only had 3 years at the club and had spent much longer times at Golden Grove and in the AFL system.
Whilst its not ideal to lose them unless we don't really know what the motive was. Like all trades/recruits/draft we can analyse the decision in around October 2021 and know whether it worked or not.
