Daniel Menzel may be playing his last game for Geelong tonight, and if so it's because he doesn't have a rounded enough skill set for the modern game. If this was still Malcolm Blight's team then kicking goals would be enough to hold his spot in the 22 from week to week, but even key forwards are expected to chase these days, and his 2018 average of one tackle per match doesn't cut it despite a career-best rate of 2.3 goals per game. He is also just the sort of player who will go missing in a final, as Jack Gunston did last night.
