Career
Originally from Golden Grove, South Australia, Menzel played for the Central District Football Club in the SANFL, as well as representing South Australia in the 2009 AFL National Under 18 Championships, prior to being drafted by the Geelong Football Club with their first selection, and the 17th overall draft pick, in the 2009 AFL Draft.[1]
Playing for Geelong's VFL team for the majority of 2010, Menzel was awarded the Damien Drum Medal for a best-on-ground performance against Werribee.[2] His AFL-level debut came in Round 20 of the 2010 AFL season in Geelong's 101-point win against the Western Bulldogs, with Menzel scoring a goal.[3] In his follow-up match in the next round, Menzel scored three goals from three kicks, with Geelong defeating Carlton.[4]
As a result of a four-goal performance against St Kilda in round 13 of the 2011 AFL season, Menzel received that round's nomination for the 2011 AFL Rising Star award.[5]
In the first round of finals Daniel started well but he suffered a knee injury in the second quater (rupturing his Anterior Cruciate Ligament) that will require a knee reconstruction, and will rule him out for finals as well as much of next year's season.[6]
