Troy Menzel (born 22 September 1994) is an Australian rules footballer for the Adelaide Football Club in the Australian Football League. ==Career== Primarily a medium-sized forward,〔 Menzel played his junior football for the Golden Grove Junior Football Club before joining Central District in the minor grades of the South Australian National Football League. In 2012, at age 17, Menzel was playing senior football for Centrals; he also represented South Australia at the AFL Under 18 Championships in 2012, kicking fifteen goals in two matches, but missing the rest of the games due to injury. Menzel was seen as one of the most talented players in the 2012 National Draft, but was also seen as a risky selection due to his injury-prone knees – he had suffered two knee ligament injuries during his junior years, and underwent a LARS reconstruction at age 16, in which the natural ligament is augmented with synthetic tissue.〔 He was ultimately drafted by Carlton with its first round draft pick (No. 11 overall),〔 and made his senior AFL debut for the club in Round 8, 2013, where he was prominent in the forward line. In Round 16, 2014, Menzel was given a AFL Rising Star nomination after playing well against St Kilda. In October 2015, Menzel was traded to the Adelaide Football Club in exchange for pick 28 and Sam Kerridge. Menzel's older brother, Daniel, is a footballer for the Geelong Football Club. Like Troy, Daniel has also struggled with knee ligament injuries during his playing career, having undergone four knee reconstructions, including a LARS reconstruction, before the age of 22. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Troy Menzel」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
