Jye Menzie (born 28 October 2002) is a former professional Australian rules footballer who played for the Essendon Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL).
Menzie was drafted by Essendon with pick 15 in the 2022 mid-season rookie draft. [1] Menzie was Essendon's second selection in the mid-season rookie draft, having earlier taken Massimo D'Ambrosio as well. [2]
Menzie made his AFL debut for Essendon in round 20 of his first season, starting at the medical sub against North Melbourne at Marvel Stadium. [3] Menzie's only other game for the season came in round 23 against Richmond at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, where Menzie was once again the medical sub. He was substituted on and went on to kick his first career goal. After initially being drafted on a 6-month contract, Menzie secured a one-year contract extension to remain at Essendon for the 2023 season. [4]
Menzie impressed throughout the 2023 pre-season, including a 3-goal performance in a scratch match against Gold Coast, [5] enough to win selection in Essendon's round 1 team. [6]
At the end of the 2025 AFL season, Menzie was delisted after 47 games across 3 and a half seasons at Essendon. [7]
