hmm so we've already signed up an exciting small sized forward! surely with this news its monfries!? I did not see this coming.. but a very mouth watering prospect IMO!

I haven't really rated him at Essendon but he has his moments.. could be a big acquisition at the dees.

Judging by the source it's probably the first he's heard of this.

[demonoid 317]

still only 25. im ok with this

[melbfc2013 5]

If there is any truth to the article, monfries would be a handy player in the forward line to apply some forward pressure - which we have been lacking.

Dan Pearce would be v handy too - beautiful left foot. both of a good age 25/26ish and a few games under their belt.

we'll still need a kpp though

[Choko 493]

I really rate Monfries as a smart mobile forward who is capable of presenting and taking a strong mark on the lead. I am not sure if he fell out of favour at the Bombers because of his lack of engine maybe, but I think he would be a very good acquisition at MFC.

Forgive me if I'm not doing cartwheels.

You have got to be kidding me.

The guy would rather do his hair then lay a tackle........... PASS

thats gold

I would be very happy should Neeld et al be able to pull this one out of the hat.

[Deers 202]

SportsnewsFirst is to sports media what McDonald's is to food & dining and Fox FM is to music.

Cheap and tacky yet shamefully irresistible; but you will regret it over time.

[beelzebub 23,383]

A relevance is....compare him to what we currently have

Its all good! Sylvia will show him how to do both.

[melbfc2013 5]

hahhahahhahahah

NOOOOOOO been bagging him for years to my bombers mates! They are going to have a field day, I thought we wanted tough and hard players, the way this blokes acts for frees he should be on broadway not on the MCG!

It's a rumour on SNF...

And that article intimated that we have locked up a 'small forward' and Hagdorn is spitballing who it might be.

Might be Knights.

But again, it's a rumour on SNF.

[rolly 149]

Last small forward we got from bombers; gary moorcroft...how did that work out for us?

Even my mate who is refered to by all and sundry as 'bomber' calls him 'hollywood' monfries!

Weak choice and seems like buying games just because we have the spare cash like a packet of chewy at the supermarket cash register

[Frank Grimes 121]

Don't see why we would go after monfries when petterd can't get a game

[beelzebub 23,383]

yep..its SNF...and its Hagdorn...take it at face value most likely.

Still he was the first one I recollect to run hard with TS was all sign sealed delivered, way before it surfaced big time.

Not saying hes right, just he could be...lol

Hes only saying its under consideration, hes not calling it as done , not as I read it

The very poor choice that was Moorcroft (throw in Heffernan for that matter) is absolutely irrelevant to the current discussion....different players and more importantly very different footy departments at both clubs this time around.

Don't see why we would go after monfries when petterd can't get a game

maybe Monfries can kick and maybe Monfries can and will chase and provide defensive pressure and maybe Monfries doesn't 'sook off' if asked to do something by the coach that he 'doesn't like'! I would imagine if any of those KPIs didn't match Neeld's expectations then he would not be offered a contract.

[Dee_Flower 53]

We've done so well from Essendon castoffs over the years ... Morecroft, Heffernan ... sign him now.

[beelzebub 23,383]

theres nothing quite like the media putting 2 and 2 together and gettig 7 is there !!

Love this time of year . Rumours, goss, more rumours, hidden overlooked fact,more rumours , disinformation and occasionaly quip from the club.

Cant see the club saying boo until it needs to.

[Dr. Gonzo 24,305]

He's a spud who plays for free kicks. No way.

Are you intimating that there wouldn't be room for he and Lynden Dunn in the same team?

[DeeZee 7,445]

Id be wrapt if get Monfries and Pearce, hope fully one or two others as well,maybe Knights.

Experienced players who can use the ball is what we need, mix those with the youth we pick up in the draft, and its an injection of 5 or 6 new guys into the team, who will be wanting to prove themselves.

After landing Mitch Clark last year, i have faith in Neelds plans.
