Monfries considers Demon move

I know its from Sports news first bla bla etc etc.

Discuss

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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?

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.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well
