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.

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
