Angus Wantsfrees

[dazzledavey36 49,739]

to be honest a change of scenery would do monfries well. would not be disappointed if he came to the dees.

[Wiseblood 24,636]

Just posted on twitter by Jay Clark from the HUN that Monfries is the small forward we have signed to a 4 year deal. Apparently rival clubs are convinced that it's happening. Obviously not a lock yet but the wheels are certainly in motion.

[Demon Disciple 11,190]

He's not a world-beater, but he's a better player than many are willing to concede on here.

[demon73 20]

Would easily fit in our best 22.

[BAMF 3,851]

I hated him as a bomber but would be happy to pick him up. After this year I would be very happy.

[Pipefitter 2,083]

Never been a fan but would play the small forward role much better than anyone else on our list.

[The Big Ticket 94]

He's not a world-beater, but he's a better player than many are willing to concede on here.

Agreed.

He's a B-grader at best, I definitely wouldn't say no to him.

[Carrot Top 947]

"Angus Monfries to Melbourne. Four year deal. Rival clubs convinced it's happening. Dees need a hard working small forward."

Jay Clark's twitter.

Not sure what to think of this. We do need one but is he the one we need?

[PaulRB 6,085]

Make a great step ladder for Jumping Jeremy Howe!

Actually wouldn't mind Morefrees

[stuie 7,374]

Take him for now hey. We may have trouble getting enough players in for all the ones that are leaving/being cut!

Hopefully we can land a superstar (or two), but I'm sure there will be one or two educated gambles like Angus. For now I back Neeld and Co. in, they nailed it with getting Clark in.

Your mail, or did you see the @ClarkyHeraldSun tweet "Angus Monfries to Melbourne. Four year deal. Rival clubs convinced it's happening."?

I actually didnt see that mate, heard it from an unrelated source. But looks to be on the money obviously

[dazzledavey36 49,739]

Massive News if its true, Neeld and co are straight into business in what the club needs! I know people might say but its only monfries but he has experience and apperently good leadership that will fit in well at demonland. A new change like clark will do him well! remember there was question marks over clark too

[Cheap Seats 3,308]

Wow first suprise this off-season

I would feel dirty barracking for him... very dirty

[MadAsHell 4,089]

Shannon Byrnes would be the "small forward" mentioned but unable to be announced?

Would prefer and am hoping it's Jarred Moore.

2nd free agent small forward I'd be keen on is Byrnes and then Monfries.

Monfries isn't the worst going around but certainly not the top of my list.

[dazzledavey36 49,739]

wonder if Damien Barrett will mention anything on the footy show

[Lil_red_fire_engine 10,443]

Still young, good kick and works hard on the lead but I wouldn't call him a small forward. Of the 18 odd goals he kicked this year most are on the lead. If its 4 years shows how hard we are having to push for FA.

Boak - Reigning B&F at Port

Caddy - No.7 draft pick developing beautifully

You - a Numnut

Reigning B&F at Port is the equivalent of being the king of Dubbo.

'Developing beautifully' isn't a mid in his 2nd year getting held to a mere 3 possessions in a full 'injury free' game of AFL footy.

Numnut? Nice, is that your highbrow material?

[wattsup 470]

i rate monfries and always have so its a yes from me he can push up into midfield aswell

[Hannibal 5,814]

Surely they're not so spooked by supporters and our lowly image that they'll settle on rubbish. They don't need to be seen to be doing something for the sake of doing something.

Surely ...

I shouldn't say he's rubbish, but FFS you wouldn't consider him a major catch, or a player worth spending decent coin on.

[Carrot Top 947]

Forgot about this place. I've never payed that much attention to Monfries so I'm not really sure what to make of it. I guess that Neeld and co have runs on the board with Clark so I'm assuming they got someone we can use to good effect.

[Moonshadow 16,572]

Apparently he is a w@nker of highest proportions

So? That describes about a third of all AFL players. Another third are w@nkers of middle proportions.

IF he fits the needs we have, wants to play for MFC and is prepared to take a preseason thrashing by Misso then get him. IF......

[Real Demon 232]

Looks like it's Port and not us currently into Monfries:

[dazzledavey36 49,739]

Was just about to post that link. looks like it was a shank rumour.

[demoniac 1,246]

No doubt his hammies are anxious to escape The Weapon.

Turns 26 in January. Don't see him as a dangerous small forward. More mid sized marking forward. Presume Neeld and Misson are sure he has tank to rotate through midfield.

No doubt there is a vacancy for a mid sized marking forward in our 22.

If he does come to the Dees hopefully Neeld and co can get him to play a tad harder than he has for the Bombers.

AND NO DIVING!

Reasonably confident that Tim 'Regularise Player Payments' Harrington would not authorise an excessive offer coin wise.
