Re: 6. Angus Monfries
I thought it was by far his best game for the season on Saturday. It will be interesting to see where he ends up. Pocket or midfield? Possibly he could swap with Jobe between the pocket and centre square.

Re: 6. Angus Monfries
I can't help but like him.
He's known as "little lloydy" to me and my mates, I've always thought he's shown heart and a desire to help his teammates out. I have seen several occasions where he has put his body on the line for a sheppard that has resulted in a goal.
Also I think he's a good shot a goal, nice action, and good general goal sense. IMO he and Davey will be our crumbing forwards of the future.

Re: 6. Angus Monfries
I reckon he will develop into a very handy forward pocket. I don't think he has the tank or a big enough body to cut it in the midfield.

Will turn it around for sure. Has the potential to be a great player and future cpatain.

Future captain.
He may not be showing as much as supporters would like, but I think he has the same intensity as Jimmy.

Re: 6. Angus Monfries
He would have to become better and play more in the midfield to be captain. Forward pocket is not the position of leadership IMO.

Good player, worth persisting with. Players mature at different ages. I think he'll do better next year as he'll get more time in the midfield. Needs to bulk up a bit.

Re: 6. Angus Monfries
Angus is a potentially dominant small forward but has defintely lacked in his midfield runs. Already has the class to make it as a very good footballer in the big league just a matter of wether he can take it to another level and become great.

Re: 6. Angus Monfries
I thought this year would be his break out season but he has been stagnant with his development. Going back to bendigo and getting heaps of the ball appears to have helped him, would like to see him rotate through the midfield more often.

Re: 6. Angus Monfries
I have a query about Angus.
Not sure if has the nous and smarts to be a pure midfielder.
Plays like a quick flanker with courage but doesn't have pace.
He should learn how to side step and open up the play.
Lenny Hayes should be his blueprint.

Re: 6. Angus Monfries
Oh Gussy, you could have taken that easy shot for goal where you were standing!
I was surprised to see him being twice manned up at times by the Crows who kept on sledging him.
I wanted to run on to the field and deck them.
Now I understand that Gussy needs a bit more mongrel in him. Oh, and some boxing lessons.

Re: 6. Angus Monfries
Or Mark Mercuri. I wish.
Did a few good things in the last quarter. Would still like to see him get a run on the ball.

Re: 6. Angus Monfries
A lot of player's struggle at first to make the the initial move from the pocket/flank to the midfield, Angus is one of these. He realises he needs to add more burst speed to his play and by his attitude you would think he will improve that again over summer. He has normally very reliable skills and makes good decisions. Be patient, players dont lose their ability over night.

What a 3rd quarter.

Re: 6. Angus Monfries
Looked a lot better the last 2 weeks and has got a bit of the footy.
Career high disposals today.
I had him for trade bait a week or so ago. A couple of more performances like this against better opposition and I might reconsider.

Re: 6. Angus Monfries
Games against Fremantle and Carlton have reminded me of why I was so excited about his potential.
He'll be all right......just needs to find his position, which appears to be more a midfield role than a small forward!
