There are parts of Gus's game that seem to suite the inside mid
He is on the bottom of the pack
He is actually a decent decision maker
Good skills
Puts his head over the ball

The problem of Gus is
Has no engine
Too small
Is alergic to leather CANNOT FIND IT EVER!!

I still like Gus but I really dont think he is going to make it.
 
He just hasn't developed at all.

I don't think sheedys love for the boy helped either.

Wasn't it word around the place that he had a "huge" pre-season???
What exactly did he do???
 
Feel that he is suffering from 'Luke Ball syndrome' in that he is best known for being courageous but not much else at the moment.

Has got the skills to be a very good player for us but is just not getting involved enough in the play.

Is probably best suited to playing an inside midfielder role but with Jobe and JJ firing, its hard to see where he best suits our structure.

Would like to see him develop into a Kerr type player as he does have the ability to get to that sort of level.

angus monfries does not deserve to be in the same sentence as luke ball when talking about courage or football ability

You have just answered your own question.
 
Re: Whats wrong with Angue Monfries?

There is nothing actually wrong with him except he's a very ordinary footballer.
 
Re: Whats wrong with Angue Monfries?

There is nothing actually wrong with him accept he's an very ordinary footballer.

learn to spell :rolleyes:

He's down on confidence with his disposal, it's been ____ing awful, but he got a lot of the ball did he not?

I was dirty as hell with him on Sunday. But the guy doesn't deserve to be pilloried. It's Richmond-like, some of the player bagging around these parts these days :thumbsdown:
 
Re: Whats wrong with Angue Monfries?

You know what, for all the rubbishing he's copped and how disappointed I was with his disposal, I thought he played his most promising game as a midfielder for the club.

First time Ive seen Monfries command the ball as a midfielder, he was in and under everything and running to receive. First time he has made an impact as a midfielder, he didnt look out of place.

His disposal is not as bad as he showed in the first half yesterday, its alot better than that.

Hard to comprehend for some but I think Monfries would have taken a whole lot of confidence from the game.
 
Re: Whats wrong with Angue Monfries?

He actually tried hard on Sunday. He forgot how to kick while giving 100%.

He'll come good in a couple of weeks.

I'm glad now that he's not playing 'stat footy', I hope he doesn't get dropped now....

I hope Knighta does us the most least and teach him how to kick.

Cause right now, teaching our guys how to defend is just to much for the big MK.
 
Re: Whats wrong with Angue Monfries?

very low on confidence but at least he worked hard to get the footy. i'd rather persist with him over the likes of lovett and jetta who have no idea what a contest is. i don't like lovett - his character and attitude should be culled from the club. hits his girlfriend, misses training sessions and doesn't put it in and help his teammates - very selfish footy player. trade lovett now why we can get something for him.

I'd prefer to trade you, but don't know if any other club would want you, maybe the Tigers.

thats nice...i live and breathe essendon and whilst i hate losing i prefer it when guys have a go and can walk off knowing they gave their all. clearly this isn't the case...

what hurts me most is watching a bloke like rama who gives his heart and soul for the club fighting back from cancer and knee reco doing everything in his powers to play then watching him being let down by blokes like lovett.

I think we should trade him he is not the sort of player we thought he would be and cant play the darren bewick goal sneak roll either because he cant kick. I think he would fit in better at freo. So lets give him the old heave ho!!:D

I think we got him because he was a smart footballer.....

There's Not many of them at Essendon ATM!!!!

I think he's been planned to be in more of a Luke Power role.

Trading him would be tragic for bomber fans.... he's our baby faced bomber!:p

Agree, trade him and get what in return !!!
Its easy to trade but what do u get in return is no guarantee to be any better unless its Judd

RE monfries, do you want to explain how any coach suddenly does this. :confused:

This is not able tennis YG, so your experience is not constructive. His confidence is down but no one can teach the skills you are talking about at this juncture. He is dead in the water, or if lucky, tradebait.

And if Knights gameplan is going to yield anything, it is that players like monfries have had a good chance and must go unless there is an unbelievable renaissance in form.

Lovett is not your average footballer. Three square meals and a phone call is not really home to some. Andy has big up sides if we can filter/finesse them , but does need to lift a little but he is by far not the worst.

Your Jetta comment was just uninformed [ok merv] but followed most of what you said and a

STUPID comment. Do you really need explanations for this ???

Just ask
 
RE monfries, do you want to explain how any coach suddenly does this. :confused:

It was just a joke pointed towards Matty Knight's latest coaching fiascos...

Obviously you can't teach him how to kick, he just needs more practice...

Not all my comments are serious..... Obviously:D:thumbsu:
 
I say we trade Monfries at the end of the year while he is still worth something to other clubs. Can't see any point in waiting for him to improve cos i don't think it will happen (my opinion).

The longer we keep him, the less value he will be in trade terms, and he'll just be another wasted first round draft pick.

So Knights signs Dyson up for 2 years - Dyson is out of the seniors and doing very little as usual and then they want him to trade Monfries who is at least in the seniors and had a better game on the weekend and can improve further given his strong personal work ethic. That makes sense!
 
Lets trade him now while his trade value is at its lowest. Buy high, sell low...the first rule in the bizzaro stock market.
