Having a good year & a fantastic month :thumbsu:

I hope he can keep it up for the remainder of the year.
 
Congratulations Angus Monfries, I was very critical of you in my first post on the gameday thread, calling for you to be shot or traded to GWS (from memory) after your unforgivable turnover and subsequent Adelaide goal in the first qtr, however after that you fought but brilliantly and in the last qtr you were everywhere getting the hardball/free kick/clearance.

Please let this be the last corner turned and you now have the confidence in yourself and your team mates to start producing consistent top class efforts like tonight.

Essendon is a better team with you firing on all cylinders.... Keep it up :thumbsu:
 
Usually he would be kind of "Hollywood", and have the sort of eyes that would dart around like he was a kid at a playground... but tonight, he looked way different.

Especially at the end of the game. I've never seen him that happy to win a game before. And I don't mean a full blown celebration - I mean the sort of reserved, quiet personal happiness. The way he pounded the ground and bowed down... it's the kind of thing you see in a dead beat dad who suddenly becomes a caring father.

It was weird.

What I mean is, his behavior on the ground and his demeanor was completely different.

Shot huh? :p:D
 
best game i've seen him play. certainly from a midfield point of view. could be a good 'grunt' for us in the future.

was cursing him when johncock kicked those 2 early goals though :|
 
I was rapt that he spent time in the midfield - you can always do with an extra rotation - Has shown in the past in his brief spells in the midfield that he can find the footy.
 
Where's 35 disposals come from. Even says so in AFL report. But i see he had 18 kicks and 9 handballs. I'm slightly confused. But brilliant last 3 quarters Gus - I've never said anything negative about you apart from the diving :thumbsu:
 
Hope the extra midfield time is a sign of things to come because he has always shown a bit there without dominating.

Would be on track for his best B&F result. I think I'm in the minority here but he's one of our most consistent players.

Played a great game last night and is one of the blokes that ignites the Dons. Used to "hate" this bloke - seemed to always play well against us. Respect him for his honesty as far as staging for free-kicks goes - took guts to come out and say what he did! The "hate" has gone!:thumbsu: Waiting for Selwood, Murphy, et al. to come out and say something similar!

Gee, am I the only one who doesn't think Selwood stages? He's as tough as nails, too. Yes he slips his arms up and puts his head over the ball, but nothing like Gus, Murphy, and Harvey. Thanks for the comment Deep Blue :)
 
He's shown a fair bit of character in the last few weeks.

-Under rated performance against Richmond, I think the goal he kicked from 50 really lifted the side.

-To come out and admit he dived against hawthorn.

-Then a great comeback after Johncock took him to the cleaners earlier in the game.
 
Great game but was let off the hook when Johncock got injured as he carved Gus up in the first quarter.

Very good after that and pleased that i can take him out of my "trade" players.
 
Best game he's played for the club throughout his entire career without a doubt. Singlehandedly kept us in the game and drew everyone else in.

Yep! I felt he gave up the acting bit and turned into a Kamikaze and was inspirational in lifting the team. Even the BS free awarded to Dangerfield didn't faze him. I watched that several times on the replay, but Gus just went on with the job afterwards.

Greatest compliment was from Jimmy after the game when Ritchie interviewed him (it's on my recorder) :" Played like a man!".:thumbsu: Possibly the greatest compliment from the MAN himself.
