Rumour Report: Angus Monfries to Melbourne (Jay Clark, HS)

[kelvin_sheedy]

Sinclair was rubbish on Friday, yeah he tagged Birchall pretty well but he clanged pretty much every kick he had

Sounds like someone we know.

I hope we keep Gus, I still say he is more valuable (and consistantly works harder) than both Jetta and Davey. All of this rubbish about him not being a "star" is just a load of tosh, stars don't win you flags, just a solid, comitted group who work their butts off for each other will do the trick. I have met him several times and he is a lovely bloke, quietly-spoken and very polite.

And who are the same ol' haters going to use as their whipping boy if Gus goes?

You know you need one...

Actually think Jetta will get some heat next year. Esp if Monfries goes (which I think he wil)

Someone blow up the bigfooty servers now, because we will never reach this peak again.

Could also go to Port ? Has family in Adelaide.

[Duckworth]

Yeah, there hasn't been any developments on that for a while. I guess it depends on the other FAs we are looking to get in.

I think the general feeling is if we get Goddard we simply can't offer Monfries what we were paying him before, let alone match an apparent increase from Port Adelaide. We've probably offered him less in anticipation of Goddard coming, and if he doesn't we could then up that to possibly around about what he's been getting the last few years, which could be in the ball park.

I get the feeling Monfries would prefer to stay, but the two offers from Port and Essendon are just that far apart that it's almost a "I can't turn this down for this" type situation.

My guess is that Goddard and Monfries are in the same boat - Current Club happy for them to leave - Have no intention of matching the offer.

And my understanding is that the club doesn't have to make an offer - read Moloney.

Monfries is most likely leaving to go home, for a long term deal.

He also could just be holding out to see if we do improve our list and if he thinks we are a premiership chance, if not, he might take the money and run.
