Monfries falls over again...

[robrulz5]

As a crumbing forward he has to rely on the midfield and others to get the ball down there.

Since when was he a crumbing forward? He has always been the lead-up type which is a role that suits him even though I wish he'd stay closer to goal like against St.Kilda

[swoodley]

I will take a player who can kick 30+ goals a season including the odd match winning performance even if it means he falls over to do it over a player who cant do jack yet manages to keep his feet.

Give Monfries a break - will finish in the B&F Top 10 this year

So which player are you referring to Windy?

[BenDoolan]

Mate....watch the last couple of minutes of that St Kilda game. When the pressure is on, Slattery has no f****** idea. Amongst the worse footballers in the AFL!.

Haha.....yes I was there for the last couple of minutes when Monfries took a mark 20 metres our from goal. Instead of taking responsibility for sealing the game, he kicked backwards 20 metres to Prismall.

Slattery unfortunately plays in one of the most difficult and thankless positions on the ground - back pocket. It's an "unattractive" role but someone has to do it. Slattery would be noticed more if he played on the likes of Monfries every week - someone who falls over after every contest allowing him to stream out of defence and setting up countless attacks. But unfortunately, he has to play on dangerous, lively, opportunist small forwards and has to play the "stay at home" style.

Any of our other small forwards.

Look it doesnt matter, I am simply making the point that despite having poor balance, he is still a valuable player

Lucas made a career out of going to ground by the way

That is a very bad comparison

Okay, lets trade Monfries...delist Jetta...f*** Davey off to Melbourne...blah blah blah......
There is going to be an abundance of talented players when GC and WS get their hands on all the top picks in the next 5 years.....
Seriously....support the players instead of bagging them at every opportunity....

Get off Monfries back! A talented YOUNG footballer who would have no problems getting a game for many other sides!

[BenDoolan]

Lucas went to ground.......with the ball firmly clasped in his hands.

That's a good one. What were you saying about Slatts?

[ealesy]

Hmmm quite ironic from a poster who only moments ago declared Slaterry as one of the worst foobtallers in the competition who has no f****** idea.

I guess we are only meant support the players you like, and we are allowed to bag all the players you don't like at every opportunity we get.

At least people have offered some valid reasons on why the feel Monfries and the other small forwards are struggling, you are simply bagging the shit out of a player in a vindictive and nasty way and while you are entitled to your opinion of Slattery it's not exactly backed up by what he has been able to produce this season.

Absolutely f****** disgraceful post you hypocritical muppet!!!!

Hi Gus!

My fingers are very sore from discussing this bloke. I am just mentally exhausted with him....

Why is it when Lloyd gets rubbish delivery it's the midfield's fault but when Monfries is continually on the end of stunted f***-ups out of the backline with missed handpasses everywhere that culminate in a rushed, rubbish kick into the forward line you blame him? Our delivery inside 50 was among the worst I've seen on Sunday which made Hurley's efforts all the more remarkable. Can definitely blame our half backs and midfielders for the loss on Sunday, not Monfries.

And accusing him of not taking the shot to win the game against St Kilda? Geeeez... he spotted a team mate who was:

Inside 50
Wide open
35 metres out from goal
15 degrees angle tops

If he had have gone back and kicked it himself and missed you Knights would have been all over him like a rash for not picking the better option. Good football. Bad football from Prismall to miss such a sitter.

Ah, I think you'll find I NEVER blame the midfield for Lloyd's woes up forward.

When you are 20 metres out from goal, on a 45 degree angle, with a minute to go, and you're only 2 points up, I thought it would be appropriate for a forward who has kicked 4 goals in that particular match, to go back and f***'n kick it. But hey, why not pass it off so they can blame someone else....

[Rossoneri]

Monfries did the right thing, he opened up the angle and Prismall was kicking from now more than 35 out. If Prismall was 45 out, different story.

Well said....finally some common sense on here!

He didn't do the right thing. Had Prismall goaled, it would have been a different story.
