Angus Monfries (born January 19, 1987) is an Australian rules footballer currently playing for the Essendon in the AFL.
Despite being a player of small stature, quick thinking Angus Monfries in his short career is best known for his fierce determination, ample courage and keen attitude towards training. Picked at 14 in first round of the 2004 AFL draft, he spent a number of weeks, in and out of the side the following year during his debut season. With the club underperforming in transitional year, he himself did perform gallantly as a handy small forward, signalling that he should eventually become a focal point within Essendon's midfield. His early endeavours have begun to garner him notoriety in greater AFL circles. Essendon fans have applauded his ability to only have eyes for the ball in every contest and his maturity that also opines that he will more than likely become a part of the club's leadership group at a young age.
As a child he grew up supporting Adelaide, yet as a year 7 student at Pembroke School, Angus notified all AFL clubs of who he was with a record of his junior football statistics, his school report and a letter of desire to someday become a professional AFL player. Now settled in Melbourne, he is currently studying a degree in Journalism at La Trobe University.
Angus was rewarded with Most Courageous Player at the 2006 Crichton Medal (Essendon Best and Fairest.
