Tip of the hat to the man who kicked the winning goal in that famous game.
Part of a select group as a red and white premiership hero.Comment

Great little player, who had a great sense of occasion.
Sad he didn't finish a Swan.Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it's time to pause and reflect... MTComment

Always remembered as the Swan who kicked the winning goal in our first premiership in 72 years. Always a Blood. Wishing him all the best.Occupational hazards:

Hair shirt!I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his timeComment

Spoke to him at the Melbourne Family Day after the GF. Really nice bloke. Wish him all the best in whatever he does post AFL.Does God believe in Atheists?Comment

I will never forget that goal in the grand final (or the performance he put in that day). I look at the Premiership picture from that day that hangs on my wall everyday, and I immediately see in my mind that brilliant little duck to evade the tackle and the true snap he made.
About 5:20 in on the video below. Just watching that video made me realise how good a goal that goal before it from Big Bad Barry was. A pressure kick if there ever was one.

Good luck after footy Monty! You certainly will never be forgotten by any member of the Red and White faithful. The man that kicked the goal that broke our 72 year premiership drought. That is a story to tell for the ages

Good luck Monty and I wish you were able to stay a Swan, which we all consider you to be anyway. Winning Goal in the 4th Quarter and the look on y our face is a sight that stays with me.

Obviously, it's important to make every thread possible about Davo- but if you watch that goal from Monty the reason he gets clear enough to have a shot on goal is that all the Eagles players are so concious of Davo (the man in Monty's way is watching Davo and not the ball, and goes to Davo instead of Monty). It's like Jordan getting double teamed and Paxson hitting the winning shot.I will never forget that goal in the grand final (or the performance he put in that day).
