for years folks have been waiting for a break through game or a break through series.
instead what monty has given us is incremental improvements from his debut to sneaking up into being one of the elite midfielders in he competition.
IMO quality wise he's right up there with nick stevens, nick dal santo, foley in the bracket just underneath the uber elite midfieders, like hayes, kerr, black etc.
IMO monty at this stage if he can maintain his form and improvement growth will be a dark horse for the brownlow.
he is behind hayes, our most consistent midfielder.

I'd say that I'd be happy if he can regain his form of last year. I don't expect that he can get much more than that.
Looking at the midfield in general, both Lenny and Ball should be better this year as they are back to proper fitness. Dal I class an a potential elite mid - he is def. better than Stevens whom you class him alongside and IMO is only a smidgeon off Kerr/Judd/Cousins level.
Overall we look for improvement as a whole unit. This will hopefully come as all the mids are fit and firing and make it harder for the oppo to close them down.
