Stats
Bio
Recruited from Northcote in the VFA, Dick Monteith was a defender who seized his opportunity during a golden era for Essendon. A half-back flanker noted for his reliability, he held his spot in the senior side throughout the 1911 finals campaign, ultimately tasting glory in the premiership victory over Collingwood. While the club went on to secure back-to-back flags the following year, Monteith played only two matches in 1912 before departing for Brighton in the VFA, leaving the league with a premiership medallion from his brief twenty-game stint.
