Stats
Bio
Born in Richmond, Frederick Monkhouse was a mature-age recruit who did not make his VFL debut until the age of 29. He was called up to the South Melbourne squad midway through the 1900 season, appearing in two consecutive matches during the winter months. Standing just 169cm, Monkhouse was a diminutive footballer suited to a roving or forward pocket role, managing to boot a goal during his short stint in the seniors. His career at the top level was fleeting, featuring in losses to Geelong and Melbourne in Rounds 12 and 13 before he dropped out of the league as quickly as he had arrived.
