About Michael Moncrieff
- Michael Moncrieff (born 19 August 1952) is a former Australian rules footballer who played for Hawthorn in the VFL during the 1970s and early 80s. A tall full forward, Moncrieff was a prolific goalkicker for Hawthorn and topped their goalkicking on five occasions.
- The two times that he kicked 90 or more goals in a season came in premiership years for Hawthorn, 1976 and 1978.
- In 1976 he managed a career high 97 goals. In 1977, with the return of champion Tasmanian full-forward Peter Hudson, Moncrieff moved to the backline.
- He returned full forward in 1978 and in the 1978 Grand Final he kicked four goals.
- He represented Victoria on three occasions.
- He kicked 10 goals in a match three times and holds the joint Hawthorn record for most goals in a final, kicking eight in the 1978 Qualifying Final against Collingwood. Prior to the 1984 season, Moncrieff joined St Kilda.
- As was permitted by the rules, Moncrieff trained and played practice matches with St Kilda during the pre-season while St Kilda and Hawthorn continued to negotiate his clearance and transfer fee; but negotiations broke down and a transfer fee became nearly impossible to assess when Moncrieff suffered a serious knee injury in a practice match, which saw him miss fifteen months of football and ultimately retire from the VFL without playing a match for St Kilda.
- Following this case, the rules were amended to require a player's clearance to be finalized before he could train with his new club.In 1986, Moncrieff played for Sandringham in the Victorian Football Association.Off-field, Moncrieff served as president of the Victorian Football League Players' Association, and later served as a member of the AFL Grievance Tribunal.
