He was born and raised in the suburb of Collingwood in Melbourne and had a brother, Jack, who played for the Collingwood Football Club. He attended Victoria Park State school where he took up Australian rules football and cricket and after graduating he began playing in a Church of England cricket competition for the St. Phillip's Crescent team as an allrounder. Jack Ryder encouraged Monohan to join the Collingwood cricket club ahead of the 1915-16 season and he played two games for the thirds side, five games for the seconds, and made the best eleven by the end of the season as a solid batsman and change bowler.[2]
