We show that in the dual version of the generalized Dick model monopole-anti-monopole pairs have finite energy. It is possible to use the potential between monopole and anti-monopole to find the mass spectrum of the glueballs. The results are discussed in connection with the Faddeev--Niemi model and toroidal soliton solutions. Some other finite energy configurations are found, both in the magnetic and electric sector.
