All completely different players and all stars! This **** measuring contest between supporters is ridiculous. Bonts an absolute match winner and reminds me of hird in the way he can change a game, Merret has a touch of cousins about him (hopefully not off the field) and Cripps will be the best contested player for the next decade. I'd be wrapped to have any of the 3!

Merrett and Cripps lack the intangible quality that Bontempelli has. Both are very good, but Bontempelli is top five in the league.
In intangible qualities? No, he's not.
Paddy Ryder, Jayden Hunt, Paul Puopolo, George Hewett and Jack Macrae are the clear top 5 players in the league for intangible qualities.
Personally I'm through trying to decide who's better. I think 9/10 people if given the choice now would pick Bont, including me, probably, maybe... But I don't care. All 3 are genuine titans who literally have me tuning in to their games to watch them play
He was bloody awesome wasn't he. He had a real presence today I thought. An aura. Great game.
All 3 knocked it out of the park this week. Good times
He's not talked about in the thread cause he wasn't drafted with other 3 not sure why demon fans keep overlooking this ...

I'm glad Merrett is starting to get the credit he deserves. The kid was incredible all of last year and a lot of his output was unfairly dismissed. Quality quality player.
Due to the endowment effect, I doubt any supporters of the 3 clubs would willingly trade the player they currently have for the others.
I agree, Bont is probably better at this stage, but all are incredible footballers.
Personally, I would also throw Oliver and Kelly into this mix
Cripps didn't have his best game but still dragged Carlton back into the contest.
He plays better when the opposition get stuck into him and he fires up a bit. Enjoyed him giving Lewis a spray about his recovering bald patch.

Endowment effect. Awesome nomenclature
