Has the top end talent of the league declined?

[Pessimistic]

No, it's just that all the good draftees end up at the crap clubs.It's a disgrace that Lukosius, Rankine and King, 3 of the best prospects in years have to go to Gold Coast to get bashed around in games and receive poor coaching.

You have to wonder the long term effects on the comp as a whole. It’s beyond belief Carlton and Melbourne, who had the best picks consistently, chose badly for so long

Bontempelli is the upper echelon of elite in the afl, game winner in a good side needs 15 - 20 disposals and it's a given they win the game, he is on another planet

Were the Bulldogs not a good side in 2016 then?

Because in all 7 of your losses that year he had more than 15 disposals. In 6 of the 7 he had more than 20.

How is this possible when his otherworldliness guarantees wins?
