Marcus Bontempelli Re-signs till 2019

[Stevey J]

Plus on the Bulldogs board bumping a thread might just be one that slipped to the second page. That just means probably a week without activity, on the GWS board that means months.

There's a GWS board?

Inb4 Norm De Guerre

Two years on the senior list and two years on the rookie list before that - he's 23.

Terrific player.

How Cripps even came close to The Bont and that much ahead of McGovern is beyond me.

Easier to stand out in a terrible team I guess, much like Hogan?

 

[Kony Abbott]

I guess in a similar fashion to how Dahl stood out in 2012 when we were very ordinary, before there was a bont/stringer etc stealing the limelight

 

[King Bont]

Where was Hogan?

 

[spider1004]

Fair Go Men - Both Cripps and Hogan are seriously good players and it is a fair measure of the Bonts talents that he was judged to be better than them

 

[Igloo]

Bont is the man.

 

[Zeno The Great]

Where was Hogan?

I think it's technically his first year, so isn't eligible. Can lock him in for the win next year.

 

[flipper83]

Think first year players are eligible. It's his third year on their list however so may be ineligible the other way.

McGoverns fourth year overall on a list

 

[Zeno The Great]

McGoverns fourth year overall on a list

yeah they must only go by years on the senior list. Not sure how that works with mid season rookie upgrades

 

[flipper83]

Yep good point. Not sure how our works then.

 

[cleveland]

Bonti heard the chant i started near the final and liked what he heard so signed on for 2 more. Now to get more involved with the Bonti chant.

wait till he kicks the goal before starting it..extra pressure

 

[dogupya]

Is it wrong that i just blew a load?!?.

My man..... It's never been so right!

 

[immortalmike]

Damn those second year blues!

 

[Testekill]

Damn those second year blues!

HEY!

LEAVE CRIPPS OUTTA THIS

 

[Mofra]

Cripps is a star. Pretty much single-handedly carried Carlton this year.
I'd take the Bont and Jake Stringer before him though. To be honest, I'd take Libba too

 

[immortalmike]

HEY!

LEAVE CRIPPS OUTTA THIS

Nah he's a second year Blue.

Isn't the award supposed to be over their first two years? If so Cripps was nowhere last year.

This. They are all guns.

 

[threenewpadlocks]

Cripps was only a little bit better on a per-game basis this year than the Bont was last year.

 

[Testekill]

Cripps was only a little bit better on a per-game basis this year than the Bont was last year.

Even then, Cripps averaged about 2 handballs to every 1 kick while Bontempelli has always had more kicks then handballs including 80 more kicks this season and I would bet that he is a long way ahead in terms of metres gained.
