Marcus Bontempelli - The next Big thing?

[SilentHunter_]

Also coming up on the late news:

- Malcolm Turnbull has seized the Prime Ministership in a coup of the Liberal party caucus.
- Australian journalist Peter Greste has been released from an Egyptian prison after more than a year.
- And in international news we discuss the upcoming Brexit poll and what Brexit could mean for the UK.


Seriously, where the **** have you been for the last 18 months? I love it when people open threads only for the content of the post to clearly show that they don't watch footy.

Calm down I do watch footy and I understand he's been a great player ever since he's debuted. However I am just pointing out the fact that not many players deliver in a cutthroat final like he did and now can be considered a true superstar of the comp. A lot of effort into a post that was based on nothing but false assumption.

My pants have been around my ankles since late in the third quarter and will be remaining that way for at least a few days thank you.

May as well leave them till next weekend, you'll be pantsed anyway

Bont is pretty special though. I think he's as classy and skilled as Scott Pendlebury only more physical, more athletic and more punishing and I rate Pendle's as one of the best players I've see wear black and white. Bontempelli is just a beast.

This. Pies fans have had the pleasure of watching Pendlebury be Pendlebury, and win a Norm Smith in a premiership side at only 21 years of age.

It's awesome to see Bont dominate in such similar fashion, at such a young age and with a similarly unique style of play. Dogs fans are in for a treat for the next decade. He'll lead them to a flag sometime soon, I have no doubt.

 

[conrad_437]

I feel blessed to have him in our team. I can only imagine what he could be like in a few years.

 

[Flags_In_The_Bag]

Fantastic player(Richmond supporter as well!).

Same as Fyfe

[QUOTE="Royal Flash, post: 46778101, member: 158131"]I wouldn't go that far. Judd was electrifying at the beginning of his career. People forget just what a jet he was.

As a person who loves good football no matter who is playing it watching Bontempelli and Trealor tear it up when we played the Doggies the second time had me salivating at the spectacle. It had me going all Bruce McAvaney to be honest.[/QUOTE]
As a Lions supporter I sadly remember his first game at the Gabba and tore us a new one, even Lethal knew and told the players to keep a eye on him but they must have not got the memo.

 

[PhiloBeddoe]

On the off chance (unlikely) that he a couple of blistering years and doesn't do a hell of a lot more, he'll still be the biggest thing because commentators will keep calling him the biggest thing.
Absolute gun but I fear that a routine handball will become genius......just as we hear with Cyril.

starting to become more than nuisance value inside the forward 50 too, which for a bloke who is 194cm, skilled, courageous and can run all day is very encouraging. All of this points to a game that will age well

 

[Godchin]

I'm not seeing the Fyfe and Kouta comparisons. He's slow and not explosive at all compared to those two.

Pendles is a perfectly apt comparison, in my opinion.

He needs to get a haircut too. The amount of times I saw him fixing up his hair in the contest last night was embarrassing.

I actually agree, he is certainly a 'thing' if observations like this are noted.

 

[Zuma]

My tip for 2017 Brownlow. Does he remind anyone else of a young dipper ?

 

[Porzingod6]

You need a good look in the mirror if you think Merrett and Billings are better than Bont

[ep2018]

He is Fyfe but with a decent kick. The 'Bont' will win more than one Brownlow before he retires (same with Fyfe).

 

[Rack Watts]

He's a bit less wrecking ball than Fyfe.
He's more like Hird.

 

[Sando22]

You could tell with him from day dot.
Freak. Show.

Different types of players, have some similar attributes though. If Bont can even win one Brownlow I'll be ecstatic.

 

[Doggy Dan]

Nothing left to be said. Just show a gif of the mark and goal against Hodge then the steal and pass to Dickson and close the thread.

Come off it champ. Kouta and Ffye weren't half as good as him at 20 years of age. You sound jealous.

 

[Hahndozer]

No he's a long way ahead of anyone his age, top 10 player in the league.

He has peers? News to me.

WHOOPS - Quoted wrong post. Oh well.

Fyfe was a B&F in the year we made the GF (when he was 21), and then MVP when he was 22 and 23.

But I do agree Bont's 2016 > Fyfe's 2012, but not by as much as you would think. Fyfe was injured for most of it but did get 14 Brownlow votes in the 8 regular season games he played.

 

[The 747]

He does remind me of Darth Hird.

 

[daffo]

He is a wonder. Could have a brownlow next year at 21 years old. Judd scored his first around that time. With a bit of luck with injures you could see him winning multiple brownlows.

He is a freak and best in the draft. Merrett and Cripps are behind him.

 

[Benno_900]

He's no Jed Anderson
