On The Couch put up a table last night that had Bont ranked as the #1 player in the league this year.
His season to R14 was the #2 highest ranked since the system came into effect in 2010. Only GAJ in 2014 was higher.
Every other player in the top 5 ultimately finished top 2 in the Brownlow that year (3 1sts, 1 2nd - GAJ x3, Dangerfield).

I reckon Bobby Hill is a little hard done by in Mark of the Week. He features once and will surely win this weeks round. I thought he had 2 of the best 3 marks of the round, however. Kruger and Daniher were so so. Hill had first and second imo.

Noticed this in the Ed Richards article on the AFL website:
www.afl.com.au
It's lazy from a normally good journalist - while drafted in defence Richards played his early career across the wing and half forward!
For instance, Richards had just 9 rebound 50's from 17 games in the 2020 season, while having 42 inside 50's.
It's a little thing but getting facts right is part of the job!
Dog thriving in new role, lauds Bont's 'Michael Jordan' impact
After moving into the Bulldogs' midfield, Ed Richards is learning plenty from some of the game's best

Hope young Charlie’s doing okay, must be a strange feeling being plastered across the papers for something you haven’t done

I believe the AFL are investigating a flurry of text messages between Charlie and his brother just before the incident. Yes, you read that correctly, the AFL are investigating text messages between a non best 22 dogs player......and his brother.
I may or may not be making this up.
Mid-season check-in: Top Dogs leading stats
See which Bulldogs are leading the stats at the midway point of the 2024 AFL season.
Disposals
Gun midfielder Adam Treloar (451) is enjoying a fine run of form this season, averaging a career-best 32.2 disposals. Not only is he finding plenty of the footy, but also using it extremely well at 72.5% efficiency. Treloar also leads the league for total disposals and average disposals at this point of the season.Top five: Adam Treloar (451), Marcus Bontempelli (365), Bailey Dale (351), Bailey Williams (287), Lachy Bramble (260)
Marks
Defender Bailey Dale (96) leads the way for marking after 14 games, highlighting his aerial ability in the back-half. Averaging a career-high 6.9 marks per match, Dale’s best outing to date came against St Kilda in Round 6 – clunking 15 marks at Marvel.Top five: Bailey Dale (96), Liam Jones (88), Bailey Williams (85), Tim English (84), Lachy Bramble (78)
Tackles
Skipper Marcus Bontempelli (78) leads by example on the tackling front, averaging 5.6 per game this season. Ranking above average, the 28-year-old is on track to registering career-best numbers if he can keep up this kind of pressure around the ball.Top five: Marcus Bontempelli (78), Adam Treloar (67), Tim English (53), Ryley Sanders (50), Tom Liberatore (44)
Clearances
The skipper Marcus Bontempelli is also the current clubhouse clearance king, with 89 total clearances. His average 6.4 is a little under Tom Liberatore’s 9.5, but with 43 of those 89 being centre clearances, is helping his teammates get out of the middle quickly and effectively.Top five: Marcus Bontempelli (89), Adam Treloar (87), Tom Liberatore (76), Tim English (42), Jack Macrae (35)
Goals
Young gun Jamarra Ugle-Hagan (23) is quickly establishing himself as one of the league’s emerging key forwards, booting 23 goals to date from 12 games. With 19 behinds, that output could be even greater if he straightens up a bit in the back-half, but regardless is on track to topping his career-best 35.Top five: Jamarra Ugle-Hagan (23), Marcus Bontempelli, Sam Darcy, Aaron Naughton (22), Cody Weightman, Rhylee West (17)
Intercepts
Fellow young gun Sam Darcy (26) sits first in the club for intercepts this season, highlighting his growth to date in 2024. Having missed the past fortnight through suspension, the father-son Bulldog will be itching to get back to the action post-bye.Top five: Sam Darcy (26), Jamarra Ugle-Hagan (24), Tim English (16), Marcus Bontempelli (15), Liam Jones, Aaron Naughton (14)
Spoils
Veteran Liam Jones (92) leads the way from a defensive spoils perspective – well ahead of any of his teammates. The 33-year-old is a reliable and composed key back, and on numerous occasions has helped get his team out of trouble in the back-half.Top five: Liam Jones (92), Buku Khamis (35), James O’Donnell (32), Taylor Duryea (26), Tim English (25)

He's actually a legend. Who cares if he was a bit pissed and jumped the fence? He'll face the consequences, but calling someone a brain-dead nuffy and an embarrassment to his family without knowing them is just ignorant and presumptuous.
If anything it's just poor journalism by Tom Morris to even mention Charlie and Brayden's names in the post.

What’s the point of this post?
I wouldn’t call him a legend per se but a disgrace to the family bloodline is perhaps a reaching insult lol.
