Where does Marcus Bontempelli sit in the players of this era

[Cleansweep17]

Needs more tricks like Shai Bolton I'm guessing?

Nah needs Watsons leprechaun ducking skills. Worst pick 5 ever?

Well Watson's highlights are better than Bont's, surely?

So does that mean he's a better player?

Yes 2.15 or whatever does stand out

 

[Iamspock]

I assume signature move he simply means something a player is elite at that makes him stand out. I simply answered that and gave a few things.

Your signature move is backpedalling.

 

[Bulldog Joe]

LOL. They changed the rule because of mark blicavs, not because of bontempelli.

You can believe anything you like, but they changed 3rd man up after the 2016 GF and Bont was superb at it.

 

[Cleansweep17]

I can’t remember who said it on here but they reckon Bont is the best ever contested mark they’ve seen for a mid besides maybe Fyfe.

Well maybe you need to take another look because since the stat was recorded Dusty has the BEST EVER OFFENSIVE 1v1 win rate @ 49%. Head and shoulders above the rest of the whole comp, not just the midfielders.

Bont is @ 39% which is still very strong.

Show us the raw numbers.

And 'offensive win rate' - does that mean marking or winning a contest?

Bro that’s awesome.

Now show us Dusty’s defensive efforts.

Not talking about 1v1 , talking about contested marking. Dusty isn’t great in the air at all in a pack. He would rove a pack marking contest.

Name any mids that are better than Bont in a pack for contested marking. Fyfe could be one, Koutafides. Dusty isn’t one.

Your best players shouldn’t be wasting their skills in defence.

Buddy didn’t seem to get your memo.

1v1 is contested marking lol

And why does it matter how he wins it? I’m surprised flashiness is important to a Mr Vanilla fan.

I also don’t see Bont crashing packs all day either, I’m mean he’s mostly in the midfield.

Jimmy bartel would be as good as bont.

Watson is a stinker of a pick 5. Very limited cieling.

 

[geelong_crazy26]

I didn’t realise Bont fans were this passionate lol

His mr mayor of vanilla town with a boring personality with no standout traits and plays for a welfare club.

It ticks all the boxes for universal AFL love.

 

[conrad_437]

This guy is pretty good I reckon.

 

[The_Eagles]

I would say he’s crystal clear ahead of Fyfe and Dangerfield now in a champions draft
Closing in on Martin, Judd

Ablett, Franklin are unassailable for the foreseeable future for mine (Harley Reid triple Brownlow)

 

[Snarls Barkley]

3x AFLPA Best captain only behind Voss with 4, tied with Carey

The players love the Bont

 

[Fadge]

1. GAJ
2. Buddy
3. Judd
4. Bont
5. Pendles

Blanket over the next 10.

Bont over Judd for me every day of the week.

Bont far better with his disposals than Judd ever was and a better mark as well.

 

[Aristotle Pickett]

Up there with Franklin, Martin and Ablett jnr.

 

[Cleansweep17]

I’m starting to think the MVP is worse than the Brownlow and AAs. He’s getting these based on rep from previous years.

Daicos, Heeney, Cripps have been better and more influential this year.

I don’t think anybody on BF would take Bont over these 3 apart from Dogs supporters.

I mean what would all the players know?

You're genuinely getting annoyed that the players who actually play the game think someone had a more valuable year than you do. Just think about that for a moment.

 

[voorhees]

Bont's definitely earned a spot in the top 10..were that number lands is up to each individual reviewer.
Love watching him play and the way he conducts himself off field.
Would love to see him take out a brownlow

 

[Osho]

As a tough match up, he's with Jezza. Imagine playing on either of those 2 blokes? They'd run you into the ground, then jump on top of you in the marking contest, and take you deep into alien territory where you'll feel unwelcome.

And then they'd do all again. And again.
