I'm more surprised he's in Perth for New Year's, if anything. I could imagine the frenzy if Harley did this at Ikon Park.

And I laugh at the article saying 'There were no Eagles players so to avoid clashing with them at the facilities' I'm sure both sets of players wouldn't give a shit and would probably give Bont and the other Bullies players hugs.

"So this is what it looks like at a club that doesn't survive off AFL handouts..."

Wonder if we will sign Coby Burgiel, Marcus Bontempelli or Sandy Brock as our SSP?

Also, as good as that vid is, I’m not sure you can make a post labeled “What belonging to this club feels like” and show a whole lot of victory celebrations when we’ve lost like 85 per cent of games over the past three years.

Way too much Tom Barrass for club belonging

The supertroll masquerading as a sports editor sucked me in again

Must say Bontempelli looks in ripping shape

Almost Ginbey-like

Bulldogs next injury report;

Bontempelli - Foot - Season

Lurkers: It's a joke about our shitty training surface, not a wish for Bontempelli to get injured.

Gets too much of the footy to be Ginbey like.

Gov a bit stiff.

Danger probably wrote the article.

Not as stiff as Cox

Recency bias is a thing. I would take any note of the article

In my younger days I used to get mad about those sorts of articles until I got older and realised it was just a persons opinion and isn't the be all end all for anything.

Danger ahead of Judd is having a laugh

The top five was shocking. I'd have Judd and Ablett 1 and 2, Buddy third. Probably Dusty next. They've over-valued longevity. Danger had a few great seasons but has been limping around for years now and really should have retired. Geelong's inability to draft midfielders has seen him hang around longer than he should.

Yep. Can see the arguments for the other three but Judd is still the first player I’d pick in a post 2000 best 22.

 

[WCErevival]

Surprised Gawn wasn't mentioned considering he has 7 AAs. Cox too.

Yeah Boomer Harvey prime example. No doubt he was a gun player, but the 22nd best player of the las 25 years, na.

Also, I'm thinking I would take peak Lloyd at FF over peak Franklin. But Franklin wins out on overall career.

 

[Cuzz09]

people forget how good guys were.

Lloyd was THE gun FF for a decade

Best pure FF I've ever seen.

 

[Cuzz09]

Think he kicked 10 on McIntosh one day and not many did that.

Was the Ken Judge days so he wasn't getting much help upfield

Lloyd was a ridiculously great lead/set shot FF. Became a massive diver towards the back end of his career though.

Judd's peak is the best I've seen but I have no issues with people putting Ablett or Buddy first. Martin and Dangerfield ahead of him is laughable. Reiwoldt and Hawkins being so far ahead of Kennedy when they are very comparable is also notable. But lack of Cox (or any other ruck) is probably the biggest omission.
