I saw the recent thread on players of the 00s where the names of Ablett, Buddy etc were mentioned and rightfully so. Where does the Bont sit in this? He is having the 2nd highest rated season of all time currently and should be a 2 x Brownlow winner (robbed). Is just about to notch up his 6th AA...
This week we have seen two of the comps best players and captains just say at 3/4 time…follow me boys, we are winning here.
2 incredible quarters and 2 incredible leaders and players. Hats off to them. This is what leadership and greatness is.
Two of my favourite opposition players. Neither seems to put a foot wrong, on or off the field.
Leaders of their respective football clubs, and great role models for young kids watching the game.
Bont is the Bulldogs' skipper and I'd say Trac will be Melbourne's next skipper when Gawn...
My dear friends, we are gathered here today to bear witness to a momentous occasion - the 200th AFL game of the great Marcus Bontempelli, the greatest Bulldog player of our time. It is a day that will be etched in the annals of history, a day that will be remembered by generations to come.
For...
Is he the greatest Bulldog ever? Does it matter? Personally, we've all been fortunate to watch this guy do his thing for 199 games so far. In the FB post from the club where a bunch of captains lauded and congratulated him (Johnson, Boyd, Murphy, Darcy, Wood, Hawkins), Dougie says he can't...
I have never seen a player get his possessions intercepted as much as Bontempelli does. For a guy who is meant to be an "elite" disposal, he sure kicks it to the opposition often.
In the 4th quarter, Touk Miller was busting his guts to try and get his team over the line, while Bontempelli was...
...Cripps.
Everyone is criticizing Collingwood now for a big salary dump this year... but what if it's all part of the master plan to lure Bontempelli in the following year with the power of a 105% salary cap? Bontempelli was who Collingwood originally wanted in the 2013 draft until the...
Come in and bow to your overlord, the 2019 AFLCA Award winning Marcus Bontempelli.
The outcome was pretty clear too:
(Saints fans don't worry, I'm sure Jack Billings will come good).
...Goalkicking has been off this year, but gone to the next level in every other category. Gun.
Final Leaderboard:
1. Marcus Bontempelli (107)
2. Patrick Dangerfield (90)
3. Nat Fyfe (88)
4. Tim Kelly (86)
5. Patrick Cripps (82)
5. Brodie Grundy (82)
5. Lachie Neale (82)
8. Luke Shuey (76)

...sure they will.
GWS Nick Haynes might have a fractured larynx as a result of a weekend clash that saw Bulldogs star Marcus Bontempelli handed with a $2000 fine.
If scans confirm a fracture, Haynes will likely miss between two and four weeks.
Low impact - tick.
Weather or not it could cause...
...and Martin make up the best trio of midfielders in the competition, but all three of them are now in their late 20s. Meanwhile Cripps, Bontempelli and Kelly all from the 2013 draft, all turn 24 this year, edging ever closer to their peak.
Are we nearing the point where these guys will be the...
I have only cried twice in my life.
The first being on the 10th of January 2016. I was having a bath on that sorrowful evening watching Matty Robbins replays on my IPad when I received a text from a mutual friend informing me that David Robert Jones, known professionally as David Bowie, passed...
In your opinion who so far is the best out of the class of 2013?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2013_AFL_draft
Pick 2 Kelly
Pick 4 Bontempelli
Pick 13 Cripps
Pick 23 Crouch
Pick 27 Merrett
Or your own pick? Who do you think is the best from the class of 2013?
Pick 47 Ben Brown?
...is ranked in the top 5 (Likely scenario).
He now sits ahead of a long list of A-grade players including his fellow 2013 draftee-star Marcus Bontempelli (who sits at 15th).
He will also sit amongst Fyfe, Dangerfield, Franklin and Dusty in the top 5 (Easy prediction, really).
Is his spot...
Huge late news coming out of trade central on the last day of trade period, saints have just produced a shock offer for Marcus bontempelli. Offering pick 8+Luke dunstan. Anyone else hearing this?
To absolute surprise of nobody, over hyped bathwater midfielder Bontempelli is shitter than the afl average for kicking inside 50.
Here are things that are definitely more accurate than Bontempelli.
I overheard this conversation the other day and have no way of verifying it but this is a rumour thread so I don't have to.
Apparently, Melbourne had committed to drafting the Bont with their first pick in the 2013 National Draft well before the Combine. Due to a massive bust up between the...
Hi all. Just heard through a mate who studied Sports at Vic Uni, and worked very closely with the Bulldogs that Marcus Bontempelli has in fact torn his achilles right off the bone very recently. The club is apparently trying to keep it on the down low. Terrible news if true.

...kids to follow the club. And also a great way to attract new sponsorship!
The last few years I've been so envious watching players like Judd, Ablett, Carey, Voss and Hird who win matches and deliver premierships. We need to thank the gods above for delivering us Bontempelli. We are very lucky.
