Pick #13 - Marcus Bontempelli
Marcus Bontempelli
Club: Northern Knights
D.O.B.: 24.11.1995
Height: 191cm
Weight: 83kg
Position: Tall Midfielder/Utility
Plays Like: Scott Pendlebury
The cousin of Nick Dal Santo, Marcus Bontempelli – is famous for his 50-disposal effort at APS level, comprising of some ridiculous numbers, but nonetheless I’ve had the astute pleasure of seeing plenty of Knights games this year, and Bontempelli is somebody who has quietly gone about his business, yet now finds himself propelled into the spot light and a top 10 selection on November 21. Best described as an athletic and more versatile Jack Watts type, with an injection of Scott Pendlebury’s deft touch and lateral movement – Bontempelli is a rangy midfielder, capable of playing an array of positions, which not only gives him some serious versatility, but a good dose of x-factor, too. A brilliant decision maker and an impeccable footy brain, Bontempelli has mixed an elite endurance base, with speed and agility whilst stamping himself along with Northern Knights teammate, Ben Lennon as one of the best marks of this year’s draft intake. Bontempelli offers an deadly kick rating, operating at a high efficiency of 79% throughout the championships, albeit he had a quieter than usual showing at the National carnival. Bontempelli has outside speed and enough class to go inside 50 and find a target, or finish himself from close, or long range. At 191cms, Bontempelli has earned high praise for his class at the stoppages, excelling in his clearance work making him a tantalising prospect on draft night.
Other Prospects: The Blues loom likely to land a gift this draft, and it could come in the way of Marcus Bontempelli, despite arch rivals not only overlooking Bontempelli, but in doing so have favoured Cameron McCarthy ahead of him – a player strongly linked to Carlton with their first round selection. Blake Acres still looks good here, but it’s hard to see Carlton overlooking Bontempelli should he drop this far down the order.
