Cripps Bontempelli Merrett Kelly - the next big 4?

[The_Flying_Egg]

Looked injured to me. Saw him look like he was unable to run late in the fourth.

Clearly injured, was kicking with his right foot during the second half. His hip has been a problem for a long time now

Hopefully all 4 can return to their 100% health next year! Cripps and Bont both underdone this year at times.

 

[Juddernaut08]

It's nothing to do with his tank.

Ok, how do you explain his inability to find the ball as much as actual midfielders then?

 

[conrad_437]

Ok, how do you explain his inability to find the ball as much as actual midfielders then?

The fact that he plays more forward?

The fact that his team needs him to play forward?

It's pretty obvious. Why does Cripps handball much more than he kicks? Why doesn't he play outside more? Gee maybe because it's what his team needs? ******* hell get some intelligence

 

[Dons4days]

I'll lose all faith in the All Australian if Bont gets in at the expense of Kelly or Merrett.
And the sad thing is I can see it happening.

If he is to make it into the AA team, I reckon he'll be on the forward flank or on the bench, highly doubt he will be in at the expense of either of the two.

 

[Dons4days]

I've got no problems with him making the team, but like I said I just hope it's not at the expense of the others.
No issues whatsoever if he's on a flank or takes a bench spot.

Bont shouldn't even be in brownlow discussion. Will only get in because of his previous reputation.

Lol s**t you are dumb. Who was even talking Brownlow.


Are you the real trump?

Was Bontompelli one of the players that retired Friday night?

 

[Bulldog Joe]

Is there some magic formula that only rates disposals ?

Bont simply plays a different role to the high accumulators.

 

[Skipper_]

Merrett has been great so far.

 

[Dons4days]

Merrett has been great so far.

He's already taken the round 23 honours in the round by round debate for sure.

 

[Big Wilbur]

Why doesn't Merrett get tagged? Makes no sense.

 

[Skipper_]

He actually does get tagged a fair bit nowadays. Hasn't so far today though.

 

[Rack Watts]

Zach Merrett. 4 goals, 25 possessions with 10 to go in the 3rd qtr.

 

[Tasfut]

Merrett is dominating!!

 

[Happy Mastenator]

I'd rate the Bonts season as better than Merrets. Merret has more uncontested possessions per game, but in almost every other stat that matter the Bont has him covered.

 

[Jobe Watson]

I'd rate the Bonts season as better than Merrets.

lol no.

Despite all those uncontested touches, Merrett is actually ahead of Bont when it comes to clearances per game. So Merrett is as effective on the inside as well as being far better on the outside. Merrett will be on the wing in the AA team, Bont is no where near it.

Wow! An outside player gets less contested possessions than inside mid/forward? Bontempeilli plays more inside than Merrett, is 13cm taller, and 12kg heavier yet, he only averages 2 more contested possessions than Merrett a game. They also both average 4 clearances a game.

1. Kelly
2. Merrett
3. Bont
4. Cripps

 

[Milanista28]

Should've kicked his 5th in the last. Spud.
