Dwayne Russell - Bontempelli

[Lunchtime]

Interesting call by Dwayne. Has he forgotton about Ablett Jnr? If we are talking about midfielders of the past 20 odd years.

Ablett was so 5 years ago. Hell Dusty is almost so 5 years ago too.

I think we all agree Gaz Junior is up there as a top 5-10 Greatest of all time. I rank his Dad Garry as the best I’ve ever seen. I think Bontempelli still has many years left in him to enhance his status as a top 10-20 player of all time and the greatest Bulldog of all time once his career is over. Still has a lot to do to be up there but I’m confident he has another 3 more All Australians in him which would equal the record of 8?

Time will tell

Clearly, he's referring to post GAJ and Franklin's peaks.

First one wonders why OP started this thread, then reads quote, sees Dusty's name and has an ahha moment.

I think I see what has happened here and where this thread will end up going.

You used to be a Carlton supporter didn’t you?
Now you’re a Richmond fan?

What happened?

Bont is an unbelievable footballer - so good.

Bont has to be right up there as Doggies best ever. I think he is absolutely in top 5 mids since 2000. Really just has no weaknesses at all and that is pretty rare.

I hope he caps his career with a Brownlow. Can see him going on to be a very good coach.

Set shot kicking is his weakness. Don't think there are any others.

His career goal kicking accuracy is 46.1%

"Best mid since Leigh Matthews to not win a Brownlow" sounds alright too, though.

Pendlebury, Selwood, Craig Bradley, Peter Matera, Tim Watson would be the others up there. Wonder who I'm forgetting.

Dusty is the GOAT

The Bont needs a brownlow, a season of sweeping EVERY major award in a single season AND to win 3 Norm Smith medals throughout his career to be anywhere near Dusty's shadow.

1 premiership for Footscray is the equivalent of winning 5 at Richmond

Yes, I could see him coaching/mentoring. I can't see him in the media afterwards.

Fadge is FUMING that this thread is a thread.

D Russell yet another football expert to announce Dustin Martin is the GOAT.
