Player Watch Marcus Bontempelli is overrated

[Stonegiant]

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 skirting backs, fumbling and just being completely ineffectual.

would be a far more deserving Brownlow winner than Bontempelli.

 

[Bulldog1954]

Agreed, he’s s**t. Good thread.

 

[Stonegiant]

Agreed, he’s sh*t. Good thread.

55.6% disposal efficiency. That is dead-set garbage

He is the definition of overrated.

 

[AstuteTiger]

This will go down well. So you started a whole new thread, you couldn't just post this in the game day thread Gold Coast V Bulldogs

 

[Bulldog1954]

I’ve already agreed that he’s terrible

 

[Chopperdave]

Slight overreaction but yes sometimes he is slightly overrated. I believe according to champion data "Kick rating" he is statistically the worst kick in the afl or bottom 5...

Still an absolute gun but he does burn a lot of it.

 

[Stonegiant]

Of course it merits a new thread. This guy is considered by many to be one of the best players in the competition, yet his efficiency by foot is actually terrible. His kicks have been marked by opposition players more than any other player in the competition.

 

[port_adelaide_1870]

15 clangers tonight

 

[The Nostradamus]

Fk me we need to stop with player x is overrated threads

 

[rhaz]

 

[Bulldog1954]

15 clangers tonight

The worst thing is he does that every week. Absolute spud.

Hopefully someone offers us a second rounder for him so we can get rid.

 

[Virgin Dog]

Dusty's disposal efficiency is pretty poor too and he's right near the top of the clangers leaderboard. Must be an overrated spud too based on this expert analysis

 

[conrad_437]

He actually has one of the best inside 50 kicks in the competition. What he does do sometimes is bite off more than he can choose, which happens occasionally and obviously tonight.

Still the best player in the competition

 

[Stonegiant]

Show me a single game where Dusty has had 15 clangers.

15 clangers is laughably bad, jesus christ. At least Dusty is explosive.

Oliver Wines would be a far more deserving Brownlow winner than Bontempelli.

If you were Port's list manager, Ollie Wines demands a trade to the Dogs and they offer Bont, are you saying no?

 

[HahnPremium]

Im not sure who to believe.
A stonegiant or 17 opposing afl coaches.
Must think about this.

 

[glenashley]

Agreed. Spud.

 

[Dazb86]

Yeah he's terrible

 

[Stonegiant]

Must think about this.

Is it really that tough for you to stomach? He had more than double the clangers of the next worse turnover merchant on his team:


New nickname: Clangers Bontempelli.

Cool story Bro
Bont is rightfully rated by most to be in the top 4 or 5 of players in the league
Get your hand off it

If he's such a top player, why does he keep turning it over?

New nickname: Clangers Bontempelli.

New nickname- woeful pre-school troll.

 

[conrad_437]

If he's such a top player, why does he keep turning it over?

Because he attempts to break the game open through difficult kicks that don't always come off?

 

[Stonegiant]

There's a difference between missing a target and kicking a clanger.

Bontempelli hands it over directly to the opposition far more than other players. Touk Miller was getting a lot of the ball today, he wasn't turning it over nearly as much and had significantly more of an impact.
