Player Watch Marcus Bontempelli is overrated

[00Stinger]

This is a terrible thread

May not have been super damaging today from what I saw but is definitely in the top handful.of players in the league

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.

You’re clearly a dull fool so I’ll hesitate pushing too far! There is a world of statistics and a universe of common sense which will show your comments as a combination of idiocy, foolishness or simply troll BS.

Bontempelli is the damaging player he is, not only because of his top end talent and skill, but because of his vision and willingness to take the low percentage option.

While plenty of so-so players will play a good game but ultimately make little impact, Bontempelli consistently seizes the moment and makes the difference. Does it work every time… nup, but his impact wins the Bulldogs more games than any other player in the AFL

Name a single player who has more impact.

 

[Some Idiot]

He kicked like garbage tonight, 15 clangers, easily a career high/low, and he's been in a bit of a slump for a couple of weeks. I wouldn't say a couple of poor weeks detracts a huge amount from his overall season and career performance.

The fact that he was still one of the best players despite turning it over that much says volumes about the performance of both teams.

 

[conrad_437]

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.

Are you stupid, biased or jealous? I genuinely cannot tell. Do you want to apply these metrics to Dusty as well? Or Petracca, Oliver, Fyfe, Cripps etc. Each of whom averages more clangers than Bont. Dusty averaged the most Clangers in the league in 2017, yknow, the year he won practically every award there is to win.

Touk Miller averages 0.31 clangers less than Bont this year, a player who doesn't take the game on as much as Bont does. What a silly argument.

How does it feel venting your sheer stupidity in full public view? [emoji23]

 

[theyellowsash]

up to this year id agree.

this year he is absolutely fulfilling the hype of the last 4 years.

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

If Bontompelli is overrated, then every Port Adelaide player is hot garbage.

The year when he was best and fairest in a premiership team didn't deliver?

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

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

They are crap and tedious. The guy is a gun.

 

[theyellowsash]

The year when he was best and fairest in a premiership team didn't deliver?

he was very good, but not what the media hyped him up to be. and that was probably his best year before this year imho.

 

[conrad_437]

You'd be right for 2017 and 18 where he had hip issues and was probably dining out on 2016 to an extent. But 2019 he won AFLCA MVP and was AA, as well as capturing another AA this year.

It's true that this year is his first true "fulfillment year".

 

[freddy mercury]

Delist him, what good is he?

 

[Jezzaubeautym8]

Fyfe & Cripps are too. Danger, Selwood & Martin much better

 

[Upgrayedd]

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

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

ok

Round 3 against the eagles in 2017
Also had 14 against brisbane same year, essendon the year before., both less disposals then Marcus did today so his disposal Efficiency was worse in both of those games. well all 3

Also has had a lot more 10+ clanger games then Marcus has in his career, with Marcus having 5 and Martin having 4 alone in 2018

[Dancing Dougy]

So Bontempelli has been earmarked for yet another 3 Brownlow votes tonight vs the Suns. Pretty bloody exciting to see the player he could become once he rids himself of his terribly wasteful disposal.

Uh....

 

[adamgreen]

Oh Dear...Put Charlie around his neck now...Gun!

 

[HahnPremium]

 

[Romeoh1]

Nope, he isn’t.

 

[Jezzaubeautym8]

He was always compared to top 5 players when he was more the 7th-12th best player.

 

[RUNVS]

OP is brave. He just basically kicked Bambi in the face.

 

[Dancing Dougy]

Who are people honestly coming to watch if the Bontempelli’s of the AFL world are overrated?? Really who? In the Dogs line up, only Naughton excites me more. Footy is a lost cause if Bont isn’t consider to be at the top end.

 

[Ricky Vaughn]

It’s like I’ve always said; sure, you can do it in a Grand Final, but can you do it in July against the Gold Coast during an unprecedented 5th lockdown?

Haha, I think I’d like to have a beer with you.
