"Fyfe isn't dynamic", perhaps the most ridiculous statement ever made on BigFooty. How would you describe his ability to influence a match, ridiculous overhead marking and forward ability?

Dominant. Powerful. Strong. Influential.

You can hardly compare a 2nd year players achievements to a 6th year player.

That is why it is a ridiculous comparison.

And do those characteristics not form a dynamic player? Dynamic in football terms (or at least my definition) is someone who is able to start momentum for their team and thus change the result of the match. Fyfe is one of the most dynamic players in the competition AFAIC.

No, the ridiculous part was you using Fyfe's whole career as a comparison to Bontempelli. Fyfe's and Bont's first two years in the AFL are extremely comparable.

No, the ridiculous part is comparing a young kid to a champion. You can try spin anyway you want, but Bontempelli does not compare to Fyfe.

Fyfe isn't dynamic, he is rough as guts. The only similarity is that they are both tall mids. Fyfe is actually a very dominant midfielder though, whereas Bontempelli isn't - at least he isn't yet. Fyfe already has a brownlow, 2 Leigh Matthews throphies and 2 All Australians. In comparison Bontempelli hasn't achieved sh*t.

To say he isn't dominant is pretty funny though. Opened up the 2015 brownlow count with 9 votes in 3 games. That means he was best on ground in the first 3 games of the season. If that isn't dominant, then define what is.

No it wasn't. It was actually a comparison of playing type. I don't see it, that's just my opinion. Bontempelli is nothing like Fyfe.

Yo 'FARM BOY'
If you actually read what i wrote you would realise how much of a tool you are being on this thread. i said "in my opinion" i believe he will be a similar player to fyfe, end of story.

So seeing as though you cant read properly why don't you log out your account; deactivate it and go back to the farm where you belong 'farm boy' ;)

He isn't a similar player to Fyfe. That is my opinion, I am allowed to have one.

Fair enough, your opinion. You won't find any pair of players who are carbon copy, but IMO, these two are comparable enough. Tall, early impact inside mids. They build their game around being dominant CP players and in the air. They certainly aren't exactly the same, but I don't think you will find a better comparison for each player.

Fyfe is a crash and bash inside mid, he smashes anything in his road. I don't think Bontempelli is that type of player, and I don't think he will develop into that type of player either. That isn't to say he won't be a great player, he probably will be.
 
Best thing about Bont IMO is that I've never seen a kid more likely to remain a one club player.

Jake Lever said after he was drafted he wanted to be a ten year + player at Adelaide.

Yeah Lever's another one that's definitely not going anywhere save for something out of the ordinary happening. About the best type of character to be drafted interstate.

Agree that Bont and Fyfe aren't similar players. Fyfe is better in the air and is better at crashing his way through packs. Bont has a better and more penetrative kick on him.

Actually Bontempelli's kicking needs work - He too often kicks long without assessing better options.
