Patrick Dangerfield vs Marcus Bontempelli

[Malte]

If you could have one of these two on your list right now, who would it be?

Bont. Can run at full pelt and find a target inside 50 or finish with long goals whereas danger seems to kick weird worm-burners or super long bombs to nobody when running full steam.

Bont is a more creative footballer whilst Dangerfield is harder and faster at the contest.

Both amazing players but completely different styles but considering bont is like 20 I'll go with him. Still tons of improvement left.

 

[Dogs till i die]

Gee.......a Brownlow medallist now in his prime, an absolute a-grader v a 20yo premiership player, already elite with plenty of improvement to come.

Right now think Dangerfield is in front but the Bont could surpass. I'd take the Bont who is 5 or 6 years younger. Both are awesome footballers.

 

[Gysberts2Bate]

Bont has GOAT potential, so Bont.

I'd take Bont

Bont. Easily

Very Interesting poll this one. On the fence. Possible to give a different opinion after 2017.

 

[Elite Master]

Dangerfield will be better for the next couple of years, but come 2019 Bont will take over and will be playing long after Dangerfield eventually retires in the early to mid 2020s.

 

[Sando22]

Bont for me.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Bontempelli quite comfortably.

That about sums it up really. Danger is ahead right now, but Bont is looking like he could be at least as good and is a few years younger. Would love either at my club

 

[Mofra]

Bont's age is a big factor here - won the B&F in a premiership year off no pre-season as a 20 year old.

Danger is clearly ahead right now, best player in the competition and we will wait to see if Fyfe gets back to his best to challenge for the title.

 

[Madman2Gresham]

Bont is younger and more upside imo

 

[Frank Gallagher]

Bont for me due to Danger being much older, not sure the Bont will ever reach Dangers best though, if he does he'll need to keep improving at his current rate for the next few years.

Interesting point of view. I am sure someone that is good at extracting stats from the internet will dig up Danger's stats from when he was 20 years old.

And that proves what exactly?, or is there some kind of formula we can use that lets us know exactly how each individual 20 year old will progress through the years.

Just because Dangers done it doesn't mean the Bont will, Cotchin was rated by many to be ahead of Danger 5 years ago, hows that working out now?

 

[windyhill]

No brainer, Bont, younger.

 

[Jade]

If you're effectively telling me I can have one as a FA tomorrow, the answer is Bont - and it isn't close.

 

[Flandersss]

Bont

 

[OnceKicked50]

Good poll. Dangerfield is the better individual player now but not by a huge margin. Bont is 5 to 6 years younger.

I still think the jury is out regarding Dangerfield being a team player. He tends to try and do too much at times. Bont seems to impact games with 20 touches. I can't see Danger doing that. He impacts games by just ridiculous stats. His kicking isn't elite. Bont is an elite kick.

Entering 2017 I think the pick has to be Bont. He is already a B&F winner, premiership player and AA at age 20! The kids not even in his prime yet!

Dogs will say bont cats will say danger

Surely not all cats fans will be wrong just to favour their guy.

 

[Foxx]

dumb poll.
One has 6 years development on the other.

By that nature does that make James Kelly better then them both?

That is not a relevant point because Kelly has never been as good as both, or in fact either.
