Bontempelli eyes a leadership role

[Ghost Dog]

GD, I don't know how many posts I read from you wanting to switch players around. Roberts to forward line, Jong to forward line and maybe even backline, now The Bont out of the midfield? Sorry, it ain't going to happen, The Bont is currently ranked as one of the top 4 in the AFL coaches award for being an elite midfielder. As Mantis says, the guys that need to step up are Stevens, Jong, Smith.

How about Hamling to the forward line. Maybe Jong to the ruck!

If I had posted Hamling to the forward line, or Jong into the ruck, would you have questioned it?

Hamling has been playing in the forward line at VFL on and off, so no problems there. Jong to ruck is a joke of course as is The Bont as a permanent forward. To help rotations The Bont, as with other mids have rested in the forward line.

Jong has rucked for us on one occasion IIRC. I think it was against Sandilands.
The coach does more interesting things than I would ever think up.

It's not like the forward line is a safe place. The only differences are your opponent is bigger and he can take a longer run up before knocking you over.

Putting him in the forward line will only expose him to that pissant little sniper named Firrito.

Firrito is 189cm, Bont is 192cm... He's safe.

Caleb Daniel will be Spud's target this week.

I never said Bont would lose the fight😆.
