    Re: Marcus Bontempelli

    Like others I would have been super keen to get Scharenberg.... That make me a disappointed at using this pick on Bontempelli. For me it is almost like selection Tom Williams,

    Seen as a risk with huge potential, Ah if we could just get him on the park.

    Looking forward - Naughton, Darcy and JUH. It will be the envy of everyone.

    Don't understand the comparison. Williams was an athlete who had played little football. Bonts looks like a natural footballer.
    I thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken.

    Bontempelli like Williams? Come on.

    He's bolted up the board on the back of a very good TAC Cup year and was in EVERYONE'S top 5 - 15 rankings.

    We may have reached a little, but not by much.
    Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

    Unlike Tom, Marcus has played more than six games of football (and I mean before being drafted, not after).

    Re: Marcus Bontempelli

    Well happy with this selection.
    Glad we did not go with Aish as he would be another player that takes years to put on weight and looks like a player that is not overly quick and potentially does not get much better.
    More than likely he will go home after a few years and is probably cut from the same tree as his father and uncle who never had the conviction to leave there state to see if they could make it in the big league.
    Neither of them ever got very big physically.

    Bontemptelli certainly suits our game style of a side that has an ability to win the ball but also use it and spread. We won't be the quickest side nor the most skillful, but we'll be relentless for long periods of time.

    His ability to handball offensively is a huge asset at his height. Always gets his hands free so he's rarely tackled/dispossessed.

    Why?
    I think supporters can voice an opinion on whom they like to draft.
