    It does feel like we're building something special.

    Not to toot my own horn, but on Bontempelli, I am pretty sure I called this about a month ago when I asked how posters would feel if we took him at 4. Few weeks later, the media jumped on board, and now it's happened.

    I shall grant you all one wish...
    Toot away, son, toot away…

    I do have to say one slightly negative thing though: Am I alone in my annoyance that every single draftee who is over 190cm and can play midfield is being compared to Pendlebury? Try to find a draftee article without Pendles mentioned.
    Just looking through some posts when players were first drafted and how they were projected.

    Funny now how every draftee who is over 190 and can play midfield is now being compared to Bont!
