    Nobody's looking for a puppeteer in today's wintry economic climate.

    He was just an impressionable teenager back then.
    But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

    Solid bump. Had a bit of Byron Pickett about it. Left Jeemak in a hump.



    Actually, is 2016 Bont better than 2021 Bont?

    Nah, you could keep him to 20 touches with a good tag back then and he was an unreliable shot at goal
    If you kicked five goals and Tom Boyd kicked five goals, Tom Boyd kicked more goals than you.

    Agree with that.

    His goal kicking continues to get a bad wrap, but is much improved. I wonder how long until the narrative changes?

    I'm confused by this conversation. He was a better shot at goal in 2016 with 2017 and 2019 being when he went under 50% accuracy.

    He kicked 11.7 this year but the 15.27 from last year is going to leave an impression that will take more than a mediocre effort to remove.

    I'd have 2016 Bont to be honest.

    Felt like he impacted every big game/result that year. Who could forget his huge game v Hawks in the SF? His prelim was sublime and GF underrated.

    As much as I love him - and the man crush is real - I'm not convinced he's reached these heights in big games since. His last two finals haven't been amazing.

    To be fair Jake was borderline flying last preseason until they postponed the season. It probably isn't his fault that he spent the covid break panic eating all the pies he could find and came back looking like piglet had to push him through one of the windows at Tullamarine when the season restarted.

    I saw Jeemak put his head over the ball from 25 metres away and couldn't help myself.
