    Bulldogs and Simon dalrymple can't afford to take a risk with bontempelli. Pick the next best. Aish.

    I hate to take a pong at a bloke for expressing an opinion but thank Christ he wasn't our recruiter!

    "Bulldogs Premiership Captain, Marcus Bontempelli ..." I like the sound of that.

    There was once a time when I would have happily gone with "Marcus Bontempelli, premiership player" but now we have got one, I want more and "the Bont, Western Bulldogs premiership captain" does sound good.

    If the opinion was based in anything other than his belief that "the Bulldogs if given two possible options will always pick the worse one" then maybe you could forgive him somewhat.

    TBH Dan used to give me the shits with his constant criticism of the club on 774 ABC. I was glad to see the back of him.

    He was definitely a glass half empty cat on the radio and within his written articles.
