As you know, the AFEL coaches voting has us with the best rated midfield according to their voting. Being obviously Bontempelli, Dunkley & Macrae (BDM). It's not every game that the starting midfield team rack up 100 disposals or more. Or so incredibly consistently. But I'm/we're keeping tabs on it now and having this, our century honours board for every time they score another century.

BDM Combined Centuries So Far:

R.21 2018 - Vs North 101 disposals (won game)
R.22 2018 - Vs Carlton 106 disposals (won game)
R.23 2018 - Vs Richmond 100 disposals (very narrow loss)

R.13 2019 - Vs Carlton 107 disposals (won game)
R.14 2019 - Vs Collingwood 106 disposals (narrow loss)
R.20 2019 - Vs Brisbane 111 disposals (narrow loss)
R.21 2019 - Vs Essendon 103 disposals (won game)
R.23 2019 - Vs Adelaide 100 disposals (won game)

(Like Michael Slater, there were heaps of nineties too)


Our best run of form in 2018 & 2019 happens to be when BDM are the starting midfield and have licence to run riot. Scary thing is, all these players have even more development in them. If they're doing this now, imagine the next few years. Any wonder the AFEL coaches rate these three so highly.
