Will Marcus Bontempelli eclipse Scott West’s Record if 7 B&Fs?

[bulldogtragic]

He’s got 9-10 seasons to get five more to get to 8 B&Fs.

But if Bailey Smith & Naughton get going, plus Macrae & Dunkley polling well, it’s not guaranteed.

[Topdog]

I think he will get another 7 B&Fs. He is just loved by the coaches , well actually he is just loved by everyone that isnt GWS

Where was Bont in the count at the half-way mark? Surely Daniel was ahead before his second-half of the year was cruelled by injuries!

He doesn't just win the ball, he takes risky options and often pulls them off. He has to be a chance, surely.
According to AFL coaches he's the most impactful player in the game.

This will also be his biggest challenge.

Coaches of other teams are going to spend enormous amounts of time and resources on ways to negate him.

This is where he will need help from others to counter the physical challenges to come.

Maybe the only chink is his goal kicking beside that I can't see anyone getting close to him for next few years .

It's definitely an issue but most star players have a fault of two

[strebla]

That's true but it's the only real fault in his game except maybe dealing with a dirty tag .

[macca]

Our players need to block for him and be prepared to ahem.... legally hip and shoulder any physical types. A bit like daniel chick and brad Sewell types

[1eyedog]

Can't believe Crozier didn't make the top 6. Barring injury Bont could win them all. He's our best player since Templeton.

You didn't rate Chris Grant.?

You didn't rate Chris Grant.?

Not enough people did.

Most underrated player to ever play the game. While people were completely fixated on Carey, Hird and Buckley, Chris Grant was doing things nobody of his size and positions could both sides of the body at pace, influencing games like a midfielder would.

I can honestly (IMHO) say he is in the top three ever from the Dogs
