Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

He plays everywhere even when in the midfield, he has a free run and even gets close enough to marking his own 40 metre kicks , amazing how he was around the ball ready to scoop up his own kick when it was knocked to ground.

What I liked about the Bont was his follow ups after kicking the ball. In some instances he had three consecutive touches after the clearance from the centre.

Re: Marsh Cup 2020 - Bulldogs vs North
After years of Brent Harvey and Daniel Wells tearing us a new one every time we played Norf, it's nice to return the favour with Bont. He toys with the Shinboners for fun, even in practice matches.

I think it all comes from that time North legend Michael Firrito tried to rough him up and Bont rightly laughed his way to 3 Brownlow votes.

Just seen the bump, no need for it and deserves two or three weeks at least.

It was unnecessary and it will be a test for the adjudication process.

Re: Marsh Cup 2020 - Bulldogs vs North
Alex Keath very solid last night. Jordan Sweet showed some positive signs.
Bont fantastic but would love to see him get his goalkicking right.

I did notice only Roarke went in to bump Williams. I was a bit disappointed others didn’t join him. While we are on Roarke does anyone else think he could be A great BF in the mould of Wood.
