    What would it take for him to become the greatest ever?

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

    Scary thing is, he’s in his prime with the records, plaudits and highlight reel he has. And by say 250 and we are managing him, I’m going to love him 75% forward with Naughton, Jamarra & English in their prime!

    So level headed from a young age on and off the field. And to spend your first year as captain in the covid hell hole of 2020 was outstanding. What a pleasure it is to watch The Bont.

    Funny, because when we drafted him I remember saying to my cousin I wasn't sure about an in between sized mid who didn't seem to have much point of difference. Can remember who I said I would have preferred, but.......

    Congrats Marcus on 150 games. What a career so far! Lots of Sutton medals and the premiership the biggest one of all. Brownlow medal worthy that’s for sure.

    Re: Congratulations to Marcus Bontempelli - 150 Games

    Pretty fair ol' 150 games for the Bont.

    Western Bulldogs captain: 2020–
    AFL premiership player: 2016
    AFLCA Champion Player of the Year Award: 2019
    3× All-Australian team: 2016, 2019, 2020
    3× Charles Sutton Medal: 2016, 2017, 2019
    AFLPA best first year player: 2014
    AFLCA best young player of the year: 2015
    5× 22under22 team: 2014, 2015, 2016 (c), 2017 (c), 2018 (c)
    AFL Rising Star nominee: 2014

    Certainly has 100 brownlow votes if we assume he got 3 v WCE in round 2. 130 goals so far, and so many of these have been clutch moments.

    Thoroughly believe he will retire as the greatest bulldog ever....when he does in 2032!!!
