3 of the best 11 midfielders according to the AFEL coaches. Our 3 are also 3 of the 4 youngest on the list.
With Kelly playing only ok games, and Bonts last two games, he will add AFL Coaches Player of the Year to his resume. With the margin he could win by, maybe a Brownlow too.

Re: Marcus Bontempelli
He has been huge this year, All we need is for him to start kicking straight again for goals. He has blown a lot of shots this year that in his first two seasons he would have no problems slotting.
BB.
Looking forward - Naughton, Darcy and JUH. It will be the envy of everyone.

Re: Marcus Bontempelli
What a star the Bont is!! I still pinch myself that he actually plays for us.
I love how he blew the field away in the end. Cripps pfft.
They've done studies you know, 60% of the time, it works every time!

Great year he is just the cream with Macrae and Dunkley allowing home to be the polish on the end.

Re: Marcus Bontempelli
It has been an awesome season for Bont. I loved how he started the match on Sunday. All fierce intent and determined to make it happen.
(As an aside..during our late season resurgence we have started matches so well whereas early in the year sluggish starts were the norm and often very costly).

Re: Marcus Bontempelli
So pleased that our mid-field received the recognition that they deserved after a great year of home and away games.
Well earned and well deserved.

Re: Marcus Bontempelli
How about that. Who would have thought after the bye that our three musketers would be All Australian and all in coaches top ten, brilliant.
Highest regards for Bontempell. Once in a generation player who may yet have another level but the one he is on now is priceless. I have to ignore the poetry in my head when I write about him.
