Bont's work-rate is outrageously good for a player of his size, but you can see he's labouring a bit... His shoulder has been tapped every week after the ''stinger'' late in the piece against WC and he's not moving quite as well as he once was, but still has the want to do so.
Having Ladhams jump into his hip a few times late in the piece on Friday didn't help him either, especially when he tried to run & chase from that contest and couldn't get his legs going.

Re: Western Bulldogs V Essendon - 1st Elimination Final 2021
Looks like we might play a semi in Tas so might be good to get used to it.
Could actually work out well.
AFL GM of broadcasting and clubs Travis Auld also indicated the four teams bound for Launceston – Sydney, GWS, Western Bulldogs and Essendon – could be based in Tasmania beyond their matches with a semi-final next weekend on the Apple Isle a possibility.
I assume that's only if it's Melbourne.
Lions we'd play at the Gabba I'd guess?
Let's beat the Dons first

Much prefer to play Brisbane in Tassie than anywhere else.

Well done DG. God I hope it’s all worthwhile for you.
Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

Last week the boys were forced to lockdown for the week, otherwise SA Gov wouldn't allow Port to play us. Port only had to lockdown for 3 days.
Pretty sure the Tassie Gov is being more lenient, so makes sense.

Tom Morris now claiming Dogs and Dons fly to tassie on Thursday.
So much for the fly in fly out advantage.
More of an In Bruges guy?

Re: Western Bulldogs V Essendon - 1st Elimination Final 2021
The Dogs/Ess game sold out in 90 mins…a lot of disgruntled fans missing out, but with Essendons huge tassie followers, it was never going to General Public sales.
I will never see #16 the same!!

Go Bulldogs!

All of this seems set for a month long hub that allows teams to fly to WA for prelims/grand final without having to spend time in quarantine when they get there. Need to spend at least 14 days outside Vic to be allowed to enter WA without going through quarantine, so by heading to Tassie on Thursday, it means they can fly to WA on the Thursday of Week 3 of the finals if needed.
