Treloar having some year.

[EasternWest]

Treloar having some year.

Just disappointing he still sees himself as a Collingwood player.

Just disappointing he still sees himself as a Collingwood player.

Is that tongue in cheek or serious?

I don't think that is the case at all. I listen to him a bit.

Listen to his interview on Saturday morning on Crunch Time https://open.spotify.com/episode/1lC...9dcf7da2cb4e1b

He is great for our club on and off the field. Love his passion, authenticity and you can only admire his overall preparation and professionalism.

I'm declaring myself Adam's number one defender and supporter. If you want to have a go at him, you have to through me first. Ha.

It's extremely tongue in cheek because it seemed to be a recurrent theme among some here and in the footballing public at large that that was how he saw himself.

To me he's been bought in from the get go and is a Bulldogs man through and through. I'm sure he still loves the pies, and that's fine. But he's ours and plays his heart out for us.

He has never been AA or won a B and F. I would LOVE him to tick both of those off this year.

He's a Bulldog. Think the bromance ending is the making of his bulldogness.

Edit : 79 games for GWS, 94 for Pies, 70 for us.

He will end up with over a 100 for dogs fingers crossed and father / child rule applies.

Round 12 - Western Bulldogs overcome a poor start to prevail against Collingwood

Marmo

4 – Marcus Bontempelli
3 – Adam Treloar
2 – Sam Darcy
1 – Bailey Dale

Comments

A brilliant finish after being shell shocked at the start. The team is starting to show some steel in their performance.
We had 29 WOOFers contribute votes, but this week was concentrated on 4 players.

Captain Magnificent, Marcus Bontempelli (114 of possible 116) led the way with a match winning performance. Midfield partner Adam Treloar (81) continued his brilliant form and is surely a serious contender for All Australian at this point in the season. Third position was Sam Darcy (40) making up for a difficult start with a superb effort. The minor prize went to Bailey Dale (37) also maintaining his brilliant run of form. The others were headed by Jack Macrae (6), Liam Jones (5), Lachie McNeill (4), Tim English (2) and Riley Garcia with a single vote.

Leaderboard

24 – Treloar, Bontempelli
11 – Jones, Dale
7 – Liberatore, Naughton
6 – Richards, Darcy

Bontempelli rejoins the lead as Dale moves to a share of 3rd and Sam Darcy moves up.

[Grantysghost]

Thanks Bulldog Joe you do a brilliant job with this!

Treloar wowee - I noticed he wasn't even mentioned in the AFL website AA half way side. Idiots!

Darcy on 6 is awesome. He's the best of the young brigade.

A very underpar performance against a refreshed opposition.

Round 14 - Western Bulldogs dismantle Fremantle

Marmo

4 – Marcus Bontempelli
3 – Bailey Dale
2 – Adam Treloar
1 – Lachie Bramble

Comments

What a performance. Really a statement of intent from the playing group with lots of on field contributors including several playing the best games of their season or career.

We had 30 WOOFers contribute votes with a big spread in the voting amongst the players. This was the tightest contest for the minor votes that I have ever seen.

Of course the top votes went to HIM. Bontempelli (118 of possible 120) almost universally considered BOG. The rest were led by Bailey Dale (38), Adam Treloar (36) and career best Lachie Bramble (33). Very close was Liberatore (31), career best Rhylee West (23) and certainly best of the season Rory Lobb (14). Others to score votes were Tim English (4) and Ed Richards (3).

Leaderboard
30 – Treloar, Bontempelli
14 – Dale

Round 16 - Western Bulldogs come off the bye to defeat North Melbourne

Marmo

4 – Marcus Bontempelli

2 – Rory Lobb
1 – Bailey Williams

Comments

Despite never being really threatened it was an uninspiring victory with plenty of missed opportunity.
We had 23 WOOFers contribute votes with 9 players featuring.

Top votes again to Bontempelli (91 of possible 92) almost universally considered BOG. The key defenders headed the others with Liam Jones (55) from Rory Lobb (38) in his own Liam Jones transformation. The minor vote went to Bailey Williams (24) maintaining consistent form. Ed Richards (7), Cody Weightman (6), Adam Treloar (4), Tom Liberatore (3) and Bailey Dale (2) were the other players recognised.

Leaderboard

34 - Bontempelli
30 – Treloar
14 – Dale, Jones

6 – Richards, Darcy

Bont has resumed his position at the head of the leaderboard.
