They are insane. Ranked 13 in the league by their OWN standards.
Then again.....as I understand it. Bonty was the HIGHEST ranking player this round. AND wasn't even in the team of the week????

Then there's the lunacy of him not winning the rising star award last year.

They're all just SEETHING with jealous rage and cant stand to acknowledge his greatness.

On the positive side, massive nod to Matty Boyd making the squad on the back of 18 games. Not many would've picked that pre-season.

Don't get me wrong, I love Matty Boyd as much as the next Woofer, but would any list manager in their right mind choose him over His Bontness?

Re: AA 40 man Squad - 2015

Every year there's a bloke who makes the squad who has been a very good player for a long time but has had a poor to average year (unless you ask anyone in the media)

This year it's Shaun Burgoyne. He's had the odd good game, but largely has been well down on previous years form and should be nowhere near this squad.

Boyd is in the squad as a backman, Bonti is a midfielder and has much more competition for a spot. Lock Bonti in for 2016 (and the next 10 years after that!).

Where is the Bont.

Is Bont is good.

Re: AA 40 man Squad - 2015

Bont is stiff to miss out.
But on the bright side we have 5 in the squad. That is equal 2nd most and only one less than the Hawks, yes the Hawks. #godogs

Having only watched Bulldogs games for the last three months, I am surprised to see Ibbottson, Jack Riewoldt and Cyril in the squad. Unless Cyril has transformed himself, I imagine he is still just averaging 10-12 touches and a few score assists a game? Similar to Burgoyne, if he wasn't Cyril he'd be nowhere near it.

Okay, so AFL hate has officially been handed from Chris Grant to Marcus Bontempelli. Two years in a row...

Who has had a better season - Bont or Picken? (forget their respective experience levels)
