      I need a moment.
      Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

        Wowee. How many games has he played? I love the "here's the ball, I've still got the ball" move where he lets the hound see just enough of the rabbit to make it go for it but by the time he gets there it's gone.
        They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

            Ducking, weaving, the impossible handball, the booming kick the awareness of the opposition and where his own team mates are, his agility, size and a match winner- wow.

            He is a Star.

              A star? He's a Hypergiant.

                I don't think there's been a mid that has had tricks on display that have separated him from the pack as early as Judd's pace, evasiveness and scoring ability did. The Bont's ability to find a handball out, use deceptive pace and hurt by foot is nothing I've seen before.

                And thanks for your contributions Mozc! Much appreciated.

                    That was four and a half minutes of pure pleasure to start a Friday morning.

                    But Bonti, darling, please get a haircut! Do you really want to get up and accept the Brownlow with that ridiculous hair?

                            He will go down as one of if not the greatest ever, how could he not he has absolutely everything. Elite at ground level, elite kick, elite set shot, elite awareness, elite mark, elite handball, elite contested player, elite bloke.

                            We must do everything to keep him a one club player, pay him whatever he wants, give him the captaincy and watch the Brownlows, MVPs and All Australians flow.
                            But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

                              I wept from seeing greatness. Bontempelli was Royce Hart at his best, full of grace, intertwining his ballet seamlessly into a game of football.
