    That goal against Melbourne in his first game. My son was OS at the time but we'd been watching Bont for a while because we had heard how infatuated Dalrymple was with him so I sent him the footage with a comment about finally landing a decent player with a first round pick.
    They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

      I think you mean first season.

        Don’t know if that was his first game. Reckon his first was a loss to Carlton when Judd came back into their side to huge applause, then snapped his hamstring almost immediately. Remember it well.

        Take your point, though. How that goal against Melbourne wasn’t goal of the year is still beyond me!

          Not his first game, but early enough that my prediction that he would captain the club, win a Norm Smith and a Brownlow COULD have been viewed as premature.

          Time is on his side though.

          A champion person as well as an enormous talent. You sense that this year has been tough, everything before then had seemed easy. I would be heartbroken if Bont does not play all his footy career with us, he is a rare talent.

            My brain is farting a lot lately. I knew it wasn't it first game but his first act where you thought "this kid is good" I don't know why I wrote that,

              Congratulations Marcus. Since arriving at our club he has had such a great impact. It has been a tough 2018 for for him but hopefully next year again he gets his form back.

                What a great goal it was. Was out of my seat at Etihad that day celebrating it. It got us the win in the end.

                    You are the real deal Marcus. Great ambassador for our Club. Looking forward to seeing you build on a stellar first 100.

                      We will have to wait a few more weeks for his 100th

                          IIRC the last time this happened it was Chris Grant who went down.

                            Probably a blessing in disguise. Hopefully this break gives Marcus some recovery time as he hasn't been moving freely for some time.
