    Re: Bont appreciation thread

    Taking out Leon Cameron have we ever had a better kick on his opposite foot than my future husband?

    Also, that was a seriously good finish from Marra. Third game, top of the table clash, high pressure game on the line.

    No worries, goal.

    Look at our players get around Marra. They are a tight team.

      Isn’t that what I said. But with more words?

        Bont is the best kick in the league and it's not close. Miss me with Zac Merrett or whoever the media is deciding to suck off this week, no one can do the damage he can from congested situations.

        I always think of Matt Boyd now when thinking about ball use, who went from a full on horrible kick to an outstanding one with the benefit of those couple of extra seconds to make better decisions down back. That Bont has the ball use he does at the coal face is mind blowing.

          Long kick under no pressure - Zac Touhy might put his hand up.
          Short kick in congestion that no player should really get away - Caleb Daniel

          Bont is right up there and kicking from a centre clearance he'd be ahead of anyone else

              I'd take Daniel Rich over Touhy for that long kick out of defence.

              Agree that Daniel is the best short kick. He can really do some Neo in the Matrix type shit.

                I've got zero doubt that if Bont took kick ins then he could do what Tuohy and Rich do.

                      I’m happy that Billy appears to have achieved zen on the Gold Coast, and not just because the Gold Coast is far away from our forward line.

                          If you append an api call to the end of the youtube url it should work
                          Eg

                          ?t=1m53s

                          Just append, no spaces.

                              Anyone know the commentator for SEN in the background for his pass who just laughed at the skill of Bont? Was great to hear
                              I loved Sunny's work at that stoppage. He gets his hands on the ball loses it but then lays a huge tackle on the best contested player in the comp Oliver and probably should've got htb. Turns out that it drops to the feet of Macrae who threads the needle through the pack to Libba who dishes to The Bont! What a piece of play at a f50 stoppage with the game in the balance! Brilliant
                              They've done studies you know, 60% of the time, it works every time!
