Do we over rate the Bont effect?

Yeah nah.

Re: Bankers & Anchors: Rnd 17, 2023 vs Collingwood

Bont is held responsible every time we lose.

Look at his stats from Friday night and the focus is on his two missed goals. Its kinda crazy.

For mine its a case of we focus on what he can't do, rather than what he can do.

Surely you jest.

More love than Woodstock.

Doubt any one blamed him for the loss.

He did muff many disposals though.

If you're quoting me stats from a guy who was in the guts all night I start to nod off.

Yes Bont is the best ever he gets paid the most etc etc.

We can ask questions though.

We do rightly hold him at the elite level but I think most would agree that he does miss some clutch goals.
We shouldn't really complain though.

Yeah nah.

How dare thee!

No that's Libba! Bont gets more love than any player ever in the history of the Bulldogs.

If you said Macrae I'd be with you.

If anything Libba gets too much of a free pass in my view.

Yep... he's pretty much invisible in ''broken'' play and lots of his clearances are hack kicks/ handballs to anywhere/ anyone.

That's why the good teams tag him?

Wasn't just him with the hack handballs. Lots of stupid over the head handballs on Friday to no one or Pies player- trying to be too tricky eg Keath who promptly turned it over.

Libba is the most under rated player in the comp and it's seeped in to woof since the GF.

Not sure it's from people who go to the games though

Woodstock is the underrated piece in the Snoopy puzzle.

We can ask questions though.

True dat

We can ask questions, no problem and the biggest one should be on Bonts goal kicking.

But to infer he is overrated and Daniel is our best midfielder is a step too far.

Fair enough.

I don't think that btw.

Bont is the best.

Have you considered that tagging someone might be dependent on whether they are more susceptible to a tag versus others?

For sure good point.

Also because they are the most damaging.

#jesuislibba

Daicos had 11 clearances.
Libba had 11.

Bont was next best with 6.

I actually don't like Harmes. Like some kind of visceral thing with him.

However.

I'd consider recruiting him as a stopper.

He was awesome v Libba in 2020?
