Re: Marcus Bontempelli

How good was it when he gathered and hand balled in mid air that lead to Stringer's fifth. Got slammed into the ground but got straight back up.

Tough as nails.

Re: Marcus Bontempelli

I thought Bonti was one of the prime offenders with the over finessing, particularly with the handballing. He is probably the longest kick at the club, he should be keeping it simpler and using his super boot to hoof it to position more.

Re: Marcus Bontempelli

I thought in the 2nd half we saw a return to form, he has battled through tags and a niggle in recent weeks which saw some uncharacteristic changers and lack of composure, even in the first half. But we started to see the signs of the star we know he'll be for a long time again after half time.

Re: Marcus Bontempelli

Was disappointed in him early last night. Needs to get the basics right before trying the fancy stuff.

Re: Marcus Bontempelli

I think he and Stringer should be encouraged to do the flashy stuff. It breaks up play and makes us unpredictable.

I also want him to be unpredictable but there are times when the easier option is actually much better than the flashy option. Early last night he had the opportunity to hit targets with a conventional approach but simply tried to do too much. There are plenty of times to do the flashy stuff.

Geez, if we are worried about Bont we must be going OK.

Yep agree, he was starting to bust through tackles again and create loose numbers for us in congestion simply by attracting opposition tacklers. Looking forward to see if he can hit that kind of form from the first quarter next week.

Re: Marcus Bontempelli

Wonder if he's carrying an injury?
Bit of second year blues ( even though he's been reasonably good)
I think he'll be okay

Re: Marcus Bontempelli

More focus on him because of how damaging he can be. The Bont will be a guy who is kept on a leash for 3 quarters and then wins a game off his own boot in a quarter. Even well held he manages to do amazing things for a second year player.

Re: Marcus Bontempelli

As much as he had a bit of a down first half, Bonti was certainly the catalyst in the 9 goal last quarter as he found some form.

Tipping a big few weeks for him.

Re: Marcus Bontempelli

So, The Bont has a reasonably quiet game and we win by 12 goals. I can live with that.

Re: Marcus Bontempelli

Really picked up his game after we were challenged in the 3rd qtr and was one of the driving forces for our dominance thru this time.

Having not played for 3 weeks I think we can forgive him for being a bit off the pace early on.

He has been the number 1 loser from the loss of Griffen & Libba this year. Tagged most weeks
