Re: Marcus Bontempelli
The AFL have the player ratings on their website. It's usually in the bottom left hand corner of their homepage at www.afl.com.au.Comment

Re: Marcus Bontempelli
Here it is. I've clicked on the bulldogs team. It's quite interesting. If you click on a players name. A graph comes up of their entire career rankings. Like a worm. Bonty's just goes straight up!!!! So does Stringers. It's interesting to look at the troughs and peaks over a long career. But Both Bob and Easton, for example, despite some troughs are both having solid improvement and both are in best career form.........pretty sure it's a fairly common theme across our group this year.

Re: Marcus Bontempelli
Yep. I find it interesting that Bont is such a phenomenal scorer given a lot of his best qualities are hard to measure statistically. He doesn't wrack up outrageous numbers, yet their models have him the best young player in the game by miles. It's apparently a fairly complicated scoring system they have.Comment

Re: Marcus Bontempelli
From the link aboveWhich on-field acts contribute to a player's score?
Every time a player is involved in a passage of play he has the chance to accrue points. But rather than his score being a simple tally of his possessions, marks, tackles, hit-outs, free-kicks and scores, his performance is measured using a system called Equity Ratings. The system determines where and how a player influences a contest and whether the player's effort then results in a positive result for his team. Equity Ratings includes what coaches love to describe as "pressure acts". As a result, players are rewarded for interrupting opposition passages of play as well as setting up scores for their own team.
Players who consistently produce positive contributions are rewarded more highly than players with a high volume of stats. As an example, a 20-disposal game by Cyril Rioli, where 17 disposals are positive and only one is negative, can have the same impact as a 40-disposal game by Dane Swan, where 25 are positive and nine are negative.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]Comment

Re: Marcus Bontempelli
Imagine if he gets the rising star on top of AFLPA. Then imagine he get All Australian or the squad at 19. That's the stuff a even bigger legend could be built on. By every objective measure he should turn 20 with more accolades than any other recent player. We know he's a superstar and AFL legend, but he deserves better treatment by the AFL and right to smash all records. There's a tinge of disappointment for me that he's not been elevated by the governing body for an outstanding first two years. But I've got another 13 or more years to get over it and see all records tumble by then.Rocket Science: the epitaph for the Beveridge era - whenever it ends - reading 'Here lies a team that could beat anyone on its day, but seldom did when it mattered most'. 15/7/2023Comment

Re: Marcus Bontempelli
This early in his career it will be interesting to see if he gets many brownlow votes, did he get any last year ?Bring back the biffComment

Re: Marcus Bontempelli
Bont got 4 votes last year. You'd reckon he'll top that this year as he has been the standout on a few occasions.
The AFL have done a phantom brownlow this year, predicting the 3-2-1 of every match. They have Fyfe winning by a mile on 30.
They have top Dogs as Stringer 10, Wallis 9, Hunter 8, Bont 8.Comment

Re: Marcus Bontempelli
I would have said Bonti has potentially 4 best on grounds.
v WCE round 1
v Richmond
v Gold Coast
v North Melbourne
Apart from that you'd think he polls v Sydney (23 poss & 2 goals), against Collingwood (28 poss and a goal), and maybe against Port Adelaide where he was prominent along with a host of others.
He's very noticeable. Wins contested ball. Kicks goals. I'd be surprised if he didn't poll well throughout his career.Comment
