Re: Marcus Bontempelli

Like others I would have been super keen to get Scharenberg.... That make me a disappointed at using this pick on Bontempelli. For me it is almost like selection Tom Williams,

Seen as a risk with huge potential, Ah if we could just get him on the park.

Don't understand the comparison. Williams was an athlete who had played little football. Bonts looks like a natural footballer.

Williams correct me if Im wrong played quite a bit of Rugby League before he got into AFL.

Can't lose what he doesn't have.

Ha Ha.

He reminds me of a giraffe - long legs.

Rugby Union.

His father was one of the founders of Brisbane Broncos and played for Parramatta Eels in the 70's.

Re: Marcus Bontempelli

Bontempelli like Williams? Come on.

He's bolted up the board on the back of a very good TAC Cup year and was in EVERYONE'S top 5 - 15 rankings.

We may have reached a little, but not by much.

Unlike Tom, Marcus has played more than six games of football (and I mean before being drafted, not after).

Welcome Bonts

Re: Marcus Bontempelli

Well happy with this selection.
Glad we did not go with Aish as he would be another player that takes years to put on weight and looks like a player that is not overly quick and potentially does not get much better.
More than likely he will go home after a few years and is probably cut from the same tree as his father and uncle who never had the conviction to leave there state to see if they could make it in the big league.
Neither of them ever got very big physically.

Lets hope he is half as good as his cousin.

Re: Marcus Bontempelli

Bontemptelli certainly suits our game style of a side that has an ability to win the ball but also use it and spread. We won't be the quickest side nor the most skillful, but we'll be relentless for long periods of time.

His ability to handball offensively is a huge asset at his height. Always gets his hands free so he's rarely tackled/dispossessed.

I hope he doesn't read this thread.
Welcome aboard Bonts

Why?
I think supporters can voice an opinion on whom they like to draft.
