- History shows the AFL Rising Star voting panel erred in awarding Brisbane’s Lewis Taylor the title, even if Bontempelli lost by a single vote, despite playing eight fewer games.
- Bontempelli has demonstrated flexibility that might be unprecedented in the AFL – at least in the modern era.
- Around the ground, Bontempelli has the gait of a baby giraffe, but the momentum of an African elephant. He’s nearly untackleable when he breaks into a run, his powerful, long strides difficult for all but the best stoppers to contain.
- There’s a universe in which Bontempelli kicks 1.5 goals a game and averages close to 30 touches a game. There’s also a universe in which he kicks two a game with 20 touches. In either case, the Dogs attacking sets will flow through him.
- It could end with a finish near the pointy end in this year’s Brownlow medal count. If you ask me, regardless of his position in the Brownlow, 2017 will end with Marcus Bontempelli considered the best player in the game.
