That’s all hearsay, I’ll agree that Yeo is very good defensively, applying a lot of pressure but the Bont is no slouch in that department putting up good defensive pressure numbers. Also Bont helps out across the ground far more then yeo. Bont has played 1 more game and has 90 more disposals at comfortably better effeciencies. Plus 14.7% of Bont’s possessions are in the defensive 50m and 13.7 in the offensive 50m compared to yeo’s 11.1% in defense and 6.4% in offense. Clearly Shows that Bont is a greater 2 way runner. Throw in the offensive ratings and Bont slaughters almost everyone. He is rated elite in 6 of 7 categories, Yeo is only rated elite in 1 of 7. Kinda shows that Bont applies heaps of scoreboard pressure and Yeo only standard for a good midfielder
So I take your premise that Yeo is more flexible and clearly show he isn’t
The AFL’s most modern player is ready for the big time
If you look at their heat maps Cripps spends by far the most % of time in the centre, that’s fine because he is a centre clearance beast but that limits him as a run with player, defensive player or target. He has had 40 possessions in his back 50m and 50 possessions in his front 50m. the Bont has had 75 and 70 showing he is impacting all over the ground more.
This becomes clearer when you look at the scoring stats. Bont rates as elite in 6 of 7 stats, accuracy being his deficiency this year, Cripps rates elite in 2 of 7 with assists being his deficiency. However although Cripps rates above average in score involvements there is a huge disparity between them with Bont involved in 143 and Cripps in 94.
All in all Cripps gets the points in contested possessions, clearances and tackles but once the ball clears the pack his influence drops significantly. Bontempelli takes the cake for score board pressure, clean disposals, gaining ground, pressure acts and he is still in the elite category for the things that Cripps wins.

No way. Bont is ahead of Cripps and Yoe, so much more well rounded then both of them and doesn’t get tagged into oblivion because of it. Also applies far more score board pressure than both of those.

What Rubbish, this sort of comment along with “He’s good because he surrounded by other good players” make no sense. He’s good because he adds so much to the team. He was incredible in 2016 when they won the premiership and he is even more incredible now.
I would put it down to consistency, you know that he will influence the game no matter what because he is so well rounded and that is also the reason he doesn’t get tagged into oblivion. It’s also why I rate him higher then Cripps because once you take Cripps out of the middle with a heavy tag he can’t just go and do something else and keep influencing the game.

I don’t think so, I don’t see essendon or adelaide winning another game and if that’s the case they both fall out. It also means the dogs win both of those games and then the 8 is down to the last game of the season between port and fremantle, if port win they finish 7th and dogs 8th if fremantle win the dogs finish 7th and fremantle 8th.
Three weeks until finals: Who makes the eight?
Loved watching him go about it, he was truly great…. and those 40m hand balls!!!!!!!!
Why Scott West is best
I meant left field in terms of what you normally see from the media, who just pick the same team over and over regardless of if they have been the best this year.
As for what I would do differently first you’re missing a power forward, I would slot Tom Hawkins in for that as he has been the most consistent and as much as Bontempelli should make the AA squad this year it shouldn’t be at FF seeing as he has kicked 11.22 .
I would find a spot for Tim Kelly, probably over Billings.
Move Bont to Boaks spot and drop hunter and move boak to interchange.
I haven’t seen enough games to comment on Witts.
I have no problem with Lycett in the team over Gawn and Grundy. He has certainly had a huge impact at Port and Gawn and Grundy not as much in their teams respectively.
My All Australian side after Round 17
Wow, I like your list, a lot of left field choices there and I can’t agree with all of them but makes for a much more interesting line up than when all the regular names get put up simply for their historical performances.
Of the dogs I don’t know if hunter deserves a spot, he is definitely consistently good but I don’t think he has dominated a game this season. And Daniels chances may suffer due to missing the last 4 rounds, although personally I think he was first choice for AA on the half back line before that but I’m biased.

I’ll call you out there, in the first 15 weeks the tigers had 6 games at the G and 4 more at marvel. Tigers travel was negligible in the first 15 weeks and is almost non-existent in the last 8. You could argue a training camp at Metricon doesn’t count.
The AFL stock market: Round 17
To put it another way Rampe did an action that shook the post he did not get forced to do an action that shook the post. The umpires literally only have that to go on, they’re not stopping play to figure out someones intentions and then passing judgement. Same with Ablett and whoever he hit this round. Ablett can say he didn’t intend to hit him in the head and he may honestly not have but in terms of his actions he did choose to do that action and it resulted in a head hit and so it was intentional.
LISTEN: Did the umpires get it right with Rampe?
The problem is Rampe’s action was deliberate. Every kid knows that if you take a running jump at something your momentum will be transferred into that object hence he intentionally moved the goal post.
If all it takes is to deny your intentions then I guess every player that punches another player can just deny he intended to hit him and was just trying to scare him and then they’re okay seeing as the word intentionally is in that rule as well.
The word intentionally is in that rule for the sole reason of someone falling against the post, that is unintentional.
LISTEN: Did the umpires get it right with Rampe?
I am stunned, the rule is you can not intentionally shake the post, if you do it is a free kick from the goal line. Rampe has no defense. Every kid could tell you that if you take a running jump at something your momentum will be transferred into that object hence he intentionally moved the goal post.
If all it takes is to deny your intentions then I guess every player that punches another player can just deny he intended to hit him and was just trying to scare him and then according to you guys they’re okay.

The AFL’s administration has failed and it must be changed
Just going to resort to lying now lordy. I just counted all the interstate travel games between top 8 last year and the results where 15 wins for the Home team and 11 wins for the away team 15 out of 27 is no where close to 80%. Get out of here
These Dogs are top-four bound: No Hawthorn haze for the reigning premiers
I agree that Boyd is still an unknown quantity especially in the Ruck, hopefully he cements himself a bit more. Roughead on the other hand is only out for 5 weeks plus conditioning time.On the third man up point you made I used be worried about it too but then I realised 2 things. First Bontempelli is pretty much the only dog to use the tactic and second why would you want your best mid flying through the air for a tap when he can do better work extracting it. The tactic is only for clearing a pack quickly and the dogs excelled in the pack so there is not much need to use it.

Hahahaha it’s a conspiracy.
Also the injury for Hannebry though regretable was not a free, the rule is you are not allowed to slide and make contact below the knees, Wood clearly makes contact above the knee.

Come on, 1 example does not a trend make, The Bont has won heaps of games over time for his team. He sparked the dogs in the third quarter to fight back, they were down by 7 goals at the time. Brisbane managed to up their intensity for the last quarter which then became even.
All those players you mentioned have also failed to win specific games for their teams even when putting in herculean efforts, especially against quality opposition
