After a slow start with his preseason issues Bontempelli has had back to back 30+ disposal games and scored 147 & 112.
Is he worth a look as an alternative to Priddis (496k) Bont (510k) or are the Dogs like Hawthorn sharing the ball around too much?

FWD yes, but seeing as he is a mid only then no. Too much risk of sub 100 scores.

Yep, great pod. The concern I had at the start of the year was his preseason but word out if the club is he's past these issues. It's a great point you raise re possessions. Until the past two weeks he has never hit the +30. He has a range of ways to score points too.. Cont possies, big tackler, can kick goals.
Could average 110-115 from here on out.
Only concern is his bye and bring played forward and potentially going cold.

I have to disagree with the last comment. Would argue he has ore upside than Priddis.
I can see the bont and cripps coming home like steam trains this year

Bump!

Third straight game over 30 disposals and another 110+ score.

Get the feeling i may really regret taking Priddis instead if Pridda misses a few games here and there  :-\

Looks like Bont is hitting his stride.

I feel like I might need to bring up the 'I told you so' line here..
Remember until 3 weeks ago he had NEVER had more than 30 touches in a game.. Yet still averaging around 100
I didn't pick him up because of his bye but he'll be an awesome pod on the run home

It's a loooooong season mate. You can have your "I told you so" moment after round 23 ;)
