They took points off him

197. He scored 199 this time last season, obviously regressing as a player

 

[Ironhawk]

Sucked me in last year too

Bont was the sixth highest averaging mid last year, hardly sucked in if you pick him.

 

[Goodie's Guns]

Scott any chance of a game come round 1?!

Yeah, think we'll see him from round one. Was pretty good I thought, even with no impact in the second term.

Bont was the sixth highest averaging mid last year, hardly sucked in if you pick him.

If you had him in the second half of the year when he ave 135 first half he didn’t even ave 100. No what you expect when your paying 625k for a player

Who is the best floating donut player? Was thinking Fyfe but Suns play a surprising amount of early games.

There are too many cheap rookies to choose from at the moment. Even the ruck bench has 3 or 4 genuine playing options in Round 1.

 

[BIGB0Y]

Dunkley 20 contested possessions and 11 tackles. I’m going to make room for him now.

 

[Torress]

Sucked me in last year too

I started bont last year and I'm not sure how we got sucked in? Dogs players are great for fantasy and Bont is a superstar

I started Bont last season and then turned him into Neale after the shutdown, great decision
He's one of those players who will inevitably go on a scoring rampage at some point, but is unlikely to sustain it all season.

 

[BIGB0Y]

Bontempelli put up 195 in JLT week 1 last year but started the season at 99.1 in his first 9 with a 166 score in there. Went at 135.25 in the last 8 with a top score of 199.

That’s what I referred to. You pay premo price for a player and he tones up 3 times in the first 9 games. Low score of 55 started the season off with a 70 after posting 195 in the JLT. Stupid me traded him out before he ave 135 second half. So that’s what I’m saying when he sucked me in DÉJA VU

 

[Vicwood]

Oliver not playing is dress rehearsal when he's playing for Carlton next year. 😜

Nah......you mean Collingwood.

 

[Vicwood]

Just when I thought I was out, Dunkley pulls me back in.

 

[Connoisseur]

Majority of interest would likely be for draft formats but keep a close eye on D Rich tonight, as he should be another player to benefit from the new rules and has a chance to register a 97-100+ avg.

Also, I wish I was game to consider starting McCluggage over Cripps, as I expect him to finish with a greater average than Walsh and Rowell this season and potentially push a 108-110 avg.

 

[Professor]

Nah......you mean Collingwood.

Nah your getting Dunkley and paying another $300k of Treloar's wage

Daniel is gonna score 140 today and find his way into everyone's teams. New rules favour him more than anyone else in the league, I think. Will play on from every kickout due to the extra space, and will be the main distributor from the backline using the man on the mark rule.

Ummm..... any chance you got this week's lotto numbers???
