Western Bulldogs

Marcus Bontempelli

Marcus Bontempelli has consistently been in the top bracket of midfielders for the past five years.

Moreover, he has been the Bulldogs' most important player for that length of time too, winning three best-and-fairests and featuring in two All-Australian teams.

This year, he has once again stood up when needed, helping the Dogs to sneak into the eight after their final round win over the Dockers.

Bontempelli had 20 disposals, five tackles and a goal as Luke Beveridge's side ran out five-goal winners.

The 24-year-old's goal threat is something that opposition teams are ever-wary of, however, they can do little to stop it, with the imposing midfielder being able to pull off some spectacular feats of brilliance when required.

The Dogs will be hoping that they can replicate their 2016 finals campaign and win the flag from outside the top four, and 'The Bont' will no doubt be at the core of it.
