Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Drive for show, putt for dough. For golf clearance outlet, we beat everyone's prices. This is Marcus Pontempelli. His three weeks have been heroic. Heroic. He will have polled votes in all three games.
Chapter 2: What recent performances highlight Marcus Bontempelli's impact on the game?
They certainly don't win on Friday night without him. And to me, it just emphasizes his status in the competition. He's the best player and everyone else can fight over second.
Yeah. A horse text me over the weekend. He's the most complete player he's seen. And no one knows him like Bevo. So we're thinking, why is he playing? They're not going to win. Just rest him, get him right for the next week. But if he can get through this heel issue that he seems to be getting over and his knee's not going to get any worse and you can see why they are playing him.
I hope he doesn't bite him back in three weeks' time and he actually does need a spell and it's more than one week. So nothing wrong with being managed, but if it's a two- or three-week management, then they've probably pulled the wrong rein. But at the moment, you think Bevo's made the right call because they don't win without him.
Chapter 3: Why is Marcus Bontempelli considered the best player in the competition?
Yeah.
The sheer bloody-mindedness of it is what I love. He did everything, including the key punch with... Which puts the ball back inside the Bulldogs attacking area to set up the winning score.
Every week though, he's got 30 this week, eight inside fifties, nine contested possessions, seven score involvements, 400 metres gain. It's just, you know how hard that is to do.
And he's just metronomically ticking it up.
And he's getting attention every week, no doubt. And you know, when you're scouting the Bulldogs, he's number one in terms of what are we going to do with him? Um, and yeah, he just doesn't let you down. That's probably his biggest strength. He will not let you down. He's the best player in the game.
He, you drive for show, you putt for dough and Marcus Bontempele does that every week.
