September 26, 2021
Bontempelli scored three goals and made 25 disposals (13 kicks, 12 handballs) during Saturday's 140-66 loss to Melbourne in the Grand Final.
ANALYSIS
A Brownlow contender for much of the year, Bontempelli struggled for consistency in possession over the final weeks of the season but still attempted to make up for it with three majors in the final game. He should still be proud of his efforts in 2021 with 26.8 disposals per game as captain and take more momentum into next season.

Bontempelli (knee) made the initial team sheet for Saturday's Preliminary Final against Port Adelaide.
ANALYSIS
Bontempelli had hurt his knee late into the last round against Brisbane but he's already in the next lineup as a rover for another prime-time matchup with the Power. He's failed to log over 30 disposals in three straight games, so keep this in mind when assessing fantasy value.

Knee
September 4, 2021
Bontempelli suffered a knee injury and logged 29 disposals (16 kicks, 13 handballs) to go with seven marks made during Saturday's 79-78 win over Brisbane.
ANALYSIS
Bontempelli is usually one of the top disposal-getters for his club and that usually doesn't change even with an injury. His all-around performances haven't been as stellar as they were earlier in the season, and an injury won't help things out over the rest of the finals.

August 8, 2021
Bontempelli scored one goal and one behind to go with 34 disposals (17 kicks, 17 handballs) during Sunday's 97-84 loss to Essendon in Round 21.
ANALYSIS
Bontempelli improved after a poor performance in the previous week against Adelaide to rank second behind Jack Macrae in fantasy points and total touches. He'll need to get back on track as the season winds down and the finals pick up, as his season has been exceptionally consistent until recently.

MWestern Bulldogs
July 17, 2021
Bontempelli acquired 36 disposals, nine clearances, five tackles and a pair of marks Saturday as Western edged out Gold Coast 90-79 at Metricon Stadium.
ANALYSIS
Bomtempelli played a key role for Western in Saturday's victory, pairing 17 kicks with 19 handballs as the Bulldogs' leader in disposals, matching teammate Bailey Smith's game-high nine clearances and pacing all players with 15 clangers. The 25 year old has now produced 100+ fantasy points in 11 of his last 12 outings and exits Round 18 currently ranked the AFL's No. 1 for total score involvements on the year (134).
