Bontempelli scored 163 in Western Bulldogs' 2-point away win over Port Adelaide — the best individual performance of R9, dragging his side over the line in a genuine nail-biter while carrying a knee complaint. Community voted him R9 Player of the Year. At $612.1k with a 90 BE and 153 average, the managed rest risk is still lurking but this game pushes it back. Non-owners need to get him in now — the entry price is the most rational it has been all season. Hold with conviction if you own him; buy immediately if you don't.
