Fremantle midfielder Lachie Neale got to witness his self-declared “man crush”, Western Bulldog Marcus Bontempelli, in action on Sunday.
Neale shared his approval of the young Bulldog with the tweet “The Bont…#mancrush” back in Round 2.
Bontempelli is impressing many footy fans with his dash and dare.
“He’s a very good player,” Neale said.
“Some of the stuff he does around stoppages and around the ground, for a really tall mid is unbelievable.
The Bont.. #mancrush

“He’s really clean below his knees and he’s going to be a star of the future for sure.”
It seems Neale is not the only Freo player who is a fan of Bontempelli with Hayden Ballantyne is also fond of the pacey midfielder.
“I like watching Bontempelli play, he’s a gun,” Ballantyne said.
