Is it Bonti, Bonty or Bonts?

I like Bonts. It seems Bonti is most used though.

That's right. His nickname around the club is Bonti or Bonty... I'm not sure they've put a convention on the spelling!

Kind of, people used to call Aker, Acker on the forum. I don't know where that little 'c' came from, but I don't want a repeat, surely consensus can be reached. :) if it's Bonti, I say it's an 'I'. Banners and cheer squad stuff will have his name on stuff for a generation.

I hadn't seen that, that's a 4th for sure.

I'm still with Bonts, but Bonti can be used easier for banners (rhymes easier) and by journos etc, ie 'The Bonti Hunter' etc.

This is not designed to be too serious. Along the lines of 'a Rose is a Rose by another name'. It just is.

You are all only half correct. It is an AC/DC reference: Bon T. And the T is for THUNDERSTRUCK.

I don't think they call Shaun Higgins Missy around the club. I always hear that at games.

I call him Bonts.

FYI I call Higgins....... Higgins.

Bonte with the 'e' pronounced is a possibility, although if it's pronounced the Italian pronunciation it would sound more like Bontay.

I want to change to this. Running 50m out, we start the call of his name as he kicks truly from 45 out and holding the call of the 'e'

Thanks MRM, with 5 years back and forth, I guessed so - just checking :) . Thanks for highlighting that not everything I post is bad, gun loading or 1000 cut killing. You just pepped me up a little. Thanks mate.

More research reveals further need to correct you all.

His surname is Tempelli.

He has a name that is like Mr Jovi's.

I'd like to think we could also cope with his real name. Repeating it four times in your head or out loud qualifies you to be proficient at Bon/tem/pel/li, and feel guiltless when calling him a monosyllabic one.

AFL360 ran with this issue tonight.

Bob Murphy said they haven't settled on The Bont or Bonti. Even mentioned Fonzerrelli has been thrown up.

Glad WOOF could be the front runner on this issue before the mainstream media picked it up. :)
