Well ahead of you there.

He's the obvious choice. Cripps doesn't exactly scream superstar and no one else is as talented (or successful) as The Bont

I'm surprised AFEL rising star Lewis Taylor isn't marginally in front of Bont. He is after a fitting winner according to the voting panel.

1% of people taking the piss, Vlaustan... Nobody would buy it and if they did the game would just break down every time it looked like starting and then unable to get a trade or money back for it.

Funnily enough I'd love to get the actual Vlaustin on our list. I reckon he'd do really well in our program.

Talent, sure. Shame he was born without any physical support around in and around his hamstrings and will never get on the park. On topic, I'd like to see those 1% wanting him on the cover be forced to actually buy it.

I hope Bonts gets a huuuuuuge fantastic bonus cheque from the AFEL if they use his image.

The Bont on 32% of the vote with Cripps and Treloar both distant equal second with 12% each.

Bulldog gets the nod as the face of AFL Evolution (http://www.afl.com.au/news/2016-12-22/bulldog-gets-the-nod-as-the-face-of-afl-evolution)

THE FANS have chosen Western Bulldogs superstar Marcus Bontempelli to be on the cover of video game AFL Evolution.

Bomtempelli will be one of three players featuring on the cover, with the other two to be decided at a later date.

Almost 128,000 votes were counted in a poll on AFL.com.au, with the premiership Bulldog taking out 23 per cent of the vote.

St Kilda forward Tim Membrey came in second after a late surge with 19 per cent, while Collingwood midfielder Adam Treloar rounded out the placegetters with 15 per cent.

It caps off a terrific year for Bontempelli, who took out the Dogs' best and fairest, was named in the All Australian team, and sizzled in his team's amazing premiership victory.

Each club had one young star nominated to appear on the front of the game that will be available to play on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC.

Greater Western Sydney gun Jeremy Cameron was one who tweeted to be the feature face, while several clubs also campaigned for their players.

AFL Evolution is due for release in the first half of next year.

Can we say it was rigged? A few months ago Gillon said he expected Bonts to be the face of the AFEL for years to come. Then when the poll was put up Bonts holding the premiership cup was behind the question. So Gil likes us when the AFEL can make more money. I really hope there's some sort of large bonus in the players EBA that is coming Bonts way.

I think the real question is why wasn't it Lewis Taylor on the cover?!

I like the AFEL when we can make money out of them, which we are now. We should take this happy marriage for what it is now, and not stay together for the sake of the kids when it turns sour - which it inevitably will.

I used to think that too but I checked it out and Whitlam said it to a country party member called Sir Winton Turnbull(?)

"When Sir Winton Turnbull (a Victorian MHR) was raving and ranting on the adjournment and shouted 'I am a Country member', I interjected 'I remember'. He could not understand why, for the first time in all the years he had been speaking in the House, there was instant and loud applause from both sides."
