Who was looking after Bont in the last quarter. (probably needed two or three.)
Not sure anyone was solely responsible.
I made a comment that he was the only person we had to stop before the floodgates opened....in the 3rd.
Soon after he was taking intercept marks in D50, and linking up through the middle. Did it a couple times.
In the last he lifted another gear and was helping out down in defence, pushing forward hard and was obviously in the midfield too.
He went wherever he wanted to go, wherever he needed to go and we simply didn't have a good matchup for him.
I suspect we were trying to 'swap out' or 'handover' when he went deep one end or the other, and because he did it so often, he was often without an opponent nearby.
