Western Bulldogs captain Marcus Bontempelli has opted against free agency, instead committing to a four-year contract extension that will keep him with the club until at least the conclusion of the 2029 season. This decision underscores his dedication to the Bulldogs, where he has established himself as a key player.
In a recent celebratory event commemorating the club’s 100-year history, Bontempelli was honoured as the second-greatest Bulldog of all time. This distinction highlights not only his skill on the field but also his significant impact on the team and its supporters.
With his contract extension, Bontempelli’s ongoing presence is sure to bolster the Bulldogs as they look to build on their legacy in the AFL.
