๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐! In a stunning twist that has set the football world ablaze, Marcus Bontempelli โ the Western Bulldogsโ inspirational captain and one of the leagueโs premier midfielders โ has officially signed a three-year deal with Collingwood Football Club.
The move, confirmed early Friday morning, marks one of the most seismic transfers in recent AFL history. Bontempelli, a five-time All-Australian and Brownlow Medal favorite in multiple seasons, joins the reigning powerhouse in black and white in a bid to chase ultimate glory under coach Craig McRae.
Sources close to the negotiations reveal that Collingwoodโs leadership group and football department had been quietly working on the deal for months, selling Bontempelli on the clubโs culture, fan base, and future premiership ambitions.

For the Bulldogs, itโs an emotional farewell to a generational player and leader. For Collingwood, itโs a statement of intent: the hunger for more success burns brighter than ever.
Welcome to Collingwood, Marcus Bontempelli โ the AFL will never be the same again. ๐ค๐ค
