It’s a list that’s way longer than it should be, and Marcus Bontempelli is on it thanks to a burst appendix.
The 22-year-old will miss Saturday’s game against the Demons on Saturday afternoon after having surgery on Tuesday night and will remained trapped on 99 games until he returns in 2-3 weeks.
He is now the 12th player in Bulldogs history to be listed as an out ahead of their 100th game according Twitter stats guru @sirswampthing.
Bontempelli joins Mitch Hahn, Daniel Giansiracusa, Ben Hudson, Liam Picken and Stewart Crameri as the most recent additions to the list.
