Western Bulldogs captain Marcus Bontempelli has brushed off concerns over a back injury to play a key role in his side’s comfortable 17-point victory over North Melbourne. Struck down by back spasms at training mid-week, Bontempelli passed a late fitness test and was outstanding in the Bulldogs’ 11.11 to 9.6 victory at Marvel Stadium on Saturday. The inspirational skipper had 35 disposals and 11 clearances but was wayward with 0.

North tagger Will Phillips did well to limit the damage of Treloar, whose cashed in on mistakes from other Kangaroos to kick his goals and finished with 22 disposals.
