AFL:'Love to see it': top Dog and star Crow to cross paths

Marcus Bontempelli against Jordan Dawson is arguably the most mouth-watering match-up in the AFL.

And it could happen on Thursday night when Bontempelli's Western Bulldogs host Dawson's Adelaide at Marvel Stadium.

"I'd love to see that as well," Crows coach Matthew Nicks said of the potential duel.

"And if the game is going our way, then we may get a look at that."

Bontempelli and Dawson, renowned as among the best players in the competition, boast strikingly similar traits.

Both are inspirational captains. Both are multiple All Australians.

Both are dynamic midfielders, but capable of kicking clutch goals when stationed in attack. Both boast raking left-foot kicks.

Bontempelli is 1.94 metres tall and weighs 96 kilograms; Dawson is 1.92m tall and 91kg.
