Buntine to pay for Bachelor of the Year win

Matt Buntine

The GWS midfielder took out the title after entering the competition for a bit of a laugh and it looks like his teammates are going to make him pay.

Speaking with the Daily Telegraph teammate Heath Shaw says Buntine will receive a rather substantial for not only entering the competition but winning it as well.

"It's a fine just to enter the Bachelor of the Year. But to win it, that's another thing altogether. I think that deserves a monthly fine until he is replaced this time next year," Shaw said.

The 22 year-old Buntine, who has a girlfriend, said he's resigned himself to footing the bill at the bar for the foreseeable future.

"I expect to be featuring very heavily in our fine system. A large slice of my winnings will be going to the end-of-year celebrations but that's not a bad thing," Buntine said.
