North Melbourne coach Brad Scott admits Marcus Bontempelli was in the clubs crosshairs on Saturday night but denies bad blood between the AFL rivals.The 20-year-old star was roughed up and set upon even before the first bounce in the Western Bulldogs 14-point win over the Kangaroos on Saturday night.Michael Firrito and Bontempellis cousin Nick Dal Santo were in the thick of the action, with plenty of Kangaroos making themselves known to the midfielder.With plenty of feeling in the air, the obvious link was to Bontempellis comments from their previous encounter, when he accused Lindsay Thomas of a malicious hit on Lachie Hunter.Bontempelli tactfully ignored a question about what drove the Kangaroos interest in him, but said it was certainly noticeable.Everyone in the stadium knew ...
