It is the equal most votes ever gained in a five-game span of matches.
He is now just four behind Sydney star Heeney, who had the bye in round 12.
Along with Bontempelli, Hawthorn small forward Dylan Moore was the only other player to get a perfect 10 votes from the weekend, rewarded for his five-goal haul against Adelaide.
