Jimmy Bartel Leaving GWS Giants

Jimmy Bartel reported as leaving the GWS Giants at the end of this year

Personally I would love the Dees to reach out to him to offer him a role in our footy department - he’s done a great job at GWS and has such a great understanding of the modern game

Could be one to look at given some of the calls to refresh our coaching staff this offseason…

    Footy Director at GWS from 2018-24. Hmm... on the scale of 'squandered dynasties' that sits just above the collapse of the Mongol Khanate.

    Why?. Great player but no coaching experience. Maybe could learn on the job. Back office advisory maybe.

    We need a seriously top shelf forward coach. And maybe strategic in the mould of Yze

    A good cultural fit

    Reckon Shannon Byrnes will put in a good word?

    One of my fav non-Melbourne players and a good footy brain. Would love him at the club in a footy director type role. He doesn't have coaching experience, but if he has aspirations there then strategy would be a nice fit.

    Always found it odd that a Geelong man through and through was on the GWS board.

    Yes. Replace Alan Richardson. Fresh ideas

    Disagree entirely. I think he’s one of the few in the commentariat who has any clue whatsoever

    our next forwards coach?

    Midfield? I think he’s more focused on back office roles. Board room to FD is bit of a backwards step I think.

    I watched him on footy classified he explained in detail how the cats would dismantle our game plan, we beat them and broke their 7 game winning streak. He was a great player but we need a forward coach with proven experience and as previously mentioned an excellent game day strategist ala Adem Yze.

    Ooze might be available again soon the way the Toiges are going. Their feral fans won’t be happy

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.
