As mentioned in another thread, he's going to be a great get for whoever gets him.

Has worn a few different hats in the governance and footy department side of things. 

 

If its a choice between Collingwood  or us and he wants to get back into club land, do people really think he would choose us??????????

If he enjoys a challenge he will! 🤣

I for one would think it would a fantastic coup if the Melbourne Football Club could obtain the services of Jimmy Bartel.

Dont get me wrong Supreme, i think he would be awesome for us, just with all the absolute tripe going on at our club, why would he want to put himself in that position????

Just cant see it happening. Hopefully im wrong

So the Filth have solved their current racial vilification saga then?

Well to be fair Collingwood aren't squeaky clean at the moment.

The racial thing has been swept under the carpet, we are helping keep that out of the papers. No that the media would report it anyway, its Collingwood, nothing to see here.

Get Him

We'd be saved, born again, etc, etc!

But Jimmy'd be an OK second best. 

I’d be a pretty strong advocate for him, have heard some mixed things about him as a person but he’s obviously been involved at a high level in multiple clubs.

Think a role at Melbourne would suit him better than Collingwood, we are probably a little more in need

What an odd post.

You'd be a strong advocate for him, but have heard mixed things?

What is going on today? Demonland is bizarro world.

Oh FFS... Bartel?

This effing club...

Interesting. 

I’m a big fan. Very clean composed and considerate from what I’ve seen of him post footy. Would be a good appointment and an upgrade in a variety of roles. If he’s keen on contributing to the club, sign him on.

Lacking some punctuation, sorry God!

I’ve heard mixed things about him as a person, but purely from a football sense, I would strongly advocate for him.

Don't we want good people given the head of footy role is very much a people role too?

I think I may be the only person who thinks his football insights are often very low cognition. 

Happy to be driven wrong but this is up there with Rory Sloane.

Sure we do, although at the moment, I think Jimmy would offer a strong and different point of view to the leadership clique we currently have.

Edited by BW511

Any chance that the [censored] in charge of our player recruiting can get us a player or two.  Actually, I'll rephrase 'can get us a player or two who are very good"

Claz met with Geelong again today I'm told.  

I thought today was the date of the original meeting?

 

Jimmy Bartel would add strong culture and leadership.  Definitely like to see us pursue him.  

Dees looking for quality people to bring in.  
Also heard we are speaking to Rory Sloane.  Genuine guy.  Genuine leader.

Agree whole heartedly.

Jimmy is one of my all-time favourite players and football people. Would be thrilled to have him at the dees in any capacity.

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

  • GAMEDAY: Essendon

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
