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: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
