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

    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.

    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?

  • Quote

    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.

    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.

    • AFLW REPORT: Adelaide

      Last week’s bitter disappointment turned into player-led resolve as Captain Kate Hore marched her team onto a pristine Princes Park under perfect skies.
      The #DeeArmy banner said Bring The Heat and the Demons delivered a fierce, high-quality contest and ultimately outworked and outpaced the gallant Adelaide Crows to win by 11 points.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Adelaide

      Noffy, Hatchy and Randy lead Adelaide’s finals-hardened flock to IKON Park for a blockbuster semi-final against Kate Hore and Hanksy’s mighty Demons.  Adelaide has dropped four of its past five matches at this ground — let’s hope that trend holds.  But don’t expect charity — Doc Clarke brings an experienced, battle-worthy murder of Crows.

    • 2026 AFL Fixture

      The Demons 2026 AFL Fixture is as good as can be expected considering their performances and finishes the past two seasons. Sunday games and late afternoon starts are on the menu with only 1 Friday night fixture until Round 15. They will travel 8 times including their home game in the Alice, their Gather Round game as well as a match against the Hawks in Tasmania. They will face, the Bombers, Bulldogs, the Suns, the Tigers, the Hawks and the Dockers twice.
