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 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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    • PODCAST: 2026 Season Preview

      The boys previewed the 2026 Season sharing their early impressions of the new coach, the new players, observations from preseason training, and what they've made of the new game style. They also look ahead to the season with their predictions, the players they expect to rise, their expectations for the team, and what they see as a realistic pass mark for Melbourne in 2026.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.
