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.

 

Yep. While you probably wouldn’t want Jimmy involved with your sister or your daughter, not many better to have inside your football club.

    What role? He was on the GWS board. Is he looking for a post on our board? Is he a possible presidential candidate? If Green is pres then does Bartel fill Green's old board role by looking after all of the club football?

    What an odd post.

    What is going on today? Demonland is bizarro world.

    "Dnalnomed!"

    He's probably referring to his split from Nadia.

    Aside from that, you would imagine he'd be a great get for the club.

    Three time premier with a brownlow under his belt do not grow on trees.

    I rate Jimmy, was hoping he could be enticed to take Brad Lloyd's role at Princes Park 😁

    Would be handy to have at the Dees ...

    If Jimmy doesn’t make the cut could we employ Nadia to help Brand Petracca?

    Why would anyone be dirty on him for splitting with Nadia? 🤨
     

    He’s just incapable of keeping it in his pants whether in a relationship or not, hence the comment about probably not wanting him involved with your sister or your daughter. Never come across a bloke with an eye as wandering.

    Which has absolutely zero bearing on his ability to do his job well.

    This would be the most important signing of the off season if it happens. 

    I agree, unless of course we found a star somehow but outside of pick 5, it’d be my next!l if we pulled it off.

    Interesting. 

    What's interesting? Just more negativity. Bartel would improve the club. No doubt.

    Jimmy's punctuation is spot on, apparently....

    Probably my favourite non Melbourne player, and he's built a good off field acumen since retiring. He'd be a great get in either a leadership or footy admin role. Make it happen Dees!

    Is that future at the Dees?

    Would love Bartel involved at the Dees. He’s footy IQ and leadership would be a huge addition. And he’d help with culture.  

    Add also with Sloane, Bassett & Teague.  That’s a good group to replace McQualter, Stafford and Plunkett.

    A Geelong mole to get them Clarry?

    Glad I'm not the only one thinking this way.

    The last one was Byrnes, and somehow during his time with us the Cats came across the intel about us taking Max Holmes so they sneaked in front of us to steal him. Then he heads back to Geelong and they win the flag.

    I wouldn't be giving them any more opportunity to pick up IP from us.

    It's pretty stupid though don't you think?

    Don't get an ex player from another club because they might steal intel?

    It's only the Cats, they're cheating in every way they possibly can in my view, and it goes back a long way. Fords, farms, now Cotton On.

    Have a look at Ablett. Could barely get on the park in the end at the GCS. Gets back to Geelong and all of a sudden he's fine. I think his shoulder strapping even disappeared after a while. Was clearly playing dead to get back to the Cats.

    They've been into Clarry for years, I wouldn't put it past them to offer him a contract and say play dead for 12 months and we'll pick you up on the cheap. That's my level of distrust for that club.

    If the comment was made for every single club, then yes, that would be stupid.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
