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.

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

What is going on today? Demonland is bizarro world.

"Dnalnomed!"

Sorted.

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....

I'd trust Mach on this one...


Make no mistake, we will hear an announcement on Bartel’s future, in the near future. #ETdoesitagain. #WhatHasETheard?

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!

He’s leadership would be immense

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.

  • 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?
