Maybe dad spiked his drink. I think he was [censored] his pants he might win and have to get up and do a speech it would be very daunting being the hot favourite and No Alcohol wouldn't help on such a big night when everyone around you is wasted and your sober as a judge.

I thought he looked really tense all night, and didn't seem to enjoy himself all that much. Even when Bartel won, he wasn't smiling like everyone else ... maybe a bit shirty that he didn't bring home the bacon?

The Abletts aere very private people wno don't normally like media attention. He lookes like he felt the pressure that comes with favouritism. & he looked naturally dissappointed.

Watch him go now in the GF.

Not at all, at times he was stuffing around with Bartell, but as soon as the camera's came on them they stopped and looked all serious.

There's some great photos of exactly that......

I think that he did feel the weight of expectation and that the media attention doesn't sit particularly well with him.

But as for looking sulky? No. Disappointed? Maybe, but genuinely happy for his team mate.

Watch him go now in the GF.

And maybe a Norm Smith would make up for that disppointment ;):P !!!

I agree. Made pretty much the same comment in another thread.

He is overrated, and Bartel his mate will go down as a worse Brownlow winner than Woewodin

There is no doubt he has had a great year, whether he is overated or not thats yet to be seen. If he backs up this year with a similar one next year then he deserves all the plaudits he gets.

On certain forums you can block a person so you dont have to read the tripe they write, is it possible to do this on demonland?

Yes it is.

Go into MY CONTROLS.

Under OPTIONS (left hand side column), select MANAGE IGNORED USERS.

This function is very underrated IMO. If you don't like someone and you put them on your ignore list, it saves a lot of nasty arguments and makes your time on this site more pleasant.

Go nuts! :)

Ridiculous comment. Bartel has been excellent for the three years prior to this one and has made the step up to being a star this year.

A very worthy winner.

Woey was a worthy winner as well

he had an awsome 2000 season

What happened after that is another story. Expect the same to happen with Bartel

Some of your comments YM make me think that sometimes you don't have a clue about footy at all. Im not going to take the soft option but next time think before you speak. A comment such as:

He is overrated, and Bartel his mate will go down as a worse Brownlow winner than Woewodin

that really start to [censored] me off. I mean bartel is a great player and to say that he is overrated really stuns me. So next time if you have a diabolical comment like that keep it to yourself.

I am correct as always

You will see for yourself next season when the slow Bartel is tagged heavily and gets 15 useless touched per game

Its official. You are a moron.

Bartel is a tough ball magnet that our on-ballers can only hope to aspire to in hardness.

He kept the cats in the match, 12 possies in the first 1/4 I think, and guess who had the ball in his hands at the bottom of the pack, 50m's out from the Pies goal when the siren went.

No correspondnece will be entered into.

You people have no idea

You are like sheep

You dont have the balls to form your own opinions

Its easy to say what you people are saying. Going along the common theme. When in the end I am the only one who knows what he is talking about.

You should be learning from me, instead of criticising

Yet we have formed our opinion and the only problem here is that it is different from yours.

If Bartel has a very ordinary year next year then so be it, but he has been fantastic this year and your maligning of him is silly and disrespectful.

And if, and that is a huge and unlikely if, you are actually proven correct, it doesn't automatically make you the yoda of all footy as you seem to think you are.

Your ego is staggering in every way shape and form. But what would I know, I am female :rolleyes: !!!

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
