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:

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: !!!

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
