If Bartel wins the trifecta

[rfctigerarmy]

That is the Brownlow, Premiership Medallion and Norm Smith, will he be the first player to suffer from neck strain?

But seriously, who cares if player x/team x/coach x is the first to do whatever. Pointless.

Also an All Australian so if he does do all 5 in 2007 that would be simply amazing. Also he's the first player to win the brownlow and to miss 2 games in the H & A Season which were Rounds 21 & 22.

Incorrect. James "Dipper" Bartel won it in '86.

Yeah was in a lot of trouble with a head knock(?) in the 1st quarter against the swans. Went to hospital, came back the next week and played a very average half a game against the bombers.

Is he the only Brownlow Medallist to have 2 stays in hospital during the season?
