Jimmy Bartel - An All Time Great.

[candiehappy]

But his final innings 0 is still spoken about often

hopefully Bartel's final innings is a while away yet

 

[sexyhunk]

Was dominant in the 1st quarter, but was completely beaten after that by Sewell and spent the rest of the game playing for free kicks

Funny that game was missing in the OP though

Still a very good player though but will await with interest HP's responses

you must be a sad sad deranged person

Only because of the effect it had on his average. They didn't say he was shit because he got a duck.

It was a gaping hole in the OP though.

No, it wasn't a gaping hole, please take the shit out of your eyes and read again :

When discussing Bradman you don't point out the time he made 7 do you

Hi Bay

As you know the greats are judged on finals performances, and more in particular Grand Final performances. Based on Bartel’s Grand Finals it’s safe to say he will go down as one of the all time greats alongside Carey, Ablett Snr & Brereton. Bartel is not only a 3 time premiership player, he is the main reason why Geelong won them. He should have two Norm Smith’s (was robbed in 2009) He's an elite kick, an elite overhead mark, an elite 'thinker' and a wonderful kick for goal and the man you go to in a crisis.

Let's have a quick look at this modern day freak :

2007 – Premium Midfielder of the competition and put out a 28 disposal, 5 tackle and 2 goal game. 145 Supercoach points – The highest on the ground. Freak.


2009 - Received votes in the Norm Smith voting with his 19 posession and get this…16 TACKLE game. Huge influence on the result and can’t be judged by his 19 posessions alone. His defensive role was HUGE. Freak.

2011 - The MAN finally gets his long deserved Norm Smith Medal. Collecting a massive 13 or a possible 15 votes. His 26 disposals and three goals was clearly BOG in an awe inspiring performance which didn’t surprise anyone. Freak.

As you can see James Bartel is indeed one of the all time greats of our great game.That's not for debate but feel free to add your own.

6 years on from his first grand final heroics he is now leading the Inside Footy Votes so far in 2013 after 7 rounds, again not surprising is it?He’s an all time great afterall.

I will bump in September when he wins his 3rd Moral Norm Smith

Go circle jerk on the Geeeeeeeeeeeeeelong Board.

Go circle jerk on the Geeeeeeeeeeeeeelong Board.

[Wiggo4PM]

Need some teeth and a job?

 

[Les Norton]

Yep. Bartel is an all time great of the GFC. A great player full stop. Always been a fan.
He's pissing me off from a DT point of view this year. But that aside he's been an.absolute gun. Great finals performer.
What a draft year that was.

Go get some false teeth, it would help with your drooling.

Stats for missing finals.

Bartel 08 GF 12 kicks 3 tackles. a quarter of his kicks came from frees.

Bartel '12 final against the Purple ****s 13 Kicks 1 from a free 5 marks.

Seems to go missing when the Cats cop a flogging. Not really all time great material there.

 

[Blood Bath]

How can an All-time great be someone who only performs in Finals and does shit all during the season? I think he is more of an 'all-time selfish prick' who only chooses to perform when his team comes within striking distance of the premiership.

 

[silent butcher]

Absolute great of the game 3 premierships,brownlow,norm smith not many footballs have achieved this.Funny reading all the dawks offended flogs comments .lol

Can't say Splodge's stats in the Purple **** flogging of Hawf in that Elimination Final read too well either

Never seen a football win anything. The blokes that kick them on the other hand.

lol what a damming stat that is!

Had 24 and 26 disposals in those two games you picked. If that's going missing then Hodge must have dissapeared into fat air in his last two finals (17 & 15)

 

[Scully2GWS UMAD]

Will be inducted as a legend of the game in time.

Rightfully so.

Like when he won a Brownlow?
