Jimmy Bartel - An All Time Great.

Remove this Banner Ad

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.

Hey flog how do u win a brownlow if u only play well in finals?You've got no idea about footy :rolleyes:

That was a one-off year. He had a blinder in 2007. A one hit-wonder. Shame it doesn't change the fact he is a glory chaser and doesn't put in the hard yards in the home/away season, hence why he such an average player that nobody really notices (excluding september).

Can you list all the players that have won a Brownlow, Norm Smith and 3 Premierships please.

Jimmy Bartel? Gave him kudos on his consistent year in 2007 but has been shit ever since. Norm Smith, yeah, isn't that a medal won for the best player in the Grand Final? That totally corresponds to my argument, so thanks for that stat. And 3 premierships mean shit all on a players ability, Lewis Roberts Thompson has won 2...

I guess Adam Goodes has been a downhill skier then when Sydney haven't been going well? In fact from 2006.

His 2008 was statistically better than his Brownlow year.

2007 - 27.5 disposals per game, 3.9 inside 50's, 3.7 clearances and 18.8 on the scoreboard.
2008 - 28.1 disposals per game, 3.9 inside 50's, 3.7 clearances and 22.15 on the scoreboard.

In 2009, his disposals a game average fell to 27 a game while he spent more time in the back line to cover for Josh Hunt's knee injury which kept him out the year, which is evidenced in his drop in inside 50's, clearances and goals. Was still averaging 26 possessions a game in 2010, but that fell to 22 a game as he played more often across half forward in 2011, while increasing his inside 50 tally to 4 a game and kicking 26.6 for the year.

So, to say he's done nothing since he won the Brownlow is ridiculous in the extreme.

a one hit wonder huh? Does that make every brownlow medallist who has only won the prestigious award once a one hit wonder? When was the last time sydney won a brownlow medal? the 80's?
 
Yeah he had a weird game. Racked up plenty of touches, but didn't seem very effective - really stood out as a weird game for him because he is overwhelmingly not like that.

His attempt at being Joel Bowden to try and show off his versatility perhaps? :)
