Jimmy bartel, could he/should he coach??

[mick500]

I think his style would translate well with the millennials, has a great understanding of the game, seems very level headed and I reckon if he gave you a spray you would know you deserved it.

So has he ruled it out? Have clubs been interested?

 

[kranky al]

Yes

 

[ash_1050]

Today's coverage showed he knows the game inside out and has an acute sense of anticipation for the game. Would be a great midfield coach.

 

[Power Raid]

Yes

where?

 

[Milux]

I'm sure something popped up earlier in the year about Brisbane being keen.

 

[Duskfire]

Yup agreed he definetly should. I guess it’s how much he gets paid for his various media jobs and whether that’s worth a massive increase in stress and work. But he would be a great coach.

Think he would be great at a young developing side as a midfield coach. Brisbane? Not sure who they already have forgive my ignorance.

 

[Gydafud]

Yes, but not at Geelong. I don't like favourite sons coaching their team. Never seems to work out...

 

[vicpride]

As long as he replaces that imbecile ling we'll all be happy.

I agree to a certain extent, but I think it is fine if they aren’t head coach. Scarlett and Enright for instance look like they are doing amazing work.

Bartel on special comments today showed exactly what is wrong with channel 7 commentary.

He provided insights as to why things were happening in the game instead of trying to crack jokes, one up on meaningless stats, stupid phrases or yelling into the microphone.

Sevens most astute acquisition in the last 20 years will hopefully cost the likes of Carey, Ling and Watson their cushy jobs.

Agreed, but blow torches are always applied to head coaches. Doesn't matter how much success you have either, it always ends the same.

 

[Pack Specialist]

He's been 2x AA, 3x Premiership player, Brownlow medallist and a Norm Smith medallist.

Extremely intelligent, courageous and personable.

Would almost be the perfect HC prospect IMO.

 

[HTT]

Could he? s**t yeah

Should he? No. I want him commentating

Agree with your comments Rich01..... Jimmy Bartel's commentary today was a 'revelation' and in all my time of listening to over the top and meaningless commentary over so many years, Jimmy's insight into how the game was being played or should be played including stoppage play along with the ruckman's palm work and with what hand, made his fellow commentators insignificant, if Jimmy is a not a potential future coach of sorts then it will be a disservice to our great game.

 

[kreglze]

Wouldn't mind the Suns asking the question.

Yeah he'd be an awesome coach, I reckon.

 

[Cyclonus]

Definitely commentated well today, showed he knows what he's talking about. Could bode well for coaching.
I just wonder does he have the toughness that a head coach needs? He seems so lovely and friendly.

When Kerry Packer employed Shane Warne to the commentary box, he told him to provide the insight into why something is happening on the field, not describe what is happening - the audience has eyes and they can see that for themselves.

The ‘why’ is the art of the special comments person. The NFL do it extremely well dissecting every play. Sadly the AFL special comments usually revolves around a team that’s behind needing the next goal, or how many inside fifties each side has had for the quarter.

 

[The 747]

They won't let him make intelligent comments for long, thats not what the people want so they say.

 

[Aussie Assault]

He was on radio last year saying he really enjoys the list management side of things, and didn't have coaching intentions at that stage, so maybe he'll go down that path.

 

[Aussie_boy]

I'm sure something popped up earlier in the year about Brisbane being keen.

Thought he actually scored a gig there as a list management consultant or something like that.

 

[MSB ROYS]

He is currently a talent scout for Brisbane.

They might want to give him a more prominent position if he's interested or some other club may come in and scoop him up. Seems everyone in the general public is pretty impressed by him.

The genuine shock and awe from other commentators when his insights proved true was telling.

Was a moment in the 4th when he exactly predicted what North would have to do in order to kick a goal. Was quality.

Listen to him on 3aw so insightful and really informative.Guy knows his footy is he doing U18 stuff ?.As people said no jokes just expert comments.
