Very good player but a bit overrated, his numbers are very similar to Stantons who is regarded as a spud by most supporters. Would be interesting to see how they would be rated if Bartel played for us the whole time and Stanton played for the Cats.
not even close, Bartel wins 1 on 1s, never does really dumb things like Stanton has done over the years, never goes to ground and allows his opponent a easy possession, I have never seen Bartel run down from behind for holding the ball.
those clutch goals, big moments in games Stanton has never done.
In my eyes there is a pretty big gap.
This isn't being harsh on Stanton just showing the class of Bartel, much like how I rate Mercuri.
Mercuri was Essendons version of Bartel in my eyes.
