Amongst fellow Brownlow recipients where does Jimmy Bartel stand?

["The Roar Is Back"]

Outstanding player. Anyone grouping him with Cotchin and Priddis needs their head read.

lol Cotchin is a 3 time club b&f , premiership winning captain and IIRC only Dangerfield and Ablett have finished top 10 in brownlow more over the past 7 years. In the year he won the brownlow he also won the coaches award and 5 seasons later was close to the best player of the finals series.
But yea was a flash in the pan who no-one included the coaches rated the year he won.lol

Bartell was a gun.

I rate Bartel, but come on James, what kind of adult still demands to be called Jimmy as an adult? Does he still beg mum for paddlepops in the supermarket?

The same kind that calls themselves Josh Caddy instead of Joshua?

Nick Vlastuin instead of Nicholas?

 

[SSSSSS]

His Norm Smith is more telling about his career than the Brownlow.

 

[BORK]

Certainly stands as one of the more hypocritical ones.

What?

 

[Stevi_Tigers]

One of only two players to do the 300game/Brownlow/Norm Smith trifecta along with Simon Black

Dusty will be there as well

 

[BORK]

What?

JB: He was a problem drinker, and a problem gambler; they were definitely the triggers for his domestic violence. They were fun for him while he was enjoying it, but everyone knows “the music stops” eventually. He resented the fact that he had to come home to a wife and kids after a day’s drinking and punting and be personally accountable to us all. There might also have been some unresolved family issues from when he was growing up that he had always struggled with too.

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

He stands between Goodes and Cooney.

 

[demondavey]

From 2007 when he won his medal. If I had to rank them.

A - Ablett, Mitchell, Judd, Bartel
B - Swan, Dangerfield, Cotchin, Fyfe, Martin
C - Priddis, Cooney

I've watched the A group play a lot of footy and I think that they've got the edge on the modern generation due to the fact they've finished their career with elite records. When Dangerfield, Cotchin, Fyfe and Martin are done, it's only fair to judge them.

As far as Bartel goes? Well he was as good as his colleagues in group A.

And? He’s a problem drinker and problem gambler and domestically violent is he?

Are you really that dense?

I was incredibly surprised when I saw Jimmy doing ads for the TAB.

The offer must have been massive.

 

[Power Raid]

it's hard to take the guy serious when he sells out his own values

 

[PhatBoy]

Are you really that dense?

Are you? I can’t even watch the video for some reason but I’m guessing it is something to do with a bookmaker of some description. He is not encouraging problem gambling and he’s not encouraging domestic violence.

Good to see we found the thread idiot.

They drove up ti his house with a dump truck full of money and the man obviously isn't made of stone.

I bet Shane Woewodin takes his kid(s) with him on his holidays.

Jimmy Jess.

 

[Luv_our_club]

He used to talk about considering running as a liberal candidate post football. Tickets.

Agree. My posting is not about taking a shot at another clubs ex player. It is about a genuinely held disappointment in him.

It is almost satire.

In the same interview he says this.

JB: He was a problem drinker, and a problem gambler; they were definitely the triggers for his domestic violence.

AND this.

JB: There are a lot of similarities between me and my father, from complexion to looks and playing a lot of sport. Mum was hard but fair on me, but she didn’t want me to turn out like him. At different times I used to think she was incredibly hard on me over small things, but when you get older, you understand why. I remember her going off her tree one day when she found a TAB slip in my pocket.
I was about 16 and I’d put a bet on. She threatened to march me down there and tell them to never let me bet in there again.

HM: She had a flashback to a terrible time?

JB: Probably. It was a $5 bet, which to me didn’t seem like much, but it all starts somewhere ... five could become 10 which could become 20.

FFS Jimmy.

The first time I saw that ad, that story about his $5 TAB voucher was front of mind.

I wish my blatant hypocrisy could make me 6 to 7 figures. All mine does is compromise my arguments on Bigfooty.

 

[cats2rise]

Bartel was clutch af.

FTW.

Of course I am going to be a little bias being a Geelong supporter, but I also had the opportunity to watch him closer than most of you too.

Clutch AF. Also wasn't a big personality compared to most other winners which may well skew peoples thoughts.

 

[simmo_bc]

One of the best wet weather footballers of all time probably.

Brownlow Medal, norm Smith, 3 premierships, +300 games and All Australian. Enough said, champion.

You can’t really compare him to VFL Brownlow winners as that was a weaker competition but compared to medal winners from 1990 onwards, he deserves to be there.

 

[TigerKnights]

Bartel was an absolute gun and sits comfortably the Brownlow medalists I have seen from the 80s on.
Only Jr, Judd, Hird and Voss for mine might be in the top dais above but not by a lot.
But I reckon there are nearly dozen that in that time I would class as good ordinary careers, and may have had one out of the box to jag the medal according to the ups.
