Bartel to come out of retirement

[Dinsdale]

It’s one thing to take Hodge but it’s a whole other story taking someone that’s had a full 12 months off. I can’t see anyone seriously consider taking him on.

true, Bartell is no Stewey Dew thats for sure.

I think its a ruse to piss Gablettt off, who also probably wants the Gellonk Captaincy.

 

[RelaxMax]

How many Johnny Farnham retirements = Stewy Dew victories?

 

[QuietB]

It's a ruse. Jimmy is still doing Geelong's work... he'll soak up a spot on someone's list, fleece their salary cap and spread gossip and innuendo to destroy from within.

So same as what Ablett is doing for GC

 

[Lord_Flashheart]

I'd wager any club that'd have a look at him is already well and truly f***ed culturally anyway.

Over here Jimmy, we'll have you

 

[Big_Birdy]

He is still younger than Waite though isnt he?

 

[Down at K Park]

His Mrs must be a massive bitch.

She’s such an attention whore that she probably threatened to leave him if he doesn’t go back to playing, so she can get back onto the society page in the hun.

 

[evo]

Fair enough I reckon.

Probably saw that Norf just re-signed Waite. Isn't he like 43?

Overmatured Bartel to come out of retirement

I think we are going to see a lot of overmatured players pull the pin and still think they can cut the mustard 6 months later - Its the society we live in.
Everyone thinks they are still the next big thing.
eg Dangerfield will retire, play, retire and play on until Season 2030 because Hollywood wont offer him a role in Batman 6.

 

[Supercoach Bargain]

Come to North Jimmy!!!!

Oh wait.....

Too young.

 

[LC_15]

Should fit in nicely with Gaz, Ottens, Hocking and Kelly down at the Cattery.

They really were inspired by North's B2B Prelim drives with everyone over 35.

I can hear the hammys tearing already

 

[Hoops Dreams]

Had lost pace by the time he stopped playing. Gonna look treacle like now.

If Jimmy has lost another 10 yards pace in his year off, I'd still have him over our those in our team who have ELP - elite running patterns. Not that it would happen.

Probably Gold Coast they need some leadership back line coach.

 

[Geelong Dynasty]

Bartel would probably knock back an offer from Norfs Recruiter

 

[Northworth]

$7m/5 down at Arden st

 

[Paul Kersey]

Convinced Bartel is a Geelong poster on here after reading his quotes. Mitchell this, Hodge that, even Lewis got a mention. #head****ed

 

[Collins-Langford-Ayres]

Would still be many teams’ best player.

I just hope he doesn’t think it’s gonna be ours...

Where?

 

[Paul007]

The only thing Bartell should be coming out of is the closet.

 

[chefmeister]

Where?

Lefailty’s wet dream team.

Mathew’s would fill every other position tho.

 

[Norfs Recruiter]

Already locked and loaded for draft night. We will be taking him with the pick we got from Adelaide for Sam Gibson.

 

[Tiger2709]

Linked to the Blues

Makes sense, I didnt realise he had previously played at the GWS though?

 

[Hawk Dork]

his manager is fielding all the offers

 

[Carl Hooper]

this is kewl.

This can only really work if the AFL bring back the mid season draft. Side gets ravaged by injury and decides to pull in a champion recently retired but still reasonably fit player.

 

[Ricketz]

Where?

He could teach Mitchell how to hurt an opposition team with his disposals, and still be clear second best midfielder. Might be worth a look at one year for the Hawks, if they had any cap space left.
