Old Bartel

[eaglesman]

I was watching the start of cats game and thinking to myself I really don't like Birchall all that much ... And Bartel starting get cheap kicks so I put him in my side

5 minutes later I was reminded exactly why I am not bothering with this bloke . There will be many missed games. Laird and rance my 2 back premos

To be fair to Jimmy, since 07 he has played 20, 22, 21, 21, 21, 19, 21, 21 and 11 games. Last year he had his first serious injury in a long time and that was the knee. He has had the concussions but he has generally backed up. If he misses games, he will miss 3 total. The ever durable Simmo missed 2 last year.

For reference, using Birchall as an example, these are the games played since 07

22, 22, 19, 21, 21, 20, 14, 22, 18

So he has played 179 of a possible 198 not including finals.

Jimmy had played 177 of a possible 198 not including finals.

No denying his history and a SuperCoach star. Im just not picking him this time round

Bartel passed the concussion test though didn't he? I'd say if it wasn't just a NAB Challenge game he would have come back on

Yes he did, according to Nathan Templeton.

The bloke is a superstar and will average 95+ yet again.
Why is everyone worried about a mild concussion???
It's NAB and it was 35 degrees why would you bring a veteran back on in NAB for anyway...

Jimmy Bartel, Superstar, He's won more premierships than StKilda.

Because he's 32 and has had like 15 concussions in his career

[RaisyDaisy]

Bartel passed the concussion test straight away, but didn't return as a precaution

Is fine, and playing round 1

[sammy123]

i don.t have him in my side as he can't fit in my structure. BUT will be in there as soon as i can upgrade him

His nab cup wasn't impressive, is he still a good option

He started thr first quarter with thr highest or second highest DT score for geelong..really good signs before the hit, thrn they just didnt risk him. He'll either be very reliable (especially with thurlow going down) or he'll be showerhouse.

Ive been burnt a few times in thr past by not getting him as a defender..im not gonna let that happen again
