Really nice guy, comes from a great family and thoroughly deserves the Chas.

I wish I'd put money on him early in the season - but I didn't.

He is a gun, I picked him to win but not with as many votes as he ended with - well done Jimmy.

May the Cats cr@p all over Port this week and finish the year off as they deserve to.

(PS close my thread)

The theory that Ablett and Bartel would take votes off each other basically went out the window, since they both polled very well. Well done to Jimmy, I like the way he goes about his footy under the packs and winning the hard ball. A deserved winner.

Also, Kerr will definitely win a brownlow in the next few years, provided that he can stay out of trouble. This has the be the 3rd or 4th time hes finished in the top 3.

what were bartell's odds?

well done to him...hate geelong, but thought bartel was great the way he handled himself, unlike ablett who you could tell was disappointed.

Mate I'm pretty sure half way thru the season he was about $45 ish.

SaintWodonga · Tue 25 Sep 2007 12:36am

Good luck to him... Did Geelong pick him after we got X?

yes. went at pick 8

Very happy with Jimmy winning the Brownlow - deserving winner, and an absolute gun in Geelong's midfield... Brilliant player

Had a tidy $35 on him this evening at 10-1....
A mate had $5 Each way on him at 251-1!! Now that's a good return for a $10 investment!!

Extremly humble guy...such a hard worker and has such a great attitude and commitment to his football - one of my favourite players who doesnt don the saints jumper and has been for quite a few years...Very happy for him

Yeah great guy, just suprised that with all the media training the players get he wasn't comfortabe at all, even early on the night. But then again i think that is great we got to see his actual personality not what he has been trained to do. Well done Jimmy, as for ablett i dont mind him either and i never sore that ablett was shattered as others have suggested, he looked the same the whole night.

On a side night well done to dal santo he polled better than i expected, mayby i was expecting too much from him, but i found myself disapointed with many of his games. ( which shows how good he is and how much we expect from him)

Know of a guy who wins $23,000 for the Bartel/Geelong Brownlow/flag double.

Go Port.

I can't remember being more pleased about a Brownlow win, other than when a St Kilda player has won it.

Seems like a very modest and pleasant young bloke.

or could end up like Scott West always a bridesmaid !

i must admit its the first time in a while that i have watched the brownlow and been happy with the winner

Yep, well done to Bartel. Excellent footballer who came across as a genuinely likeable person.

*BaLLy iS BeST* · Tue 25 Sep 2007 7:16pm

very happy he won it

how cute was he. hahaha. u could tell he was almost embarassed by it all, and when he was like 'umm..i really just dont know what to say' and looking at the ground.

hahaha so cute.

so glad ablett didnt win. the way he is worshipped in geelong makes me sick.

Disgusting piece of gutter journalism today for the front page of the Herald Sun. Absolutely disgraceful. Not newsworthy at all let alone a front page.

Shame on you Herald Sun.

Shame on you Herald Sun.

I totally agree: it's an absolute shocker. But I fear it's pretty much par for the course with tabloid newspapers nowadays.

To me, the fact that Bartel's dad was prepared to engage in such an interview proves that Jimmy was spot on in wanting to have nothing more to do with him. There are all sorts of ways of trying to resolve family differences, but putting them on the front page of a newspaper for all the world to see is surely the worst imaginable.

Re Bartel as a Brownlow winner: I'm sorry to go against the general good feeling on this forum, but to me he is just a very hard worker rather than a genuine superstar. To me this is a major problem with the Brownlow: it rewards the hardworking, possession-getting midfielders over the guys who actually turn games.

Just imagine if Bartels came on the market at the same time as GA jnr, Riewoldt, Goodes, Cox, Foley, Pavlich, S Burgoyne, J Brown, even Barry Hall. Can you imagine any club being prepared to offer more for Bartels than any of these others?

I disagree.

I reckon Bartel is an absolute superstar.
Uses the ball superbly and would be both the clubs best inside player, and best outside player, yes better then Ablett.
Lays a million tackles a week too.
best player in the comp.

Similar to Harvey in that context?

I think he was a worthy winner.
