Terry Bartel is Jimmy Bartel's father. There is a story about him in the Age. He was apparently a brilliant Cricketer, and Footballer. He played a few games with Carlton reserves, but had the wander lust, and Ron Barassi could not get him to come back. "The best-known example of a disappearance is taken from his brief stint under Ron Barassi at Carlton. Bartel abandoned his first stint at Carlton soon after his arrival. Carlton officials made the trip to Beechworth with a wad of notes to entice him to return." He must have been good. http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/m ... -niom.html . |

Pity. We could have done with another decent little guy to feed off Big Nick. F/S possibilities also come to mind. Nichevo. Names like Lloyd come to mind... |

Heard he was a real prick to Jimmy when he was growing up aswell. Now James doesn't want anything to do with him. When he won the Brownlow, his old man rang him up to reunite and Jimmy told him to stick it up his arse. Good on him I say. |

I sure we could all name players we have seen in the country who were brilliant players in everything they did but just didn't have that extra something to make it at the top level. One case comes to mind of a bloke I knew here in Tassie who came from a small fishing town on the east coast who was brilliant at all sports and made his name as a local footballer. Wonderful player who could do anything. Was invited to North Melbourne during the Barassi era and decided to wear his local footy team's jumper on his first training night. So the story goes, Barrassi told him to get the jumper off and put on the club training jumper at which point the boy said I wear my home town jumper or I don't train. He was back in Tassie the next day never to return. I'm sure there are many similar stories. |
