Jimmy Bartel is a DT specialist, but one bad score of 69 against the Western Bulldogs this year has some questioning his abilities to find the ball.
He was on fire during the absence of Gary Ablett jnr in the first half of 2009 but ever since Ablett’s return, he has found it hard to deliver DT owners a huge score.
Bartel is often known for as a junk time specialist in that he scores massive points in the last quarter to compensate for his slow start to matches, but you can see why Bartel could have a downer of a game when Geelong’s midfield includes the likes of Ablett, Joel Corey, Joel Selwood and Cameron Ling.
Up to this point, Bartel has had 10 scores over 100 and one under the ton, which is that 69 against the Western Bulldogs, at an average of 116, but his inconsistent start to the last few matches have deterred many people leaving him as captain, going with other options such as Ablett or Dane Swan.
