What’s Bartel doing? He was one of the most reliable kicks I can remember, along with Aker and (gulp) N Brown. Omitting Tory D as I think someone said he himself was not sure he could impart how he kicks so well to others some years ago.

There was an article this week about who is working in the private school footy system and one that jumped out was Paul Hudson coaching at Yarra Valley Grammar. The fact he is still working in football suggests he’d be worth approaching as goal kicking coach - one of the best kicks at goal we’ve had.

Does a goal kicking coach have to have been in the AFL as a player? Teaching technique is something different than being able to do it yourself.

Beaut suggestion.

I remember being in the Lions cheer squad in early 2001 at Colonial Stadium when Hudson kicked 8 will never forget that day. I'm pretty sure it was the Lions last loss of the season that year and they went on to win 3 straight premierships.

Did the roof at Colonial spring a leak that day? I remember that the rain was so heavy that the sound of it hitting the roof made it almost impossible to hear the person sitting next to you.

I’m disappointed you have not followed my campaign to pry Bartel away from the giants as footy director and bring him to our club as Grants replacement.

Thanks for update. I didn’t even know he was a footy director. Goal kicking coach out of the question. After his media stint I had no idea what he was doing.

He has been footy director for a number of years while doing media.
FWIW i believe he is now on 3aw and Footy Classifieds (well the season just gone).

Wouldn’t be putting footy classified on the resume.
