Hes one of round 19s less significant milestone men, but Jimmy Bartels 300th AFL game is still very much worth savouring.Brent Harveys 427th match and Matthew Pavlichs 350th leave Bartel in the shade on a weekend where the AFL will celebrate the longevity of several legends of the game.Bartel isnt even the most celebrated player in his own milestone match.On Friday night against the Western Bulldogs, defender Corey Enright will take the mantle of most games played in a Geelong shirt from Ian Nankervis with his 326th appearance.But Bartel isnt fussed, saying hes delighted to be sharing the occasion.I couldnt think of any better way to do it, especially (with) Corey Enright, an absolute legend of the game, he said.The 32-year-old said he could still remember his debut in 2002.Playing on Smokin Joe Misiti. My first kick was a clanger. A smother. About five minutes later Dustin Fletcher cleaned me up, he laughed.And we lost by 10 goals.More than a decade on, Bartel has made up for a scrappy first game.A key cog in Geelongs premiership machine, he has three flags, a Brownlow and a Norm Smith medal in the trophy cabinet.Bartel says hes found motivation from the very few who have taken pot-shots at his ability, whove called him not athletic, too slow or not skilled enough.Ive always had people telling me what I cant do in football. I have had to prove a lot of people wrong throughout my career, he said.I sort of enjoyed that. It has always given me a little bit of a chip on my shoulder.As he nears the end, Bartel says hes unsure whether to play on in 2017, insisting he hasnt thought about it as he focuses on a fourth flag.But he knows he wont be around to challenge Harvey, or perhaps even Pavlich.Playing another 130 games than what Ive got now? No thanks.In a career jam-packed with highlights, Bartel says the premierships and the camaraderie sit on top of the pile.Ive got to play with some absolute legends of the game, he said.Thats something I can brag to my kids about. I wasnt a hack. I actually got to play some footy with these champs. Puma Shoes Discount Sale . On Saturday night, the normally free throw-challenged centre did just that.
