NEW role, same old Jimmy Bartel.
The 2007 Brownlow Medal winner has always been damaging as a part-time forward, but last night his years of midfield magic bore critical fruit in attack in Geeelong's 38-point win over Adelaide.
LIVE HQ: EVERY SUPERCOACH SCORE FROM THE MATCH
Bartel, celebrating his 250th AFL match, seemingly brought his own ball for 15 destructive minutes in the second quarter, powering Geelong from his new forward post.
While the Cats were forced to respond to a concerted Adelaide challenge early in the final term, it will be Bartel's genius that the majority of those who witnessed the match will cherish most.

That he kicked his career-best fourth late in the final-term was just the icing on an already sweet cake as Cats fans chanted "Jimmy" to honour their homegrown hero.
MATCH REPORT: SELWOOD, BARTEL IGNITE THE CATS
Bartel's second-term salvo featured three goals — one a mile in the clear after slipping Luke Brown with pure football nous, one after a rock-solid pack mark and one a dribbling, angled left-foot snap — to show all his tricks.

And among a joyous night for the Cats and their fans, the only celebration to rival the love for Bartel was when almost forgotten big man Hamish McIntosh strolled into an open goal in the first term to boot a major in his first game for the club after missing all of 2013 injured.
ULTIMATE SUPERCOACH FORMGUIDE
Every player ran to McIntosh to spur on the former Roo who was obviously ecstatic to have contributed.
Crows forward Lewis Johnston was reported for rough conduct against Steve Johnson just into time-on in the second quarter.

The Cat wasn't fazed by the high contact as he bent over to pick up a loose ball, even seeming to shake his head in disagreement when the umpire told him his opponent had been booked.
Josh Caddy suffered a severe cut when a stray boot from captain Joel Selwood clipped him across the face in the second term.
Caddy had seven stitches above his right eye during the long break and returned to notch 20 touches and a goal in an impressive showing.
