[1] He missed the 1982 finals due to a kidney injury sustained at an exhibition game in Esperance midway through the season.
Sartori left Swan Districts in 1986 after six seasons in which he had played 82 games and kicked 119 goals in the number 15 guernsey.
He joined the Carlton Football Club in 1987, but with Stephen Kernahan and Justin Madden monopolising the centre half-forward and ruck positions, Sartori was used mainly as a full-forward.
A hamstring injury in 1987 cost him a spot in the 1987 premiership side,[2] but his marking was potent in the 1988 Qualifying Final against arch-rivals Collingwood.
After the 1991 season, Sartori was traded as part of a complex deal to Fitzroy Football Club.
