Great to hear Bate will be playing more of a full-forward role this season. It is a position he is very familiar with as he played there in U-18s. I think he is a far better option than Newton. Newton has to play in the VFL and prove his worth before any consideration.... However, I think Mr. Watts will be our more permanent FF in 2010....

I am a big wrap for Bartram and it is great to read he will be more of a midfield player with a license to run. He is probably the most fittest bloke in our team. No.3 is an elite number which will suit Bartram. Because I think he will become an elite midfielder....

I think these two players are in for a great year and will revel in these positions....

    He'll need elite skills for that to happen, won't he?

    I don't share your optimism and would be happy if he cemented a best 18 spot.

    I do agree re: Bate though.

    Unless Bartram can be improve his disposal and stop turning over the ball then I would expect and hope he is overtaken by better option on the list.

    If Bates playing forward, I see him as a 3rd or 4th option up forward and not a KPP.

    As the article on mfc.com says, they will be much rotating going on in the forward line.

    Bate looked to be moving more freely and faster with a degree of confidence on the weekend, I'm looking for him to give much more output this season. Bartram's game was highlighted by his 9 point goal. That was about it. He's one to watch this season, he must make inroads to cement his footballing career IMO.

    Bartram and elite are two words that I find difficult to put together without a isn't inbetween.

    I have my hopes that he becomes a solid contributor but he lacks the skills to ever reach the elite class.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
