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.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?
