 2009 Player Review - # 3 Clint Bartram

Clint Bartram – 'Barty' finished the season off really well. His last six games were in defence and he did some really good jobs for the team. He showed some improvement in his game – particularly his kicking and decision-making. We know he is a competitor and he's very quick. He has good endurance and can play on different types of players - Sean Wellman on melbournefc.com.au

    I love Barts.

    Seems like an absolute top bloke and has had a rotten year with luck. Had a fantastic debut season in '06 and was cruelled to miss out on playing finals.

    Unfortunately, he will find it very difficult to maintain his spot.

    All the best to Clint, the kind of goer you love to have at your club and wish all players could put in to the same extent.

    Agree - "goer" he certainly is. Especially liked it that Bartram, like Dunn, played so much better when they came back to the team after being dropped to the Scorps for a few matches. Showed us that for both of them there might be a lot more upside to come. Top teams have reliable taggers who can nullify the opposition's best while giving their team some drive also, and we need at least two players with that ability - Bartram is right up there for that role, and his value to the team will increase hugely if he can pull it off. If not, then he'll be competing with a number of hard-at-it smaller players and his place in the team will be more vulnerable.

    Apparently St. Kilda are interested in him.

    It was a Blunt way of saying it, compared to your comment....

    Yes the wording could be better but i do not rate Clint as a footballer.

  • Quote

    CB, real endurance player who gives his all. He did finish off the season well I thought.

  • Quote

    Pretty much echoing the comments made by most others - love his endeavour, seems to have a top attitude, and is a handy type of player to have at a club... But, I think he could certainly be a chance for a delisting or a trade (would anyone trade anything of any value for him? I really have no idea), and if he does stay, I think he will find it hard to play 15+ games next season, excluding a horrid injury count again. But fair play to you Clint, you give your all. And a tough year off the field with your dad dying too.

  • Quote

    His skills really let him down, which makes it tough. Certainly a potential delist.

    I'm surprised the Saints have shown interest, but with pretty average draft picks in a shallow pool they might be keen to pick up some 'fringe' players who they feel have untapped potential.

    Those who want to keep him need to figure out who of guys like Buckley, Miller and Cheney they're happy to let go of instead.

  • Quote

    When Barty burst on the scene i was mightily impressed with this kid.. ..wheres it gone ?? Very borderline as a retainer for mine.

    caveat... Hes had a shocker of a year in many respeccts and on that basis I'll give him some largese but he will probably be kept if not traded and needs to do a mighty preseason and come out scalp taking.

  • Quote

    Potentially he has the prospect ( and potential ) of taking over a Junior type role. He will need to become better poised and more of a clinical thinker and if so will be more than handy.

    He'll be kep in this light unless really needed as part of some convoluted deal to secure a gun.

    :lol: precious

    Love his endeavour, but his skills dictate that he is just not up to it.

    Going forward, this is not enough to keep a spot on our list.

    BArts will probably survive the cut as it isnt necessary to move him on this year. Thats more the case than why he ought to stay.

    Will survive the cut at whose expense?

    I severely doubt this. We still need to lose a few.

    I'm surprised by these rumours that he's wanted by other clubs, but if he is, he'll end up at one of them.

    I don't think you can count rookie-listed players in this equation...

    why not...their places..or potential places

  • Quote

    why not...their places..or potential places

    They are places - places on the Rookie List.

    You can't draft players out of the National Draft straight onto the Rookie list.

    They're rookie places, not senior spots which we would be using for the ND.

    Therefore irrelevant

  • Quote

    not so fast..if Valenti was to remain he goes on the senior list... ..and we only have so many places for rookies etc. Not all cut and dried as some would have it

    That just means we have to cut ANOTHER player on the Senior List to make room for him.

    It does not mean there is an extra spot.

    cut and dried after all

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
