Bartram to miss rest of season

Bummer

[AshaDasha 27]

Hope he's fit and firing for 2013!

[demonoid 317]

the article makes it sound like he may struggle to come back at all.

Does anyone know his contract status? Maybe this could explain why he has been struggling.

Still, one man's misfortune is another's opportunity.

[Dee*ceiving 1,674]

Agree demonoid, it didn't paint a positive picture at all

[Jesse Christ 2,884]

Yeah- whose opportunity will that be? Bennell's? Argh

Feel for the bloke. Makes you realise how much some put into being out there and representing the red and blue. Must suck when you want to give it your all but can't because of a failing body. Hope he makes a return.

[rjay 24,928]

Similar problem to Scully and Cooney?

[Range Rover 1,935]

Doesn't sound too good at all.

Jeez doesnt take you long old dee!

Wish Barty the best for a speedy recovery. time to step up James Strauss

[beelzebub 23,376]

Not good. Thats its degenerating faster this season doesn't bode well at all. Good luck Barty. Hopefully a good recovery.

[old dee 23,791]

In Fact RR it sounds very much like the end.

Just what we need the loss of a 100 game player.

I did not raise no.7

But when he was I could not help myself demonWA.

Do you disagree?

[Dr. Mubutu 853]

Just what we need. More serious injuries to small defenders.

For Barty's sake I hope it's not as bad as is being implied.

[olisik 4,060]

now we need both small defenders and small forwards. def some opportunities for some fellas.

Relax Old Dee ... He's got this ...

It's a shame. Not the classiest player, but he busts his nut for us & plays a key role in the team as midget forward tamer. Hopefully somebody can step up & fill that role well because presently we've got nothing!

Worry less abou your fringe JB and you might be a player(not just a fringe player)

Very good RR

nothing like a little humour to brighton a sad occasion.

Can you just make sure he is not in the team that plays Brisbane on Sunday1st.

I will be at that game with my brother in the members at the Gabba

It is most unseamly to be rolling around the floor crying in front of your brother, sister inlaw and 5000 Gabba members

[Pates 9,660]

Terrible news for Barty, he's a great competitor and has had really bad luck for much of his career. I hope he can come back from this, it doesn't sound great but he's a battler.

Good luck with recovery, Clint.

[Jordie_tackles 354]

Bartram is the type of player who could walk straight into Coaching imo like Mathew Egan has from a young age, his inclusion into the leadership group suggest this to me.

But here is hoping he returns, i think he is by far our bets small defender

[jane02 3,748]

I am sorry for Clint. I've watched his progress with interest as I work with one of his uncles and have seen him get tougher and give his all week in and week out. He also lays a mean tackle.

I hope he recovers well and back in the team sooner than later.

[BIG JIM 508]

Got told it's not looking good and has no options at this stage.

Great little player and will be a big loss to our backline

All the best mate hope they can get you back out in the red and blue.

[Rogue 585]

The Club and Clint are exploring all treatment options in the hope of getting his knee back to a level that will allow Clint to continue his career at the MFC.

Not good at all.

Poor guy.
