Clint Bartram retires

Featured Replies

 

I guess many of us saw it coming, none the least Bartram himself.

Many thanks for your untiring courageous efforts, but look after your future.

I am sure any contribution or presence at our club will always be welcomed.

 

So Sad loved the little guy

Gave is all every game will be missed A lot of people here decried his skills A tougher meaner defender doesnt exist in the team now Loved his hard mean streak always beat his man A true demon

Hope the rest o his life is good n happy thanks a lot Barty

I know he's not everyone's favourite player, but my initial reaction was disappointment. He's known as one of the club's hardest workers and by all reports is an individual of the highest quality, so I guess from a personal point of view I was hoping he'd beat this problem.

All the best Clint.


As a lover of the Number 3 at the Demons, Barts was someone i loved watching, not blessed with natural ability, but blessed with heart and competitive spirit.

Thanks for your contribution to the MFC, i think its fair to say you will be missed!

Was always on the cards and would've struggled to get a regular game this year.

Hopefully he stays on at Casey and passes his hard working traits onto the new blokes.

You served us well Barty!

How good was Bart-mans first taste of football for Melbourne? Played on a wing on a then prime Jason Akermanis in an Ansett

Cup game and destroyed him!

Best of luck for the future Clint, i've always admired the way you went about your footy...

 

link? i couldn't see it on the website

Had a lot of time for Barts... shame to see him go, but I guess this explains why Gillies was signed up so quickly; plus that gives us the option of using another draft pick.


Sad but fully expected. Good luck Barty. You always had a crack and your contribution was highly appreciated.

It's unfortunate for Barty. You don't expect injuries to finish your career at 24. All the best.

Although it is hard to take the Hun article seriously with reporting like this

It will strip yet more valuable experience from the Demons list, with Brock McLean and Jared Rivers - the club's top-two finishers in the best-and-fairest in 2011 - already leaving the club as free agents.

Very sad to hear. A true competitor and great role model. All the best Barty with your future endeavours.

p.s. I think Barty would make a great addition to the FD.

All the best to you Bartram. I'll never forget watching the game against the Saints where you kicked the freak goal that put us back within 6 points with 30 seconds till 3/4 time. A great moment.

All the best for the future Clint. You gave your all for the MFC. Unfortunate that your AFL career had to end in these circumstances.

Here's a link for those who haven't paid hard earned money to read the herald sun online:

Bartram retires at just 24

This sucks. Really sucks.

Would have to be one of my most respected guys at the club.

He hasn't been graced with supreme natural talents or any good luck, but he's had the intestinal fortitude to get everything out of himself that he can. You just have to respect a guy like that.


Knowing Clint Bartam quite well personally this is sad.

Yes he wasn't blessed with skills as good as some others but what he was blessed with was a huge ticker, bravery, commitment, professionalism, loyalty and the ability to constantly give 110%. If some at our club only had half of these things then we would be finals bound.

All the best to you Barty, hope you stick around the club in someway as there is a lot the players can learn from you.

Look forward to sharing a beer with you soon!

Oh and also, to play devils advocate here, perhaps Hogan to take Lyons #3? :)

of all of the players i've met, Barty was one of the best. Could have a chat like he was one of your mates. Sad to see him go

All the best Barts - 100% at every contest...

 

1 Forum footy game attended and retires

Maybe players showing up for a look and a chat isn't such a good idea!

That's a real pity - heart as big as house, good player - courageous, disciplined, great runner and good decision maker - only limited by his disposal skills. I really hope we can find a spot for him in our FD as a mentor.

  • 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.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
