Blake by a thousand times. Class, silk, 2? flags with 2 clubs and a very sneaky, smart half forward for 5 or 6 years there. Able to have an impact with minimal chances (pardon the pun).
No versatility whatsoever.

Bateman only really 1 very good year. Versatile, gut runner. But pre & post-08 really a forgettable player.

Heffernan v Bateman would be interesting.

Interesting comparison between two players that are really no where near each other in terms of similarity or positions they played.

Bateman is a gut runner, Caracella was more of a utility player that could play just about anywhere and do any job.

Both were/are good players and were/are valuable for their respective teams.

Caracella was a classy player, who produced good footy in more than just one season. That puts him ahead, quite comfortably
