Pros:
- Worked well defensively not allowing his opponent(s) to kick goals or be damaging forward of centre.
- Disposal efficency, didn't get a lot of it but used it well.
- went forward and kicked a goal

Cons:

Does he keep his spot?

Yes, i believe he should. Really plays a good role for us as genuine back pocket, we have a tall backline so Bartram gives us felxibility and reliability down there.

Fu.ck me that's high! :D

It has been high all year, you could argue he gets the majority of his possesion in the back half under limited pressure, however. If ur going to get around 15 touches a game in the backline you need to make sure that everyone of them counts. His decison making and skill execution have improved imensly this season by hand and foot.

Has gathered 56 touches in his 4 games thus far at 87.5% efficency.

One Percenters: 3

DT Score: 47
SC Score:

Pros:
- reduced Harvey's influenece on the game
- 3 insides 50's, got up the ground and moved into our fwd 50.
- kicked a goal, shows good offensive run

Cons:
- tackle count and contested possesions a bit low, but when taggin quite often you have to sit "off the play" and on your opponent, thus not winning as much contested footy.
- still like to see him develop his ball winning abilities more to take the next step. We know he can shut down a player, but would like to see him win the footy also and hurth his direct opponent a la Ling, Clinton Jones.

Does he keep his spot?
Yes, fast becoming our number 1 option as a tagger, can play as the small back pocket as we went into the game wit our back 6 a little to tall.

- Crucial fumble in the last minute of the game allowed Griffen to swoop on the lose ball and kick the winning goal, needed to kick it off the ground.

Does he keep his spot?
Yes, despite a couple of mistakes has been very good as the defensive player for us over the past 6 weeks.

- disposal efficieny down
- Like to see him win more of the footy

Does he keep his spot?
Only just, but could be a chance to make way for others, however i believe he plays an important role in the team.

melbournefc.com.au - We can match it with the best: Bartram (Matt Burgan) July 19 2010


ON THE BACK of a heartbreaking 11-point loss to Fremantle at Subiaco Oval on Sunday, defender Clint Bartram says Melbourne can match it with the best in the business when it is up and going.

After Melbourne trailed by 44 points in the second quarter - yet got back to within a point in the third and final terms - Bartram said it showed Melbourne could match it with the AFL’s top teams, when on its game.

“In the third quarter, it just showed that when we pressure the opposition we can be one of the best teams in the competition, but on the other side we only played one quarter of footy, again,” he told melbournefc.com.au.

“It’s obviously something we’ve got to address. On the road it’s always going to be hard to come back and peg a good side, so it’s something we’ve got to work on.

After looking like his career was on the scrap heap at the start of the year he turned it all around by doing a real solid job week in week out on the oppositions small forwards. I would like to see him get run with roles in the midfield like he did in his debut year. His disposal is still too untidy. 6\10
 
Bartram

Question - should Bartram be an automatic selection every week?

We all love his hardness and determination, and he really did a pretty good job on Cotchin yesterday, but really, he can't kick to save himself and his skill errors are a dagger to my heart every time they invariably occur.

I'm torn on this one cos I love everything Bartram does without the ball

It was an interesting match-up yesterday, didn't Bartram's missus leave him for Cotchin last year?!

So the rumour goes... Didn't think about that one during the game! Juicy.

Agree with OP, Bartram's disposal is inadequate at best. In my harsh opinion he won't be getting a game when Tapscott and Strauss are pushing for spots next year... Along with Blease and Bennell.
 
Re: Bartram

Whilst I wanted Bartram dead after his three misses against WC it cannot be denied that he is our best stopper at the moment. He held Kerr to a very modest game and would have been BOG had he slotted those three easy shots, and yesterday he held Cotchin pretty well too.

Like it or not- we're stuck with him until we can find another stopper who isn't a spud offensively. Bail may be that man but I dont like the idea of him being in such a negative role...
 
Re: Bartram

Played well yesterday on Cotchin. Definititely needs to work on his kicking but I didn't notice it too much yesterday. In an ideal world our better kicks would work harder to get the ball off him so he doesn't have to kick as much and can concentrate on tagging.

Agree with this.

I can forgive some of the sloppier kicks as long as it doesn't mean he undoes all his hard work. But I also don't want to start rewarding poor disposal. With the skinnier guys you stick them in the gym over summer, what do you do with guys with poor disposal? Stick them in a room full of footys?

This is the crux of it.

Kind of glad I haven't seen a Dees version of the Coke Zero kicking adds.
