Brett Deledio [merged]

[Hellenic Tiger]

Lids is the team's barometer.
He plays well the side does.
He is below par and either the game is a poor spectacle even though we win or we get thrashed like Sat night.

5 weeks on sidelines with an archilles, my mail is he still suffers 

[Diocletian]

Hocking hits Lennon in the head....Deledio, the nearest player, just saunters over and casually picks up the ball, no acknowledgement of the incident as another player from further away runs in to give Hocking a shove.

"Leadership."

Disagree not the barometer

More of a wheelbarrow. If he can carry the team they do alright

Certainly playing like it. Having very little impact since he came back. Has the look in his eyes of a player who's NQR.

[YellowandBlackBlood]

Medical report still has him suffering…...

No - hardwick wouldn't play anyone ot 100%

[flea03]

its a myth that deledio gets easily tagged

all bs

if he did then why does he week in week out get so many touches

the one or 2 games he has a quiet one he cant shake a tag

cotchin is the disgrace and never should have been captain

cannot hit a target and chips the ball to no one too often

i heard from a reliable insider that the playing group as a whole cannot stand hardwick and cotchin

I don't get this bashing of Brett Deledio and his 'inability to break a tag.' A lot of the top midfielders in the AFL can't break a tag! Sam Mitchell can't. Ryan Griffen was held on the weekend. Cotchin got Macaffered (albeit in a dodgy manner), even Steve Johnson and Joel Selwood struggle with tags. The fact that lids still got his hands on the footy and set up play (was involved in 2 goals if memory served me right) is a testament to the player he is. If lids was out and the tag went to Martin instead we would've kicked no goals by 3/4 time.

Joel Selwood gets tagged and then stands up when it counts and wins crucial clearances and kicks cruical goals, a la' against us a few weeks back.

They tag Brett because they know he cant put up with it. They know he is purely outside. Those types are much easier to stop.  Dont worry about the stats, he has no impact when he gerts a heavy tag, as was the case again on Saturday.
With his pace and hands he should be able to go forward and be a real threat, but nope.
Considering his gifts, he doesnt do enough for mine.

[Hellenic Tiger]

Starting to feel that way about Lids too Willy.

Hardly tagged till last year when we made the 8.

Before that seldom got the tag because noone rated us.

Come to think of it noone does now anyway.

When sel gets tagged  - Bartel Corey Kelly generally stepup

When lid get tagged - grigg houli Jackson usually poo themselves

So true.
Lids is not the problem.
Too much left to too few as is seemingly forever the Richmond way...

Thank you! Exactly this. When Cotchin got tagged by Macaffer who was there to back him up? Everyone just stood by and just allowed their captain to get molested

Was the new appointed Chaplin that came over and gave the shove. Must be his way of showing they made the right choice

[Mr Magic]

When out marked by Nahas it looked like he'd given up.
Worry about Lids. Looks to be suffering either from injury or depression.
