-----------------------------------------------------------
There's a new poll on the RFC website:
Who would be leading Richmond's Jack Dyer Medal count at this stage?
-
The stand out for me is Daniel Jackson by a country mile.
-
The stand out for me is Daniel Jackson by a country mile.
Jacko by the length of the street, which is coincidently, the length of one country mile exactly!
-
I am a big fan of Jacko's and have defended him vigorously in the past, but with him probably leading our best and fairest it is a huge indictement on our list. Kudo's to Jackson, shame on the rest.

No no and no.
Jacko has stepped up this year and to say this is to devalue the hard work and increase in skills. gut running and overall performance. >:(
-
Jacko has been a revelation this year.
He has displayed excellent form as a tagger while also accumilating heaps of possessions himself.
It was a real thrill seeing Jacko bomb the ball into the goal square during the second quarter on Friday.
What a great story it would be.......from fringe player to B&F in 12 months.

Agree Beren. His on-field effort is 1st class and should be held up to the playing group as an example of what is possible with the right mindset.
-
Not much of a contest going by the poll result so far lol. I agree too Jacko would be clear favourite. Lids probably second and dare I say Blingers 3rd. I'm a bit surprised Richie isn't even listed in the RFC's website poll. Since the North game he's been named in our bests virtually every week.
Richo would've won it easily this year if he hadn't got injured.
-
I agree too Jacko would be clear favourite. Lids probably second and dare I say Blingers 3rd.
Me too, except Joel 3rd. He has been fairly consistent and has been the one asked to take the gorillas when Moore and McGuane can't handle them.
-
look at all the Jacko fans,now...! :scream
-
I reckon Luke McGuane would be close to the lead
So my main 3 would be
McGuane, Jackson & Tambling ;D
-
look at all the Jacko fans,now...! :scream
Yep unbelievable isnt it.
-
No no and no.
Jacko has stepped up this year and to say this is to devalue the hard work and increase in skills. gut running and overall performance. >:(
No not really as I said well done to Jacko, shame on the rest. If Jacko sits in our top 3 players then you would think our team as a whole is in trouble as IMO jacko should sit about 5-10 in our best players if our team is performing competitively.
-
Jackson at the moment and I have always backed this bloke... :clapping
-
I reckon Luke McGuane would be close to the lead
So my main 3 would be
McGuane, Jackson & Tambling ;D
i thought that way a few weeks ago but in the past 4 weeks imo jacko has taken over
my order is jackson, mguane tambling
-
Shouldn't this be called Richmonds least :shhitest
-
No no and no.

Yep Jacko is a workhorse rather than a matchwinner. Credit to his work ethic and getting the best out of himself after 6 years in the system which his more naturally talented teammates could learn from.
-
If you look at the coach's votes on the AFL website and tally them up, Lids is in the lead with Jacko second. I realise that this is not representative of the club B&F.

i dont thisk lids is leading atm, but i do think he will have a very very good second half of the season bec now he will be coached properly and go on and win the b and f for the 2nd yr in a row
-
I would've thought there would be more support for McGuane in the poll. I know he is second atm but I rate him far and away the best performer across the board for the season so far. In a better performing team he would be polling among the best for Brownlow votes. Tough, clean most of the time and as dependable in defence as attack. Guys like Tambling, Jackson and Lids have had a tendancy this season to go missing occasionally in a few games but i think we always see effort from McGuane even when the game is long gone. Just my opinion though ;D
-
I vote for the honest if brainless Shane Tuck love what Jackson has done but safely second for mine
-
jacko's been great this year but can't go past the ever consistent tucky :thumbsup
-
Did a good job on Kerr last night.
-
if blingers keeps this up he will overtake all and win it easy
-
Well Jacko is leading our B&F. Terry said so much during the game and he would've been the one giving out the votes up to when he was given the flick.
-
I agree tambling will be charging home, although Jacko is not dropping off any :shh
-
David King and Healy were discussing our B&F and it's down to a battle between Jacko and Blingers in their opinion. King said it would be a great effort if Richie won it after being dropped early in the season while Jacko has been very good all year. Cuz hasn't played enough games in their opinion to win it.
-
Richard Tambling would be leading now.
Been very vey good these past 6-8 weeks
-
Is that david king from richmond discussing richmond's B&F. He would give votes in it , surely it isn't right for him to be talking publicly about the B&F. I'm also sure he would talk about votes with the other coaches so would have an idea whose leading , that if it is david king is not right at all.
-
Daniel Jackson leading for me at this stage. :thumbsup
-
Question Can you bet on the Richmond B&F...... if so Hmmmmmm.
-
Richie Blinger would be my pick
-
blingers has gone passed jackson in passed weeks
-
It is actually going to be good this year because I think the B&F will be headed by our young guns
-
Its Tamblings Jack Dyer Medal this year
-
Jackson has played every game and Tambo has missed two.Its going to be close.
I would love to see Richard win...after all the crap he has been through.
-
I am with you Mat...would be great for him to win.
Would get his name up on the locker...permanently..then again..he will probably do that when he goes past 100 games...
-
Jackson has played every game and Tambo has missed two.Its going to be close.
I would love to see Richard win...after all the crap he has been through.
Yes but Dan has worked his butt off this year.
-
If Daniel wins he will be a worthy winner too :thumbsup

Tuck 64
Richo 63
Polo 57.5

Tuck
Cousins
Jackson
-
Not sure if he is carrying an injury or anything but Jacko has had a shocker last third of the season. I wouldn't be surprised now if Lids wins back-to-back B&Fs. Even Cuz might be a show now even though he missed almost half the year with that hammy.
-
who ever wins, they should hand the medal back.
Been a pathetic year

Jackson is an ordinary player always has been. Should be traded out if possible.
-
If Jackson wins our B&F it just highlights even more the sad state of affairs our list is in.
He's a tryer with poor disposal.
-

Knighter won two B&Fs when we were rubbish. You can't blame an individual who's in our bests most weeks for playing in a crap side.
Jackson is an ordinary player always has been. Should be traded out if possible.
Sydney's first pick?
-
Lids wins!
Jackson is a tagger that cannot kick
Tambling was better this year but a long way from winning anything.
-
I agree with big tone....Lids has come home like a freight train to win the B&F
Hope the Chimp wins it next year.

We need to find atleast 1 extra early pick, the smokey which was Black from Peel is someone we could have taken if Griffiths isnt available at 19. Trengove, Griffiths, Black in our first 3 picks wouldnt be a bad result.
-
I would expect Deledio to win 2009.
Btw, I remember speaking to Nathan Foley directly after missing out on the 2007 Best and Fairest by one vote- I'll never forget how he said to me that he 'was gutted' to lose.
I wonder if he will ever fulfill his wish of winning?

Stupid comment
Of cause it is a stupid comment, I made it.
Facts of the matter is as follows.
Alot of players have "'built in bonuses"' into there contracts etc. Top 5 finish in B& F might be worth an extra $10,000
Winning it , $50,000.
Can tell you alot of players depend on the bonus in the scheme of things.
Another example being play the 10 games , you get and extra $5,000 a game
-
Jackster- not sure if he had a bonus written in if he won.
I just know he was generally really disappointed - I mean, for those there. there was this real sense that everyone hoped Richo would finally win, and when he did, we all forgot about the ther young guy who had a cracker of a season.
Having said that, in respect to your 'bonus' comment earlier, I found recently that my father was to be paid $100 extra as a bonus, if he won the 1974 Brownlow. (but that's another thread all together!)

I know all about the bonuses players get for number of games in a season, B&F placings, B&F wins, AA selection, etc
You are accusing a kid, off the rookie list, having a breakout season, favourite for the B&F all year, only being disappointed that he missed out on $50k.
Strange world you live in, seems your world revolves around money. Funny that money doesn't buy you happiness and you are constantly angry. Is that because you don't have enough money, or not enough happiness?

SEN mentioned our nominations for 2009 MVP - Cousins, Jackson and Newman.
These are voted on by the players.

Can tell ya Rhett $100 back in 1974 was good money.
Could buy a carton of smokes & few cartons of beer + Fish & Chips on Friday night & still have change to drink & bet in the pub all day Saturday listening to the footy :thumbsup

Lids has signed up. A high finish won't entice him to stay now. However a much lower finish in the B & F in a poor season for the club will be enough ammo for Dimma to rub it in Lids face and get him motivated for next year and beyond. Especially if a bloke who can boot the ball 60 metres but more often than not kicks it half that distance and straight to the opposition frequently as well will get to take Jack home hanging around his neck.

True but I was more saying "no Lids" from a MVP point of view rather than the B&F. The MVP nominations are voted on by his teammates and they didn't have Lids in their top 3 at Punt Rd. That may sting over summer as well.
-
In the Army the main difference between a good officer and a poor officer was respect - good ones earned it, poor ones demanded it. Same issue here - Deledio will get the respect that counts (peers) when he earns it.

The winner of the 2009 Jack Dyer Medal goes to Shane Tuck ;D

RFC site giving us a hint?[/b]
Strong finish for Deledio
richmondfc.com.au
By Tony Greenberg | Fri 04 September, 2009
Brett Deledio’s strong finish to the season has given him a big chance of becoming the youngest Richmond winner of back-to-back Best and Fairest awards since Kevin Bartlett in 1967-68, and the youngest in the entire AFL competition since Michael Voss, at Brisbane, in 1995-96.
Deledio, who captured his first Jack Dyer Medal in 2008, is 22 years and five months old. Bartlett, one of five Richmond ‘Immortals’, was 21 years and seven months of age when he won the second in-a-row of his eventual five Tiger Best and Fairests in ‘67-68. Voss, a triple Brisbane premiership captain, was 21 years and three months old when he completed the back-to-back Best and Fairest feat in ‘95-96. He went on to win a further three Best and Fairests during his time at Brisbane.
A second successive Best and Fairest for Deledio would be a significant achievement – particularly when you consider how close he was to being demoted to Richmond’s VFL affiliate Coburg midway through the year.
“I had weaknesses that needed addressing and if I didn’t address them I would have been representing Coburg,” Deledio said in a candid interview with the Herald-Sun recently.
“I just wasn’t being accountable.
“Jade (Rawlings) said if I wasn’t prepared to do it, I would be out of the side, and I very nearly was.
“I guess it was the kick up the arse I needed . . .”
Deledio, who committed to a new three-year deal at Richmond this week, averaged 22.5 possessions per game from Round 1-11. That average jumped to 26 possessions per game during the second half of the season.
To further underline Deledio’s major improvement in all aspects of his game as the year wore on, he had 28 tackles in the first half of the season compared to 50 in the second half.
The main challenger to Deledio’s bid for back-to-back Jack Dyer Medal wins almost certainly will be Daniel Jackson, who enjoyed his best season since making his AFL debut with the Tigers in 2004 in the role of a ‘run-with’ midfielder.
Jackson averaged 11.9 possessions per game up until this year, but in the 2009 season, his average possessions per game shot up to 23. And, he played all 22 games, which will further enhance his Dyer Medal prospects.
Ben Cousins also is bound to figure prominently throughout this year’s Best and Fairest count, which will be held at Crown Palladium from 7pm on Wednesday, September 16.
Although the veteran champion missed seven matches through injury in his debut season for Richmond, he averaged 23.9 possessions per game in his 15 appearances, which was slightly above his overall AFL career average of 22.4 heading into 2009. A top-five finish appears likely for the ex-Eagle.
Back-to-back Best and Fairest winners at Tigerland
1918-19: Barney Herbert, 30 years, 7 months
1927-28: Basil McCormack, 24 years, 1 month
1934-35: Ray Martin, 25 years, 10 months
1937-38: Jack Dyer, 24 years, 10 months (made it four in-a-row in 1939-40)
1951-52: Roy Wright, 23 years, 7 months
1958-59: Dave Cuzens, 26 years, 9 months
1960-61: Ron Branton, 28 years, 3 months (made it a hat-trick in 1962)
1963-64: Neville Crowe, 25 years, 4 months
1967-68: Kevin Bartlett, 21 years, 7 months
1973-74: Kevin Bartlett, 27 years, 7 months
1980-81: Geoff Raines, 25 years, 1 month
1982-83: Maurice Rioli, 26 years
1986-87: Dale Weightman, 28 years, 6 months
2004-05: Joel Bowden, 27 years, 3 months

Is anyone from OER going next Wednesday to the B&F?
Yep.
Organised a table of 11 last Wed.
Went to Highpoint and bought my shirt and tie from Bossini earlier today.
-
Is anyone from OER going next Wednesday to the B&F?
Yes I am going - not sure why :P $190 a head mid week :-\ Oh well
Just keep that mobile phone handy Mr One-Eyed and the updates will come through
-
**Sigh**
Its the only chance I get to catch up with a mate that has 2 young kids. An annual event.
I wonder if the JON jumper from the Sydney game will be up for auction?
-
Yep, I'll be there!
-
lol, there is going to be 10 or more players/staff that are not going to be at Richmond after that night!
lol! is Terry Wallace going??? and his merry men???
-
Thought i'd give this thread a little nudge.
It should be an interesting night. :)
Just got out of the shower.
Anyone else going through the motions atm ? :cheers
-
I expect updates. ;)
-
They'll be posting live updates on the RFC site apparently
http://www.richmondfc.com.au/news/2009jackdyermedal/tabid/15090/default.aspx
-
As with previous years OER will receive regular updates
Mr One-Eyed have that mobile handy :rollin
-
its not going to look good when Tuck polls well
Hope he takes it out he deserves it :thumbsup go Tucky
l already lost my money put on Jake King before the season ;D
-
is Terry Wallace and Jade Rawling at B&F?
-
is Terry Wallace and Jade Rawling at B&F?
Wouldn't think so, or let me say lets hope not. Bad PR by the club if they are. Would probably be the first public engagement for Dimma I would think. :thumbsup

Francis Bourke Award (Most Courageous): Luke McGuane
-
Mitch Morton is being presented with the Michael Roach Medal for being the leading goalkicker in 2009 with 41 goals.

3. Newman
Nathan Brown, Mark Coughlan and Joel Bowden and Kayne Pettifer are being recognised for their contributions to the Richmond Football Club.
-
Leaderboard after Round 7
1. Foley
2. Jackson
3. Lids
Doesn't look like they are giving out a best player at Coburg award this year according to WP.
-
Top five after round 7:
1. Foley (71 votes)
2. Jackson (58)
3. Deledio (49)
Eq 4th. Newman, McGuane, Bowden (45)
-
Deledio is in the box seat, one out one back!
-
I'm surprised Axel is leading at this stage. He was playing with an injured foot. Would've thought Jacko was a clear leader at this stage. Lids isn't far behind and finished the far stronger. Cuz and Blingers should make their move from now onwards.
its not going to look good when Tuck polls well
Hope he takes it out he deserves it :thumbsup go Tucky
Boost his trade value if he did ;). However he's not in the top 6 after the first 7 rounds.
-
If Deledio is that close this early then he is home - put everything you've got on him!!
-
Hardwick speech key words:
Ruthless, relentless and uncompromising!

Maybe the match committee were thinking of trading him as early as the start of the year. ;D
-
Hardwick speech key words:

When words are repeated in actions then we'll be happy :yep
I hope Hardwick is all those three things at list culling and trading as well :pray
-
LOL DC.
More from Hardwick's speech thanks to WP:
"No more shortcuts for the RFC!"
-
Richmond coach Damien Hardwick spoke to the crowd earlier in the night. He spoke about the club being relentless in its bid to chase an 11th AFL flag.

mt, before the start of this season, I asked your perspective on our pre season and the quality of training compared to prior years. Your comment was something along the lines of "we tend to practise drills but if they are not perfected then move onto the next drill" or something like that. The most important thing hardwick said was that the summer wil be "rehearse, rehearse, rehearse". He then mentioned no more short cuts. If he backs up that statement, I'll be happy. Look forward to your review of summer training in march 2010
-
Video highlights of all the main speeches from tonight's presentation will be available on the Richmond web site over the next two days.

lol silly swear filter.
Yep Y&B let's hope so. I hope to also hear quick ball movement, quick decisive decision making, spreading in space, 1%ers, tackling, blocking, shepherding and elite skills :pray.

how about kicking goals MT?

Cosgrove/Jenkin medal - best first year player: Robin Nahas

Way to go Blingers :clapping.
No Lids? Round 15 would've been the time he was threatened with the drop back to Coburg.
Tucky's trade value being pumped up ;)
how about kicking goals MT?
That too. Long kicking in general. If 50m out on the run have a shot rather than passing to a 50/50 contest :P.

Top 4 after round 15:
1 Jackson 158 votes
2 Foley 128
3 Tambling 125
4 Tuck 123
Hmmm, I wonder if I may have been a tad premature in putting my life savings on Deledio a bit earlier? ???
-
There are fewer awards this season. There will not be a coaches award or best player at Coburg award.
Just one award left on the night - the Jack Dyer Medal!
Auction on now says WP.
-
WP says Lids is sitting 6th or 7th after 15 rounds.
The main auction is being held at the moment, followed by a short meal break. Then we're into the final rounds of voting.
-
Given Jackson won most improved I'd be very surprised if he won the JD medal
They usually share the awards around
-
They seem to be not including peoples comments and questions on the club site chat link. Very disappointing IMHO.
-
Deledio is 46 votes behind Jackson after 15 rounds. Cousins is 68 behind.
-
Blingers :cheers
-
They seem to be not including peoples comments and questions on the club site chat link. Very disappointing IMHO.
It's being censored before they let comments through. Most being let through are just "go lids" and "Jacko will win it" comments. They also said they are having technical difficulties.
-
So what was wrong with my "we should trade Chris Newman" comment lol ;D
-
So what was wrong with my "we should trade Chris Newman" comment lol ;D
Not sure considering the post moderator let this through. :rollin ;D
let's get ready for the spoon in 2010 boys ! if we think 1 player, Lids is gonna winn 6-8 of the next B+F's, it means no-one else will step up. We're a joke.
-
I reckon Deledio will win. Jackson didnt do well enough in the last 5 games to hold on and Deledio had a great finish. The differential aint big enough for Jacko to win.
-
Agree Ramps.
Jacko and Blingers had quiet games in the last month and Tucky was dropped. Lids and Cuz will come home strong after round 15.
-
WP said they are still having dessert hence the delay lol.
-
Did they get Kane Johnson to do a speech, maybe we could have found out who is next on the Hardwick hitlist for trades and delistments ;D
-
Some of those posters doing the "live chat" would get eaten alive on OER :lol

Deledio wins his second Jack Dyer Medal
richmondfc.com.au
By Mic Cullen 11:00 PM Wed 16 September, 2009
A BARNSTORMING finish to the season has seen Brett Deledio beat Daniel Jackson and skipper Chris Newman in the race for this year’s Jack Dyer Medal as Richmond's best and fairest.
Deledio also won the award last year, and becomes the youngest back-to-back winner at the club since Kevin Bartlett in 1967-68 and the youngest in the AFL since Michael Voss at Brisbane in 1995-96.
Jackson, who received the most improved player award earlier in the night, led from round 12 to round 20, but was overtaken by Deledio in the penultimate round.
Going into the final match of the year against West Coast at Subiaco, only two votes separated the pair, but Deledio collected 14 votes to Jackson’s one to clinch the prize.
Deledio topped the disposal count for the Tigers with 533 at an average of 24.2 per game, and also had the most inside-50s. He had 20 disposals or more 19 times throughout the season, with a career-high 36 against Hawthorn at the MCG in round 21. His goals saw him finish fourth on the Tigers’ goalkicking list.
Jackson was third in the total disposals with 507 at an average of 23 per game, a huge improvement on the 11.9 he averaged in the previous five years, and allowed him to finish in the top 10 for the first time.
Rookie skipper Newman led the club in rebounding, and his third place was his fifth top-10 finish medal.
Ben Cousins finished fifth, despite missing seven games.
The voting system for the Jack Dyer Medal:
After each game, the five members of the Club’s match committee cast votes for each of the team’s 22 players. Each player receives zero to five votes from each member, so the most an individual player can poll in a match is 25 votes. Five votes are awarded for an outstanding performance, four for an excellent game, down to zero if the player is well beaten on the day.
Other award winners were:
Bill Cosgrove/Harry Jenkins Best First Year Player: Robin Nahas
Francis Bourke Award: Luke McGuane
Michael Roach Award for Leading Goalkicker: Mitch Morton
Most Improved Player: Daniel Jackson
Kevin Bartlett Medal (5th place in the Best and Fairest): Ben Cousins
Fred Swift Medal (4th place in the B & F): Richard Tambling
Maurie Fleming Medal (3rd place in the B & F): Chris Newman
Jack Titus Medal (2nd place in the B & F): Daniel Jackson
Jack Dyer Medal (1st place in the B & F): Brett Deledio
Place Player Votes
1 Brett Deledio 190
2 Daniel Jackson 175
3 Chris Newman 162
4 Richard Tambling 152
5 Ben Cousins 145
6 Nathan Foley 128
7 Shane Tuck 124

7 out of 10 are Under 24!
:)
Very true torch. At least one positive sign from a poor year.
It probably supports the theory for us to trade a player in our top 10 B&F that won't be part of our next premiership.
-
mt, before the start of this season, I asked your perspective on our pre season and the quality of training compared to prior years. Your comment was something along the lines of "we tend to practise drills but if they are not perfected then move onto the next drill" or something like that. The most important thing hardwick said was that the summer wil be "rehebehind, rehebehind, rehebehind". He then mentioned no more short cuts. If he backs up that statement, I'll be happy. Look forward to your review of summer training in march 2010
lol silly swear filter.
Yep Y&B let's hope so. I hope to also hear quick ball movement, quick decisive decision making, spreading in space, 1%ers, tackling, blocking, shepherding and elite skills :pray.
I have no idea why the word re-hear-se appears in the swear filter but anyway.
It was a good night.
I thought March was a bit over the top with the whole "if you're not 110% for the club you won't be here long". We all know it was a crap year so maybe he could've left that for the another more private forum.
Players really seemed relaxed and comfortable tonight. I see this as a positive, they know that this is going to the mother of all pre seasons which they are probably preparing themselves to launched into the coming weeks.
Wayne Campbell, very impressive on the stage tonight. Spoke better than the coach.
Please get rid of the MC, he is an annoying prat. The way he kept pronouncing "Brett Deluuuudio" made the night about him instead of the players and the club. Like some of those umpires.
Well done Richmond, a great night.
-
It's because it has the word a-rse in it, which is a little strange as ass isn't covered in the swear filter
-

I figured as much. Its stuffen stupid!
-
Newman and Foley - wtf!
LMAO
"If you're not 110% for the club you won't be here long". "
Hate wankers who use that analogy.
At that level it shows a lack of education and ability to set realistic goals.
FHO!

Brett Deledio the toast of Tigerland
Sam Edmund From: Herald Sun September 17, 2009
EXCITING Richmond midfielder Brett Deledio stormed home to win his second consecutive Jack Dyer Medal in a history-making count last night.
Deledio, still only 22, became the youngest Tiger to win back-to-back best-and-fairest awards since club legend Kevin Bartlett saluted in 1967-68 and the youngest in the AFL since Michael Voss at the Brisbane Lions in 1995-96.
The former No. 1 draft pick polled 190 votes to edge out stopper Daniel Jackson (175) and skipper Chris Newman (162) in a thrilling finish at the Crown Palladium.
Richard Tambling's best season saw him rewarded with 152 votes and fourth place, while Ben Cousins (145) rounded out the top five, despite missing seven games through injury.
In an absorbing count, vice-captain Nathan Foley had the lead after 11 rounds, but quickly faded to finish sixth after missing the last eight weeks of the season with a severe calf problem.
Jackson then took over at the top, but couldn't hang on as Deledio's brilliant second half of the year saw him take the lead after the second-last game of the year against Hawthorn.
Deledio played all 22 matches this season, averaging 24.2 disposals and five marks a game, while leading the Tigers in total disposals (533) and inside-50s (99).
He had 20 or more possessions 19 times, highlighted by a career-high 36 touches against the Hawks in Round 21.
Deledio also kicked 20 goals - the fourth most at the club.
It was the first time Jackson and Tambling had achieved top-10 finishes in the best-and-fairest.
Energetic goalsneak Robin Nahas was voted best first-year player, Luke McGuane won the Francis Bourke award as most courageous player and Jackson was also judged most improved player.

Deledio is cooking after a bake
Jesse Hogan | September 17, 2009
A FIERCE mid-season bake from his coach and leadership group teammates provided the tonic for Richmond's Brett Deledio to claim a second successive Jack Dyer Medal.
The 22-year-old's come-from-behind victory - he only overhauled teammate Daniel Jackson in round 21 - has made him the youngest player to win back-to-back club best-and-fairest awards since Brisbane's Michael Voss in 1995-96. He is the youngest Tiger to achieve the feat since Kevin Bartlett in 1967-68.
Former Tigers caretaker coach Jade Rawlings and the other three members of the club's leadership group confronted fellow leader Deledio after the round-13 loss to St Kilda about his lack of accountability on the ground. By the following Tuesday night it was decided he would be dropped, but selectors decided to give the No. 1 draft pick of 2004 one more chance.
For the rest of the year Deledio averaged almost 27 possessions a match - with a much greater emphasis on hard-ball gets - and kicked 11 goals, enough for him to win the award with 190 votes.
''I was just going out there and playing my own game because that is what you grow up doing - just run around by yourself pretty much - so it is being aware where my opponent is all the time and trying to stop them getting possessions,'' Deledio said of his new philosophy after his starring performance against Carlton in round 15.
Runner-up Jackson, 23, received 175 votes and was also named the Tigers' most-improved player for 2009.
President Gary March confirmed that Ben Cousins had signed a contract extension for next season.
Dick Smith will continue as a major sponsor for the Tigers for 2010.

.
You sound surprised that Wayne Campbell is a good speaker? ::)
And who was the MC?
-
Craig Willis was the MC
In answer to question a few pages back
Rawlings was there sitting on the same table as Wayne Campbell
Wallace obviously was not
Brown NG spoke on behalf of the four older players going = Bowden, Cogs, Pettifer (great ot see Petts there with his Mum after their recent family loss). Spoke exceptionally well. I wont bother going into details because I don't want this thread into a spiral into a bashing NG Brown thread when it is about the B&F
Caught up with a number of players general feedback from the ones I spoke to is bring on 2010
The other thing that Hardwick said was that the team is not as bad as its results or ladder position of 2009 and that one of the biggest things missing is "self belief" and the job of instilling self belief and more importantly a TEAM FIRST attitude had commenced and will not stop
-

Would totally agree with that assessment :thumbsup
-
well done Lids and i guess nice work Jade for giving Lids a rocket to perform.
It turns out thats what he needed
-
People put Campbell & Bowden down for winning B&F in poor sides & era ;D
So l expect Deledio winning the B&F to get the same from the bashers after the season he produced which l rated him poorly & is certainly not B&F material this year
Its laughable he was on the verge of being dropped because of consistant poor games
Frankly l'm very suprised he won the B&F cause Jackson surely was the more consistant player
Judgeing off our B&F l see a bleak few years
-
''I was just going out there and playing my own game because that is what you grow up doing - just run around by yourself pretty much - so it is being aware where my opponent is all the time and trying to stop them getting possessions,'' Deledio said of his new philosophy after his starring performance against Carlton in round 15.
I think this is the case with almost all our players. Too worried about themselves and not about the team. What great courage to come out and admit that and even better that he actually did something about it.
I vote Lids for captain. :thumbsup
-
Can I just give a little whack?
Firstly let me say this isn't having a go at AstuteTiger but I am curious to know how the winners were known at and the result posted at 10.33pm when the actual "countdown" didn't finish until around 10.38 ;D
Here's why I ask: I was sitting in the Palladium and had someone typing the SMS to Mr One-Eyed as the top five was being announced, we knew as soon as Jackson got called as the 2nd placegetter that Lids was the winnner so we got that typed as they said how many votes lids got in round 22 which meant we pressed "send" button at 10.38pm which is when it was announced to the audience
Was the info on the RFC web-site before it was announced to the people actually at the function?
Call me a sook but I paid $190 and I reckon everyone in that room should have known the winners first ....
But seeing there was that stuff up with the Swans B&F last week when Lyon announced hours before the actual event I am wondering if perhaps this "live" stuff is another Telstra web-site stuff up
Oh well

It was an Age stuff up.
They released their articles for today at about 10PM last night online, thus people found the article that was meant for tomorrows paper with the result attached and the leak came from there.
-
I know all media outlets are advised of the outcome of the night several hours before hand, and have an embargo on it.

Slow news day at the Hun:
WAGS steal show at Tigerland
By Fiona Byrne, Alice Coster and Katherine Firkin
Richmond Football Club best and fairest
WEDNESDAY @ CROWN PALLADIUM
THE yellow and black army were out in force on Wednesday night for the Richmond Football Club's best and fairest dinner at Crown.
The Tiger boys looked razor sharp in their slick suits, but, as usual, they were outshone by their glamorous other halves, who dazzled in gorgeous gowns.
Leading the pack was Alyce Oksuz, fiancee of Graham Polak, who looked stunning in a short black, strapless number, while Katie Bowden (Joel Bowden) and Katie Chivers (Brett Deledio) also turned heads in sexy frocks. Delisted Tiger Nathan Brown was one of only a few boys to turn
up solo.
