The delivery men: Who creates your team's goals

Richmond
Who gives it: Brett Deledio
Fifty-seven kicks inside 50 in 2014. AFL ranking equal 28th. Deledio has spent more time this season finishing off attacking chains rather than launching them from half-back as he often did in 2013. He has lifted his inside 50s from an average of 4.13 last year to 4.85, with his rebounds dropping from an average of three a game to just over two.
The most efficient: Nick Vlastuin
The second-year Tiger has retained the ball with 62.1 per cent of his kicks inside 50. Often stationed across half-back, he is more often kicking to open parts of the ground or switching play, but he has gone inside 50 on 31 occasions in 14 games.
And who gets it: Jack Riewoldt
The Tigers were criticised early in the season for not targeting Riewoldt enough, but he remains their No.1 option in attack. The Tigers have kicked to Riewoldt 157 times inside 50, more than any other player in the AFL apart from the Sydney Swans' Lance Franklin.
The converter: Ben Griffiths
Of Richmond's top five forward targets, Ben Griffiths sparks the highest percentage of scores when the ball is directed his way. The Tigers hit the scoreboard 55.6 per cent of the time when the ball is kicked to Griffiths, who has played 10 games this season.

It's a good effort by Lids to be the #1 for i50s given he was out for 4 weeks. Wish he could finish off a few though.
