Deledio on the road to glory
March 30, 2007
By Greg Lange, for Richmond Football Club
Deledio says his passion for football drives his efforts on and off the field.
“It is the competitive nature of the game,” he said. “You’re fighting against 18 other blokes, week in week out, it just draws you in.”
Deledio says he is happy to shoulder that weight of expectation and believes the team is primed to play September football this year.
Deledio says making the top eight would not only reward the players but also the club’s loyal supporters.
“They’ve always backed us in. They’re thick-skinned and they have taken every knock that we’ve had on the chin,” he said.
The young Richmond leader has a good idea of what all those loyal Tigers supporters would like to see him deliver this season.
“Taking players on, taking a few bounces down the wing and hopefully hitting Matthew Richardson or Kent Kingsley lace out, inside 50 – that would be nice,” he said.
