Deledio Must Move

[Infamy]

Lids hadn't played a single game in the preseason, just a couple of quarters towards the end
Was always going to struggle in Round 1

Dimma must have been reading OER during the week  . One of Lids' best games for the club. Defensively kept Goddard in check while also proving very dangerous with the ball when we were attacking. His attitude was very proactive tonight and his workrate was way up from last week. That 65m bomb from the centre square where he backed his ability was great stuff  .

[Hellenic Tiger]

Good players hit back at their critics. Lids did this tonight.

More performances like these at a much more regular interval and he will be a great.

Lyon said Lids had been criticised for racking up cheap possessions off half-back and he needed to play on big name player and not just claim a scalp but to dominate him which he did against Goddard.

Thomas said Lids would've loved it when Dimma wanted him to play on Goddard in such a crucial position. Smart move by Dimma as that makes a player want to play for his coach.

Great to hear isn't it, now he needs to back that performance up against Hodge..

Hopefully this is the making of Deledio. Just about to enter his prime and has all the tools to be considered a top 10 player in the league.

He should be doing this every week against lesser opponents and putting on some scoreboard pressure too

[Stripes]

Seems to play better against strong opposition where his role is to beat them rather than when he needs to be the proactive playmaker and has someone else doing a role on him. 

I think it would be a great idea to put him on Hodge this week. I think he would be up for the challenge.

Bring out his best.

Lids captures the ‘Stewie’
By Tony Greenberg
Tue 05 Apr, 2011

Dual Jack Dyer Medallist, Brett Deledio, is now an Ian Stewart Medallist.

Deledio won the annual Ian Stewart Medal after being judged best-on-ground, in last Friday night’s epic draw with St Kilda at the MCG, by the Channel 7 commentary team.

“Winning the game was what we were all striving so hard for, and it was bitterly disappointing not to come away with the four points after the effort we put in,” Deledio said.

“From an individual perspective, though, I’m honored to win a medal named after a player recognised as one of the greatest players in the game’s history.”

Past winners of the Ian Stewart Medal
2004 - Austinn Jones, St Kilda Football Club
2005 - Nick Dal Santo, St Kilda Football Club
2006 - Lenny Hayes, St Kilda Football Club
2007 - Leigh Montagna, St Kilda Football Club
2008 - Stephen Milne, St Kilda Football Club
2009 - Brendon Goddard, St Kilda Football Club
2010 - Jack Riewoldt, Richmond Football Club
2011 - Brett Deledio, Richmond Football Club
