Dont feel for him in the slightest

He walked out, he made that choice

You reap what you sow and he has

Exactly, loved the booing when he managed to get a touch.

Thought Deledio was not walking properly late in the game. Might have a leg problem again....or he cooked

This is purely speculative but from how it all panned out I saw it as he was basically told to look for alt options because we had no players with trade value last season.

I think it is a remarkable turn around to basically losing all matches when he doesn't play and now having a suite of HF types as well as elite runners which filled his void.

For me he didn't look totally fit and didn't see any of his run and carry. I take my hat off to the club for basically offloading him while he still had trade value and also the fact he might never play 12 games/season ever again

Was fit but not willing to line up for us late last year, disillusioned with the game plan etc.
Everyone was crapped off at last year's game plan. I don't dis him for leaving after last year combined with the last 10 it would have pooed  anyone off.

Champion of the club but going missing in important matches was always his m.o......

...and yet I see a few people joining the pile-on in this thread who, IIRC, were calling for him to replace Cotchin as captain as recently as late last year.... :whistle :shh

Ironically, it looked like he really was trying to help us.  He kicked to Rance in one instance and there was no way on earth the giants player was going to stop him marking it lol

Cotch ran straight to him after the final siren which I thought was a nice touch
“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.

Then he cleaned the change rooms and had practice shots at goal in the dark  :gotigers
