Rate a Tiger's year: 3. Brett Deledio

[one-eyed]

Lids is next.

Lids played 19 games this year (missed three due to his broken hand), averaging 18.4 disposals (7th best Tiger) and 5.4 marks. He also kicked 21 goals. Lids has now played 62 matches in his 3 years at Punt Rd.

How did we all rate Lids' year?

[retygas]

Not being able to each and every game due to where I am and what they show us.
I think his year was consistant and solid.
With a few jitters along the way, but the man is young, and we have to allow for these.
A captain in the making, maybe.

deledio had a couple of issues during the yr, mainly because he was playing a role that he should never be playing. he struggles with a tag, but experience will settle that, at early on was playing a little relunctant and soft. but he came back with a vengence and starting winning heaps of hard ball and is definatley better playing in the fwd half than the back half  and midfeild. lids imo isnt an inside mid, whereas tambling is. its taken this long for terry to work that out.

lids had a very good and underrated year. he will finish top 4 in our b and f

[Mr Magic]

Improved again which is great but would hope he really goes up another notch next year. he is after all our no1 draft selection.

Played half back, on the ball and up front.

Personally I'd like to see him as a permanent fixture in the front half. Looks a natural forward to me.

7.5/10

[Beren]

Thought his year was average up till he broke his hand, after he came back he seemed to lift in intensity.
He misses too many set shots at goal yet every time I go to training he's one of the last to come in, spends a lot of time at the end of the session having set shots on goal.

impressive year, his form after the injury was a taste of what he can do. Should play that forward/midfield hybrid role from now on

08 = Lids breakout year   

[Mr Magic]

A top 5 finish in the B&F suggests he had a pretty good season overall.

Cute

[WilliamPowell]

Have to agree was a different player when he came back from that broken hand.

Playing the different roles I think was just part of his education and that's what he needed.

I was very happy with his year

7.75/10

Last year Lids had the yips but this year he had a pretty decent record - 21.10. Agree entirely with the rest Beren. 11 goals in the last 4 games showed the damage Lids can do. 2008 will be exciting to watch  .

Brian Royal RFC review

Brett Deledio

In his last five games after coming back from a broken hand, he played much better football, and suggests to us he is going to be a really good forward for Richmond heading into the future. I would say Brett probably wouldn’t think he had as good a year as he did last year.

though lids was a lot better this year than last

[Mr Magic]

Has Royal got a clue?

Lids finished 5th in the B&F.

Maybe someone should do a review of Brian's year.
