VERY disappointed in Deledio, really thought he would break the match open!

No player in the afl would have broke the match open for us.
 He's ended withn25 touches...

[torch]

lids last 6 games v th epies iirc had over 30 touches
he stands up
he had no support yesterday and cotchin this yr may be getting a lot of touches but his disposal has been jacksonesque

IIRC Richmond has lost the past 6 against Collingwood comfortably and Deledio loves gathering cheap possessions when the match is dead and burried.

If he had another 17 possessions and 3 goals like he did against Carlton, that was more of an impact than Saturday's match! 25 possessions that had no impact.

Deledio should be a Top 5 player in the AFL and his name should be up there with Pendlebury, Judd, Franklin, Ablett as a player that off his own boot can win us a match.

When he takes the game on and breaks the lines he is the best in the game. Good players have disappointing matches, he definitely wasn't alone on Saturday (Martin), just sick of hearing how good he is against below average teams and not producing 30 possession, 3 goal matches against top eight teams.

The Carlton match (expect for the final quarter) he was terrific!

[Yeahright]

Very funny post, where did he blame Lids? So annoying when we lose, people seem to not be allowed to criticise a player because "all players played bad." If all players were playing bad, as VC Lids should be one of a couple really standing up.

 Gee I don't know 

would think the title of thread clearly implies that Lids is one of the players to blame for yesterday. Doesn't the thread suggest he NEVER stands up in big games, isn't that apportioning blame for the loss?

No problem with people being critical of players but if you are going to be critical then been critical of all who deserve it rather singling out the odd one or two.

And look at some of the comments. "A show pony", "not a team player" can't help but laugh at those.

Lids was poor yesterday but so were so many others. I question whether any of our leaders really "stood up" yesterday. But the only leader that appears to be copping it is Deledio.

Just believe people are over reacting to this loss that was against a top 4 side.

No I took the title as he doesn't stand up in big games. Not "Lids lost us this game". The list is to long to single out everyone who cares if they don't, as long as they don't try and argue the fact x player had a shocker when they did and try and place it all on one. Have to laugh at "not a team player" but don't see what that's got to do with my post. Just reckon if he wants to criticise Deledio he has every right to. He has struggled this year when the going gets tough.

Believe me. If peddlers, Judd, Franklink played at Richmond they wouldt look half as good.

If deledio played for Pies or hawks he'd be very very highly rated in the football world

[TigerTimeII]

no one in our team except jack is capable of being a big fake player

what?

Just giving expamples of what in part made the thread funny, that and the over reactions

how didhe play R1

[Francois Jackson]

IMO cotchin's disposal lately is of more concern than what lids has been doing

I'm tipping this will gain legs when Freo beat us

[Phillip]

He is a stage pony.

Never looks for a player free, if he sees the goals within 50.

Not a team man.

Cost us 2 easy goals in the first half.

Needs to work on this, our Lids does.

I had heard one of our former employees posted on this website and others too. 'Jackstar' is his name, they said. Well what an ordinary man he is. No wonder Plough got rid of you from our staff as he was well aware, loose lips sink ships  Unfortunately some of your kind are still about. Just.

Brett Deledio never looks for a free man, JStar? Is that right? Not a team man, JStar? Both of those statements are ridiculous and you would never repeat them to his face. I really hope you've been set up here JStar or should I say..................!!

At the end of 2004 (when he was drafted) he was the player who gave us hope as others in the supposed fab 5 in his draft year fell away.  He's an absolute star when he is on song and he has given us outstanding service, not often missing games. Sure he didnt have a good one against the Pies but he wasnt alone. Lids has been great value and he is in our top 3 players. Cant ask for much more IMHO.
