No flag for Tigers if Deledio played: Robbo (SEN)

No flag for Tigers if Deledio played: Robbo

By Alex Zaia
SEN
23 October 2017


Herald Sun Chief Football Writer Mark Robinson says that Richmond wouldn’t have won this season’s premiership had they not have traded 243-game veteran Brett Deledio to Greater Western Sydney.

The Tigers received the Giants' future first and third round draft picks for the midfielder, picks they will use at this year’s draft.

Deledio’s departure saw a number of players step up in his absence as the 30-year-old watched his former club claim its first flag in 37-years in heart-breaking circumstances.

“Richmond fans had an affection for Deledio for such a long time, he was probably their best player,” Robinson told SEN Afternoons.

“Damien Hardwick had to make a really hard decision as to what he thought was in the best interests of the football club.

“It was an emotional decision and we have seen in the last couple of weeks Deledio speaking about how he can’t watch the game and that it really, really hurts him.

“Would they have won the flag if they didn’t make that decision? Who knows? But if I had to make a decision on that or die, then no, I don’t think they would have won the flag because the machinations change.

“They brought players in they brought youth into the team. It allowed them to recruit some players. We all want fairy-tales in football and sometimes they happen and they did happened for Jack Graham and Jacob Townsend.”

Deledio revealed he hasn’t been able to bring himself to watch the 2017 Grand Final and described the feeling on missing out on Richmond’s historic premiership as “gut-wrenching.”

I think this dude is right to an extent we were held back by playing Lids and not playing him wouldn't have been an option

FFS, exactly what decision did Dimma make?

Lids wanted out, he made the call.

In hindsight I agree.

Was pretty gutted when Lids left, but turned out well for us.

Deledio walked out on the club.

He is a dog!

Read between the lines!

Instead of saying he is happy for his old club he has ran away from it all and feels “sick” thinking about it as he knows he walked away from the club that took care of him.

The saying goes through thick and thin.

Anyone who slightly feels for him hasn’t learnt a thing!

He wanted to go to a successful team and went Geelong first then GWS. He shopped himself around!

He knows he should have stayed and for mine, was a player who couldn’t handle the heat in big games!

Richmond believed within themselves throughout the year and now we are Premiers!

No sympathy for traitors!

These 22 Tigers are Premiers and a team of champions now!

Team ... not I wants ...

Dustin Martin handballing to Bulter in Round 1 giving him his first goal in career was a sign of team first not I players like Deledio.

Rumoro about him or Jack fighting with Trent etc ... Deledio clearly was in it for himself.

Anyone who LOVES a club would want his mates to win the Premiership and not feel sick.

You left because you wanted what we now have.

eleven of GWS win the next Premiership, you won with a plastic/test tube club that you don’t belong too.

I liken Brett's situation to a bloke that's just divorced his misses that he's been with for more than ten years without any outward animosity from either side, the divorce gets settled completely and a month latter the ex wife wins 20 million in oz lotto and he gets nothing, how would you feel?

He will be like a new recruit

http://www.afl.com.au/news/2018-08-30/deledio-declares-hes-fit-for-final-but-

GREATER Western Sydney veteran Brett Deledio has declared himself fit and available for the club's elimination final clash against Sydney at the SCG on Saturday week.

Deledio missed the last two games of the home and away season with a calf injury, but said he would be right to play this weekend if there had have been a game.

With another week of training under his belt, the 31-year-old said he would be at peak fitness for the game against the Swans.

"I'm ready and raring and it's just going to be up to the coach (Leon Cameron) and whether he's going to make too many changes and whether he's got confidence in my body to get through a full game," Deledio told RSN 927.
