Brett Deledio [merged]

[Chuck17]

Liked his game against Adelaide a fair improvement on some his earlier efforts this year.

Hopefully he will be re signed and right to go from the start of 2010

[TigerTime]

imo, the game v the crows was his best for the yr, kicked long but still want to see him use his pace and take them on mre just like blingers is doing.  lids has the pace and the class, just needs the will power and the want

[mightytiges]

Must sign him on long term contract soon.

3 years is long enough. Takes him past 2010-12 and out of the clutches of GC17 and West Sydney.

[Judge Roughneck]

Lets hope game 99 is a big one.

Going to be tough against Judd / Murphy / Gibbs.

Must sign him on long term contract soon.

3 years is long enough.

I would be happy with 5-7 year contracts for Deledio / Cotchin ..

"RUN HARD"

Ch 9 showed Lids writing this on the back of his hand before yesterday. Seems he read it after half-time especially.

Richo said Lids is now pushing into the midfield. Maybe Jade's doing?

Thought he had a good game yesterday. He was on Judd whenever Jackson wasn't there which I really liked, he beat Judd in a 50-50 contest on the Members wing which was really good to see. On the run from outside 50 would be the best kick for goal for us.

He looked stuffed in certain stages of the game, woudl like to know how far he runs compared to others in the club. He doesn't gut run like Cuz but certainly looked like he was working hard yesterday.

True. I think people who bag him forget he's still only 21. He should be encouraged to improve and good to see him wanting to work and run harder. 3 years ago Judd tore Lids to shreds in a quarter when Wallace gave him an educational run with role on Judd in the midfield in the last game of 2006. Yesterday Lids had the better of Judd in the second half head to head.

[Judge Roughneck]

30 touches, 2 goals, playing on Judd etc.

good luck to the boy next week

Got too 100 faster than Meyer / Patto 

[mightytiges]

Congrats Lids  . At only 22 he's on 300 game pace by the time he's 30 (touchwood no serious injuries).

Must sign him on long term contract soon.

3 years is long enough.

I would be happy with 5-7 year contracts for Deledio / Cotchin ..

I think we've learnt the hard way about 5 year contracts. In fact we've also learnt the hard way about 3 years deals for fringe players  . Most star players get 3 years at other clubs. It's long enough without the risk of the player copping a serious injury and the Club ending up paying a 5-7 year contract they get no return from.

Deledio almost dropped
By Matt Burgan Sun 26 July, 2009

REIGNING Jack Dyer Medallist Brett Deledio was about to be dropped, Richmond coach Jade Rawlings has revealed.

Rawlings said Deledio was told before round 14 that he was "going to wear a Coburg jumper".

"We put it pretty squarely to him before the Crows game up on the Gold Coast that he needed to lift in a couple of areas," Rawlings said after Sunday's win over Essendon.

"We'd come to a decision that he was just about out of the side. The leadership group were involved in the decision and the reality of him not playing was very real.

Deledio had 26 touches against the Bombers; 13 of them contested. 

"He's been able to address the areas – not just the contested possessions – of what we think will make him a better leader, a better player and help this footy club move forward," Rawlings said.

"It takes good character to be able to absorb that and do something about that.

"I've said to him post-match that he's a serious player now, because he's so much more rounded now and he's consistent and you can rely on him,.

"Yes, he'll pinch-hit forward at times, but he's a midfielder."

Well thats interesting and good news that they didn't coddle him because of his contract renewal.

Much better from Lids in the last few weeks and if Jade can keep influencing players performances like that I wouldnt object at all if he went through the process and got the coaching gig.
