Brett Deledio [merged]

[crannyvegas]

He is a very good player, i don't think he is a leader or inspiror of men though.

I think of him as the Nicky Dal mold of a player, great disposal and ability to read the play, but you need a Lenny Hayes type extractor to go with him.

The judgement placed on our players is increadible. The greatest of players sometimes have the ability to win the game off their own boot.

We don't have a fwd line to speak of, or backline of any real depth or talent. You can't expect Lids to do everything.

[Infamy]

You're not watching him closely enough then. When the going gets really tough, he goes missing. Some blokes, like Hodge or Sewell or Mitchell actually enjoy the physical challenges, and lift when the game gets hard and tough. When has Deledio ever done that? I can't think of a time when he's done that.

Garbage, he's a lone hand in our midfield. Stop Lids and you stop Richmond. He was getting no help from Cotchin or Martin, who just played their own game and looked good doing it. We had no Jackson or Cousins in the midfield who know how to block for their team mates. When Lids got the ball (which was more than anyone in the side next to Martin) his speed and delivery was perfect.

Not to mention its only a NAB Cup game, to judge him for not trying to get himself killed when he's our most important player is laughable.

You really are focussing on the wrong player, Lids is not the problem.

[Francois Jackson]

Lids is one of our best players actually srap that he is our best player. He delivers the balls perfectly all the time.

I want him our captain, I cant see him as ours though, he is too timid. We need someone with balls not like the imposter Newman we have now

he won the hard ball enough times last game

he took marks running back into the flight

he kicked the ball 70 meters down the guts when other would have hand ball sideways

nothing wrong with Deledio. if was not in a team full of 19 year olds who cannot get a touch he'd be far better.

I'm sure we all saw the brilliant spoil he did from the Hawks cross kick in our Forward 50 (to Shoenmakers??) The amount of ground he flew across to make that spoil was incredible. Full stretch, took one in the ribs and kept on ticking...Nothing soft about that!!!

OK
I HAVE BEEN DELEDIOS BIGGEST CRITIC  AND BALMED HIM FOR MANY OF THESE ACTIONS
ASK DANOG!


however

how can ppl bag deledio after a nab cup game in which i saw great signs from him

remember he has never been an inside player and prob never will be, with guys like cotch martin and if foley comes good plus jacko and cuz deledio wont need to be an inside player

what i saw was deledio go in when it was his turn, he actually went in pretty hard on sat night and was poloshed with his skills
imo he should play hff with a license to roam and run

some of deledios tackling and defensive wk on sat was the best i have seen him do

he will have a great yr this yr and wont be gifted a jd medal lik ewallace gave him but will be a team player and go in when its his turn

deledio is not our problem


players like rance white hislop thomson that cant kick are our problem

He's a much tougher player than Dal Santo. I agree he isn't an extractor, nor should he be, but he still can go in and get it when its there to get. The last player we want at the bottom of every pack is Deledio

agree deledio is a fine player but have to disagree the 19 - 21 yr olds  are not the problem.

Brett Deledio Is A Soft Co*k!

when the pressure is on, he goes missing!

when the match is there to be won, he goes missing!

when the pressure is off, he is a star!

A bit like you huh, with your huge generalisations being made in february?!

Even if Brett was a flawless star, do you think we would have won that many more games? I grant you that in some circumstances a Hodge type could have got us over the line in some games, but we aren't talking the difference between finals and nineth at the moment are we? Why do people insist on being individualistic when it is so obiviously a team game. We had Richo for more than a decade and where did that get us? Premierships winners have a plethora of stars, never the one!

He has flaws, but from what i saw on Saturday night he is trying very hard to address them.

Well said TT!

He had a great spoil against Campbell Brown and came off 2nd best, was a good read of play and gutsy diving spoil throwing his body at Brown.

He's not a Lenny Hayes he's not a Sam Mitchell.

He wont be going in and handballing bals out like Shane Tuck, when has GAry Ablett got a hard ball get. You need a full round depth of talent in a football side if everyone was getting hardball gets out of the middle who is running and carrying?

You need midfield depth in order for the cream to truly rise. Look at the impact losing Judd and Cousins from the Eagles has had to Daniel Kerr's game.

I see Lids still needing to stand up when the game (and season) are in the balance.
But R1 of the NAB cup without mature bodies of the Cuz, Jacko and Foley are not the times of year I'm expecting a game tearing apart like performance.
