Brett Deledio [merged]

[WA Tiger]

Best player in our team by a long way. Is the best by foot and a great grab. We need another  21 of him in the team. Takes the best tag week in week out. Just needs to work on his one on one defensive game. If he had support around him to take the continuous pressure off his shoulders he would reach his potential. Right now he is a victim of a crap team where at 18 he was almost our best player upon being drafted. Sad.

He doesn't deserve the crap he receives by some on here. He, like Richo before him, doesn't deserve to shoulder the Tiger supporters frustration of the whole team. He is only one player and can only give us under 5% of a full teams effort. It has to be disheartening when you are continously let down by those around you.

Happy birthday Lids

Dead right, too few are left to shoulder the total work load for the team, making them look bad in the process because it's just not possible. Deledio is the main person that shoulders the work load but gets crap for it.

Good on you Lids hope you had a great day.

Good on you Lids hope you had a great day.

Hope he didn't read the posts on OER.

Have seen him kick some great goals and play well in the forward line eg a couple of years ago against Collingwood but have never seen him really dominate a game. Hopefully this year is the turning point

nope he will show his colors when he gets bided on in the next couple of years by a good side

with the amount of BS he cops from his own suppporters I wouldn't blame him

fair dinkum

[Carvels Ring]

I agree Tony.

As the old saying goes it's hard to soar like an eagle when you work with turkeys.

Typical also that some of our supporters attack our few decent footballers because they can't lift a side half full of duds and half full of kids  .

If you want to lay blame look off-field at those over the past 10 years who had no idea about recruiting, rebuilding and how the draft system works and didn't put a decent list together by now before and after around Lids and the handful of good young players we have.

2000: Only Newy left
2001: zip
2002: zip
2003: all picks below 50 gone
2005: zip
2007: just 3 picks and only 2 left
2008: just 2 kids picked up

guys like edwards have les than half of deledios ability, and they do stuff up heaps, but thats because they have a go and try, and r noty afraid to stuff uo

deledio is soft because he always plays "safe" never backs his skill and pace to take risks and take th egame on like judd and ablett
cos he is afraid to make a mistake so he plays safe

deledio needs to have the balls to take the game on, his fear of failure/making mistakes is his weakness

I have, just havn't seen him turn a game.

It was only against Melbourne, 2 years ago, but he was on fire in the second quarter. He kills them in the centre square.

thats the problem

we know he can do it

he just does not do it enough and i belive its due to lack of confidence in himself , his team and his fear of making a mistake
