now mr pope know it all! judd, kerr, ablett get "tagged " week in wek out. deledio has the ability to beat his opponents just like judd and co do.
Kerr has struggled big time since Judd & Cousins left. You know why? Because that midfield worked for one another, they blocked the oppositions taggers to allow their team mate to get into space. Our midfield doesn't do that for Lids. Kerr was also rarely tagged before as the focus was on Judd & Cousins, his effectiveness now as the #1 midfielder has massively dropped off.

Judd & Ablett still have midfields that work to get them into space, Ablett in particular. Judd also has 2 #1 draft picks to play along side in Murphy & Gibbs who are not exactly crap plus Nick Stevens is another senior big bodied mid who can add protection to the ball carrier.

Tagging is also very different to simply having an opponent, clearly you are a pretty simple minded person though to not understand that.

kerr is struggling not because he is being tagged, but because he is getting bashed left right and centre and more so when not even near the ball.  kerr takes more hits in one game than deledio has had in his entire career thus far.
deledio would probably quit if he got bashed as mush as kerr does


popelord, u r easlily pleased

You mean he's getting tagged?
Or do you just mean he's got an opponent?

Plus another No1 in Kruezer who is having a very good year this year and needs attention as well, much more mobile and quicker than the bigger bodied rucks and needs to be watched as well.

It certainly helps when the quality is all around you.

So, let me get this straight
You admit Kerr is struggling
You say he's struggling because he's getting targeted by the opposition
But this targeting is just part of having an opponent?
So Kerr should just work harder to beat his opponent?

'only if Deledio had a harder work rate ethic' - Richmond would be a better team.

i am not a Deledio fan. Simpily because he can go 'soft' and 'missing'.

However, against Sydney i thought he was our better players in the second half.

when we needed somebody to set up, Deledio and others did, and i was impressed.

i only pray that he can play constant midfield and use that beautiful pace and long right foot kick!

believe what u want, i know what i said , i can sleep at night

im glad you are happy with deledios efforts this yr, im sure deledio is very happy he has had an armchair ride in his career so far,  i think that show, australias most fos athlete got to his head

targeting and bashing players way off the ball is not having an opponent, and kerr works his arse off, we have all seen that, but how can you compare kerr being bashed illegally way off the ball , to deledio having an opponent play close to him
kerr isnt struggling due to being tagged, he is struggling cos he is getting bashed from pillar to post way off the ball

you guys just dont get it, and you are worse than talking to a brick wall.
i have never said i hate deledio, i want him to be a champion for us. what i have said and i maintain this, i believe he does not work hard enough and with th eamount of talent he has he should be tearing the game apart. i believe if this standard he is playing at continues he should be dropped in order for him to work harder and fulfill his potential

it is not my problem that you guys cannot 1/ see this and 2/ understand this

its simple , its in english

want it simpler, deledio is wasting his talent, he can do more

Sorry, but you are over using a bit of artistic license here, if he was getting such rough treatment then his opponent would be getting called up the tribunal for rough conduct on the video review. He's getting no more than other midfielders like Joel Selwood who got kneed in the face and the culprit got rubbed out accordingly. Kerr is getting tagged, plain and simple.

lol, how can you even compare lids been watched and played tight to kerr being bashed off the ball

 :banghead :banghead

taylor just got off on a report that he should have gone for  for his hit on setanta, b4 the year is up, someone will get done for doing this on kerr and get done, but to intimidate deledio all you have to do is stand next to him and snarl
