Toast Brett Deledio

[Bojangles17]

Am curious if coaching interests him , reckon he has tools to be a good development coach , get him to punt rd

 

[Daka]

Gee, he was a gun.

Sits only behind Martin and Rance as the best Richmond players of the last 10 years.

My best players of the last 10 years at Richmond is in this order Dustin, Rance, Riewoldt, Cotchin, Edwards, and Deledio is clear next best by a fair margin.

hate him on second thought

 

[dustysnecktattoo]

Too much hate on a good man! Tiger for life, he might even come out of retirement and come back to ya on below rookie wages, still racks up the numbers in a great side like gws in his retirement year, he’s not done, gut feeling

Calves are made of used tissue paper unfortunately

From carrying cotch and dusty for so long

 

[wart101]

he had so many tough acts today, to call him soft is a joke.

 

[Rimmer]

A shame about his calves and that they appear an insurmountable problem.

Might have made a nice rookie prospect for us in 2020...

So what's a star in your eyes then?!?

A player that consistently delivers in big matches, against top opposition. Lids was not this. He was a rung down.

Ahhhh so there are rung rated stars!

Posted in another thread, but thought it was worth dropping here as well.

WOW I didn't realise how much Brett was going through.
I really feel for the guy and hope it all get's better for him.

Maybe we should rookie list him and try to get his calf right.

 

[Schlurp]

He had made the record for fastest goal ever, not sure which match or if it’s been broken yet, but he did it in a tiger jumper

I watched it happen at the Canberra Hellenic Club in Woden with none other than Kevin Sheedy who was there to speak to the Canberra Tigers Supporters Group. Unfortunately no one had told Kevin nor me that the function was at the Club's other premises in Civic. I ended up driving Sheeds there and getting an autographed copy of his book for my eldest son. Very decent bloke is Kevin even allowing for the fact that he's an Essendon man at heart. And a mad keen racing fanatic.

Oh goodness.

No.

Media preparing a narrative just in case it's us v GWS in the GF.

If it's us v Collingwood then they can go with Treloar's "better list" comment.

And not once mentioned how he was happy for his mates and the club

 

[BF Tiger]

Some unfortunate stuff in his life not of his own making,and i feel for him there, but... he had a contract for '17 and he wanted out. Whatever he says about footy and the premiership was all of his own doing.

 

[Heisenberg_]

Given his 2 year old nephew was diagnosed with a terminal brain tumour the Tuesday of GF week I think he can be excused for not being in the best head space that week.
Maybe I’m just a bit soft though

Nah I love him. Wouldn’t have been many of us who felt like he shouldn’t go for success. He’d put everything into this club and none of us knew we were going anywhere fast. Always a tiger.

poor bugger had a perfect storm in 2017.

yes we've come out well ahead. But I pity Lids for the way the cards have fallen

 

[Punt Road Feral]

The personal stuff is absolutely dreadful and you could imagine how much of a mess anyone would be having that turn your life and perspectives upside down.


But on the injury front, it might sound cruel but I’m not that sympathetic to him. He had a good durable 10 years out of his body with minimal set backs with probably 3 frustrating years that followed.
I look at players like Cogs who could’ve been a club legend but his career was cut down far quicker than what happened to Lids.
