Brett Deledio

[WCE Ebert #18]

Was snooping around and noticed a thread on the Carlton board that there is a rumour he wants out of Richmond at years end with 4 clubs keen to pursue him, West Coast being one. Take a look (page 3 is where HBF (bigfooty moderator) states the clubs that are after him):

What do you guy's think? May be a good addition to help free up Kerr and have a dominant midfield once again.
Personally i would love to get him but he will come at a cost.
The PP would be looking better now than ever !

 

[Mattman93]

Would probably rather stay at Richmond than leave Victoria. Most Victorian kids are like that unfortunately.

 

[zero]

not surprising that he wants out really. anyone who wants to play finals probably shouldnt commit to playing for richmond their whole career.

 

[tesseract]

I'm not that interested in Deledio. Maybe he doesn't live up to his hype because he's on a shit team. ATM he's overrated IMO.
He'd cost more than I'd care to give.

 

[bunsen burner]

I'd give up pick 20-ish for him - as in our second round pick. But he is worth more than that. There's no way i'd give up a top 5 for him.

 

[bodazoka]

Id give up our second and third round picks, which is around #18/19 and 37/38. Or mabye pick #18/19 and a player?? like Spangher, he is a young KP backman they might be interested...

I think his value is around that of Daniel Kerrs to be honest, possibly a little less than Kerr on previous form.

I wouldnt ever give up our PP or first rounder this draft...

 

[Ted38]

Deledio for Kerr the perfect scenario, we'd be that far in front it would be laughable. Regretably it's unlikely to happen.

 

[Marlin01]

I'd certainly give up a second round pick for Deledio. I'd throw in some Staker knives as well.

 

[Brave Sir Robin]

Great, starting early this year are we?

Actually, round 12, I guess not.

 

[bodazoka]

Actually... Ben McKinley and pick #19 would be a decent prospect for them to have a look at??

Especially considering how well they have done out of the Morton trade, who was a similar type of player. McKinley has IMO more talent than Morton though.

 

[Crimson King]

PSD!












Just joking Gunnar.

Riewoldt, Morton, McKinley? Seems all a bit samey to me, doubt they'd want Benny Mac.

 

[bodazoka]

Considering he is out of contract, whats the chances that Morton is even going to want to play for our club anyway?

 

[lewigie]

Lol wut.

I don't think so mate. Sure Kerr is having a rough trot ATM, but which player doesn't go through that at some stage.
Deledio is not in Kerr's Class. I'd rather have picks for Kerr than take Deledio.

This has to be the most biased thing I've ever seen, what a stupid statement. Deledio is 22, Kerr is 26. When Kerr has Cousins/Judd he looked like a superstar but as soon as he copped the number #1 tag he has looked very poor all year such as last week when Jackson dominated him. The guys on The Coach were right, Kerr has to focus on breaking the tag instead of cracking the sads because he's being targeted. At least Deledio has been able to break free many times this year for several BOG's. As far as I'm concerned Deledio is a much younger, more skilled midfielder who is in Kerr's class or even higher.

He's been having a rough/non productive/lack of discipline team damaging trot for quite awhile. Picks or Deledio I'd be happy with either.

 

[jako27]

i'd give up our first pick without doubt, but it'd be pointless to involve kerr as he needs the support, but, no doubt it won't happen as we are boring, predictable, and the narrow-minded and insular coaching staff are scared of change and have too much blind-faith in certain players ie: re-signing hansen, seaby.

we shouldn't keep everyone based on being good blokes that woosh likes or has achieved some glory with, grow some ****en bollocks west coast.

 

[Darkness Falls]

Jackson dominating Kerr? I think not.

 

[Barnzy]

Jackson dominating Kerr? I think not.

What do you mean, I think not? It happened last week.

 

[gx122]

No way on earth Deledio is as good as Kerr. I wouldn't give a top 5 pick for him.. 2nd + 3rd round + Spangher would be it

 

[lewigie]

Kerr dominated himself.

Has there been a tagger this year that hasn't beaten Kerr?

 

[tesseract]

It's easy for Deledio to be the best player in a team that has no game. Kerr doesn't even have his head in the right space ATM. He'll come out and fire in due time. He's already proved himself as a gun.
Barnzy, your the one being biased if you think Deledio is better than Kerr. Stay off the crack mate.
Deledio is overrated, big time!

 

[Hap Hapablap]

id go for it. a midfielder with some games under the belt. joining us would remove a certain amount of burden from kerr. the youngsters still got another year or so before theyll fire so it wouldnt be a bad idea after all.

 

[Barnzy]

No they have all beaten him, he is yet to prove he can handle a tag being the number #1 target. He is a good player but he has a bad attitude that allows his opponents to get under his skin very easily.

"It's easy for Deledio to be the best player in a team that has no game" What the hell does that mean? Don't forget we have been a better team than you for the last 2 years. Deledio is not overrated, you obviously don't see too much of him in Perth. He has all attributes to be a superstar. He gets tagged every week and is only 22. For the past two seasons he has outperformed a Judd/Cousinless Kerr. So going off my calculations he is a better player than Kerr at the moment.
