I think I'd rather M Murphy on my list than Deledio... Dont get me wrong I think Deledio is a great talent but I think there are 4-5 better young players in the AFL
Deledio's main strength is running fast in a straight line over 100m, something he does well when he receives the uncontested ball on the wing. However his footy smarts aren't that great, kicking skills a little ordinary, and doesn't like going in for the hotly contested ball, which is one of the reasons Terry wants to give him a run in the forward line, to avoid that close midfield attention which he dislikes. A good footballer, but really needs to improve on several "problem areas" if he is to take the next step, otherwise he'll become a David Clarke Mk2. :)

You've just described Walker ;)

Worst kicking skills from a player ever going to go top 10!
