Deledio going to waste

[souts]

Why?

He never played midfield as an elite junior.

Were you under the impression he was an onballer?

Deledio played as a ruck rover thru almost all him junior years

Lids barely played ruck rover during the TAC cup. He played forward/wing.

Ling held Kerr extremely well today.

Little wonder Lids had such a tough time of it last week.

Seems Ugly is getting his form back.

agreed

puts it into perspective

Just watching on the TV, it is amazing what Ling gets away with. I saw 3 stoppages where he was either holding Kerr or front on shepparding him from the contest.....one time with his arms outstretched.

The powers that be want the primemovers to be getting access, keeping the game flowing, they make a rule saying they will be coming down on these hack taggers creating stoppages, then let it go all the time.

Then you have Murphy from the Blues just getting pounded every week. Last year, who was it when we played the Cats tagged Lids? Whoever it was, I remember he totally lined up Lids and smashed him front on at a stoppage, sending him off with multiple injuries. We don't have the hard at it seniors to protect Lids at the moment. He needs some protection for another year. Of course he needs to be out there getting experience, but I read another post where he is wasted on the HBF. Tell me Mcleod is being wasted??

dude, where did Mcleod make his name? You are comparing a player who is being preserved in a position that he is most dangerous at this point in his career to a kid who is looking up and aspiring to be just like or better than that player. You have your gun youngsters on the ball and when they are not youngsters but guns, you put them where experience is needed.

are you saying Mcleod couldn't dominate a game as an onballer?...because the game has changed 'dude', in case you haven't noticed. HBF's now can have just as big an impact on games as onballers! And even if you don't buy that, Lids is at the other end of his career, and yes my point exactly, he can continue learning the game from there. If he has as much of an impact on games as Mcleod week in week out, I think we can call it a 'good' year!
