Deledio Vs Griffen

[chef]

Pace = even
Marking = Deledio
Evasiveness = Griffen
Kicking = Griffen
Defence = Griffen
Hair = Deledio
Skin = Deledio
Ego = Deledio

Looks like Deledio just wins

Lids is a well grounded young man, hard to get a big ego growing up in Ky.

Griffen for me only because he has preformed in finals, until Lids does that he can't really be judged.

 

[Tiger Fury #3]

First season won the Rising star.
Second season about even (imo Deledio slightly ahead), Deledio averaging 18.8 disposals with 5 goals playing mainly across half back, Griffen 17.1 disposals 7 goals also across half back
2007 Deledio 18.4 disposals 21 goals Griffen 14.3 disposals and 2 goals in 10 games
2008 Deledio 24.5 goals 28 goals shorlisted for AA B&F winner, Griffen 19.9 disposals 18 goals

2007 Griffen hurt a knee then had a twisted bowel.
2008 Griffen had more than just footy going on(dad was sick)

2009 this is the year to compare.

 

[ctrain07]

And after 2 good games this season Griffen has? Lets not forget that Deledio has outperformed Griffen in every single season they have played so far.

LMAO of course he has, in 2007 Griffen did his knee and had a twisted bowell and last year tore sydney a new 1 in a crunch final (DELEDIO IN BIG GAMES has done nothing). THis year with the death of his father playing on his mind has still come up with a best on ground and a good solid game against Freo, Deledio did nothing against the blues and had a good game against the cats, I smell inconsistancy. 105.1 yesterday labled Griffen as a future Brownlow medalist and as far as Im concerned Deledio will be nothing more that a good player.

 

[THEHIGHFLYINGHAWKER]

haha this is pretty heated. at the end of the day i'd still take franklin over both of them.

Thats one way to shut up both sets of supporters.

No need for that.

Please move along

 

[celtic_pride]

Deledio has clearly outperformed Griffen to date.
Griffen will have to step up to be on the same level.

Do you ever vote in a poll against a Richmond player ???

Most smart footy pundits know Griffen is the better player then Deledio ..

 

[Strawbs]

Are all you Richmond supporters this delusional??
You seriously have to be kidding me if you think Deledio has more class and finese than Griffen.
Im not knocking Deledio, I actually think they are quite closely matched....but that is such a ridiculous statement.

Deledio is a beautiful kick and is all class. Same for Griffin.

Griffen is an elite midfielder and has class and ability to match. Griffen is going to be one of the best midfielders in the comp in my opinion whilst Delidio still hasnt taken the next step in his career, but maybe thats just because he plays in a side that isnt going any where any time soon.

But only one of them has a B&F on the CV.

At this stage Deledio is getting more out of his potential then Griff. Griff dominates parts of games, he needs to take the next step and start ripping up matches over four quarters. He can be so much better then he is

True.

LMAO of course he has, in 2007 Griffen did his knee and had a twisted bowell and last year tore sydney a new 1 in a crunch final (DELEDIO IN BIG GAMES has done nothing).

Evidence???
TripleMMM? Wow, that really seals the deal.

You don't have to perform in finals to be judged. People seem to rate Bob Skilton pretty highly.

 

[Reptilia]

But he plays in a shit team.

 

[Rack Watts]

Griffen is my favourite non Essendon player. I think he will win B and F for the bulldogs this year it's his break out year, It's a real pity about his Dad

 

[TimeFor11]

I cant believe the figures here. Lids has done far more and has far more to offer. Griffen loves to have periods of the game he does nothing. The showdown is coming this week Lids will tear the prick a new one.

such anger and frustration.

And how do you know?? Just because he plays for your team, suddenly he has way more to offer. Give me a break. You know you Richmond supporters are way too sensitive. Noone is saying Deledio is a shit player. He is fantastic and will be a great player for your club for many years to come. Some people just think Griffen is better, and vice versa. What more has Deledio done on the field than Griffen? Your logic is bias and flawed on so many levels. Maybe you should look past the black and yellow for 2 minutes and see the players for what they are. Deledio is more consistent than Griffen, but Griffen is more dangerous when the ball is in his hands.

You mean BF only, everywhere else in the media etc Deledio is rated higher, and rightly so considering he has had the better career to date and is almost a year younger

 

[Furious D]

He has been more consistent and won a B&F but it doesnt mean he is rated higher. Age is irrelevant they were drafted in the same year.

 

[Ando_4]

Funny thread. Deledio easy.

Griffin's good but Deledio is Richmond's best player.
He's as an exciting talent as there is in the AFL.

Note his third quarter against the Cats, we kicked 8 goals to nix.

Put him into the Bulldogs outfit and he'd be winning this poll by a landslide.

Forget Griffen he's small fry, by the end of this season it will be Lids vs Cooney.

I think its quite obvious that age IS relevant. The amount of maturity a player can get out of even a year is sometimes amazing.
umm well normally if a player is consistently playing good footy and has won a B&F he is rated ahead of a player that shows flashes of brilliance
how stupid...

 

[Mofra]

Griffin's good but Deledio is Richmond's best player.

Richo might just shade Delideo

In any case, Richmond's best player would struggle to be in the top five of any of the top 4 sides

 

[RedWhite&Blue]

We've got to be careful when talking to Tiger fans about Delidio..... very, very sensitive.
Apart from that new kid with blonde hair Delidio is all they've got.
Can't blame them for sticking up for him.

And the fact that Lids is your best player and Griffen not in the dogs top 3 shows why dogs are unbeaten and tigers are yet to win

Griffen would be in our top 3 players IMO

 

[Sedat!]

2007 Deledio 18.4 disposals 21 goals Griffen 14.3 disposals and 2 goals in 10 games
2008 Deledio 24.5 goals 28 goals shorlisted for AA B&F winner, Griffen 19.9 disposals 18 goals

If we're going to resort to quoting raw stats verbatim to prove or disprove an argument, then Priddis must the best player in the competition. Honestly some people have no idea about measuring a player's genuine impact on a game of football. Deledio had more of the ball in Round 1 than Griffen did - I know whose game has the most impact on the result.

I'm looking forward to seeing how Deledio handles the white-hot internsity of finals football. Griffen has already passed that particular test with flying colours, being his team's best player in 3 out of 5 finals he's played in.

Lids would need to play 4 qrts to achieve that and not "give up".

On potential yes, on performance, no

Wrong, On performance, yes.
On potential, could be anything.
