Deledio Vs Murphy

[lids2004roar]

The better man DID win

And with a career high 27 possies in the midfield last week I'd say he's only just started

So he's already failed as a forward?

That lasted.

nah just proves he great everywhere as was hird

Could Deledio's development have been handled any worse? lol. On the rare occasion the Tiges don't stuff up a draft pick, their atrocious player development practises extinguish any residual hope. lol.

atrocious player development

Josh Kennedy board.

 

[Lynch takes a mark]

Murphy is (will) be a workhorse inside/link man - good 22 weeks a year similar to Sam Mitchell (not as inside) Scott West, Daniel Cross. Lacks pace and routine penetration in his kicks but makes up for it in running power, decision making and positioning around the ground.

FWIW I think that Masten shares 90% of that profile except he is much more natural inside a pack, Murphy changed his game style once he hit AFL level to be more effective and should be commended on it.

Deledio however is a totally outside utility of rare quality - 6'3, well built, great penetration in his kicks, lightning pace either on the lead, on the wing or from half back to run and carry the football and can play just about any position. His strength will be his veratiity but this won't be evident until Richmonds inside mids get stonger and become senior playerss.

He is a finisher in a team full of finishers which means he is near on useless when the inside mids are losing and he isn't getting clean ball outside which makes him look bad.

Put him in a team like Hawks, West Coast or Geelong who already have first class inside players and you would see a very different Deledio.

Lids is a game breaker, Murphy is a high quality workhorse

If we didn't already have Kerr/Masten/Ebert/Priddis/Butler who play a similar role (some better, some not as well) then I would be all over Murphy

Murphy would be an ok player if he had Bartel, Corey and Selwood next to him, Lids would be a superstar.

Andrew walker ....... not even in the top 20 of 2003 draft
and carlton picked him at #2 unbelievable couldnt get any worse

Andrew walker ....

He's progressing nicely actually. Already the best of the 2003 draft. A future superstar. Watch.

Walker better than Cooney?

 

[Beloved]

nah just proves he great everywhere as was hird

If you are comparing Deledio to Hird, you are laughable.

9 minutes?

You actually managed to find 9 minutes of highlights for a Carlton player?

Never mind the actual club, how did you find 9 minutes of highlights for an individual Blues player?

Our poorly developed youngsters beat your mob in Round 1

Didn't Floodmond play 5, 30 year old and older players in that game? lol.

Do you really want a list of the young players that gave your mob a bath in Round 1?

Cooney shits all over walker.

 

[THE_GUN]

i think walker would be lucky to be an afl footballer once his contract expires, might get a game at the bullants. really not upto afl levell
i think its about time carlton cut their losses with this guy,
1 good game in 5 years.......... good to see you back parrot, so tell me again who were the real winners in rnd1 ,rnd2,rnd3 oh yes carlton

the claytons team when your winning without really winning

 

[Jeremias]

i think its about time carlton cut their losses with this guy,
1 good game in 5 years..........

Sounds a bit like Tambling...except with Richie "pulled a heart string" Tambo its 0 good games....in 4 years...

 

[W. Smithers]

He's progressing nicely actually. Already the best Carlton pick of the 2003 draft.

It's amazing how much talent Carlton has, but they're yet to win a game. lol.

 

[parrot]

It's amazing how much talent Carlton has...

At least we made a laughing stock of the Dons no-talent midfield. That was funny.

 

[Astro_]

At least we made a laughing stock of the Dons no-talent midfield. That was funny.

And you still lost.

You can have all the talent in the world, however nothing overrides hard work & desire. AFL players arent robots- try playing with a bit of heart and maybe you will get a win.

At least we made a laughing stock of the Dons no-talent midfield. That was funny.

And yet they still won!
