Opinion Who's Richmond's best player?

[EagleOz]

Deledio for me

Has always been my number 1 from the moment we drafted him.

and honestly he must have some of the best hands in the comp! its always one grab. very rarely gets beaten

Has to be Rance. No other player on our list has so much effect on the game singlehandedly.

 

[Nerflardio2424]

Rance /reiwoldt are > any other players in our side this season

Over a body of the last 10 years. Brett Deledio.

 

[JAKLAUGHING]

Over a body of the last 20 years. Richoooo

Wonder how long he could've played on for if i weren't for the hammy

Good question.
All are important in every way. Its between Rance, Jack, Cotchin and Martin. Im going to say Lids only for the reason we dont seem to win without him. People are starting to underestimate his output because hes not getting 30 possessions a game anymore.

Our win loss record without him is insipid.

Bump!

I think when people review this thread many will change their minds and start picking Deledio.

So silky. I think I picked him in the All Australian squad 6 weeks ago ahead of Pendles at half forward on the main forum and I got laughed at.
Wish I could some how find that thread again.

It's nice that we can have a debate like this at tigerland.

Previous polls would have consisted of.

1) Deledio
2) Brett D
3) Lids

If you differentiate between best and most important, then I agree, Brett Deledio is just about the best pure footballer going around, best pair of hands in the AFL, elite speed and endurance, tougher than many give him credit for, damaging on both sides of his body, can play back, mid and forward to great effect and has developed as a leader.
Should be top ten in these wanky lists but will struggle to make top 50!

Hopefully with a couple of top 4 finishes the rest of the AFL world will start taking notice.

We still have a chance to win games without Cotch or Jack, but without Lids or Rance we are cooked..! So my pick Rance & Lids

 

[jokershoppe]

rance has all others bar jack are in a huge pack of quality mids and whos best here is debateable but no one would have rance outside leaques top 3 defenders and his ability to impact contests from great distances and his atacking style puts him in a rare category of defender, superb one on one, and a match winning attacking defender.
