Re: Cousins shows how over-rated Deledio is!
Think Brett is going to take over as the leader of the bludger pack after this year. Has been well trained by Campbell and Bowden about how to play within yourself, pick up the cheap stats and keep getting the big paycheck each week.

Re: Cousins shows how over-rated Deledio is!
The topic says it all....
In fact Cousins showed up the entire RFC tonight.
He is too good for that pathetic playing group!!
What an absolute disgrace after half time. All it proved was that that playing group couldnt give a stuff about the jumper, the coach, the administration or the supporters.
Absolutely guttered!!

Re: Cousins shows how over-rated Deledio is!
Aside from one kick which was a horrible clanger, Cousins was typically all class tonight. Handballs always go to the chest of a team mate so they dont have to bend down or stretch up! Always releases handballs after considering options. The manner in whic hhe evades tacklers and hold on before releasing also draws players towards him, creating space for the receiver.

it's easier to beat a tag when you're playing in a team with a good mid field sharing the ball around. In that regard, he's always been up against it at Richmond. Having said that, who the hell is it at Richmond that teaches our mid fielders (Deledio included) to stand at stoppages flat footed waiting for it to be hit down their throat.
All our mids can again watch Cousins as an example. As the ball is bounced, he moves. If the ball is not hit to his side, then big deal - you ain't going to get every clearance. If it is, then he's receiving on the run and breaking loose. If the ball i thit to a mid fielder standing flat footed, all you end up with is a tackle and second stoppage.
LASTLY - I HATE THE FACT THAT NO TEAM IN THIS COMPETITION HANDBALLS SO MUCH TO TEAM MATES STANDING WITH THEIR BACK TO OUR OWN GOAL! WHAT PURPOSE DOES IT SERVE?
We cant handle pressure as it is without this sort of hand ball which puts our selves under pressure. If i was the new coach i'd drag every players as soon as tey do it withou tgood reason. It would mean that they'd be rotating so fast through the bench that the satilite tracking the player's movement would spin out of control and probably land somewhere in Egypt, maybe even taking more off the nose of the sphinx (if thats possible), but we have to get out of our game - NOW!

Totally agree Far Canal.
Handballing was mentally instilled by our 'former' coach.

Re: Cousins shows how over-rated Deledio is!
its a very good post but lids must work harder to break the tag and the players like tuck, cogs and jackson need to do more in the stoppages to release him.
very amusing to think that an interchange rotation would cause a satelite to fall out of space and hit the sphinx :rofl

Re: Cousins shows how over-rated Deledio is!
The thing that gets me with these rediciulous comments is when Lids gets beat, he cant shake a tag and all the other bull *smile*, fact is LIds gets a tag 90% of games, and like last night he does get beat on occasions , but who dosent.

The mods have also edited a lot of posts for avoiding the swear filter. They are entitled to post their opinions about players. That's nothing to do with being a moderator.

If its the mod I am thinking of....well, lets just say he and I have had our disagreements with Lids in the past.

Re: Cousins shows how over-rated Deledio is!
See as his name is mentioned in the thread title, ill ask this here................could someone explain to me why Cousins played the fewest minutes of any player in a Richmond jumper last night ? I mean, at H/T the game was there to be won still, yet here's the guy we are paying a squillion, hardly seeing the playing field.
Is his fitness still suspect ?
Are we keeping him in Cottonwool for a run at the finals come 2015 ?
What exactly is the reason for this ?.....anyone ??

Re: Cousins shows how over-rated Deledio is!
play him one out in the square when he is getting a heavy tag?....give him the 50? Didnt help having a broken finger....should not have played. Dropped 2 marks early that he would have normally swallowed.

Re: Cousins shows how over-rated Deledio is!
Good point. It became laughable the amount of times we did handball to a stationery player with his back to the goal. This player then has to wheel around by which time the opposition are putting him under pressure and in turn we see another panic handball.
The other points being why do we bullet handball to someone 2 metres away? Why do we handball to their feet and why do we handball as the first option even if we don't have the awareness of where the handball recipient is heading and how "hot" they are? Why do we handball to someone hemmed in on the boundary line ensuring he has nowhere to go with the next disposal???
So many questions!

Re: Cousins shows how over-rated Deledio is!
Not excusing Deledio's game but...
That isn't quite accurate. Picken is a 22 year old hard bodied experienced VFL player, not a 18 year stick figure. He's beaten more than just Deledio this year.

Re: Cousins shows how over-rated Deledio is!
You cant compare someone like Cuz whos a Brownlow medalist and a Premiership player to Deledio who has been thrown everywhere to plug holes.
Deledio hasnt been allowed to develop and play where he should be played that is from the wing to forward line.
Deledio is a creative player and should not be played at half back.
