Re: Cousins shows how over-rated Deledio is!

Disappointing and unfair that Lids seems to be a bit of a whipping boy lately.
 
Re: Cousins shows how over-rated Deledio is!

Can all you people laying into Lids list the players his age that are better. you people just don't watch the whole game at all.

This is a first for me however I will stick up for Lids today.

IMO he was by far our best and most damaging player in the first half today.

What the hell was he put on Judd in the 2nd half - that killed his game.
I'm all for giving Lids tasks against dangerous mids - but why in the 2nd half today when he was our best player -

The positional change makes me think we are definately tanking big time - or it was a very very bad coaching move.

If he didn't go onto Judd he could have been our best today.

also - I do love Cousins gut running.

Well said and you clearly watched the game closely.

Re: Cousins shows how over-rated Deledio is!

Deledio ran both ways today, great move by Rawlings to put him head to head with Judd. Ran both ways, almost his best game for the year. Judd was on a rampage in the first half and was paying Jackson no repsect going the other way. It changed in the second half. Attacking players have had the most success on Judd all year so it made sense to go with Lids.

And Cousins, boy what a work rate. Second, third, fourth efforts. Outstanding. If the young players cannot learn from that they are a lost cause. Amazing effort. Should play another 4 years body allowing.
 
Re: Cousins shows how over-rated Deledio is!

Absolutely nothing wrong with Deledios game today.
Anyone that thinks Deledio didnt put in today was at the wrong game.

What excuses this week?????????

No TW

No broken hand

Nothing but brief sparks

Everyone keeps screaming to TANK - to lose games so we can get a priority pick!!!!!!

What - so we can get another 15 ineefective possessions per week - with the occasional 25 - albeit always in a losing team!!!!!

Never before have we fallen for such hype.

Ben Cousins is more valuable every week!

I will not bat an eyelid if we trade Deledio.

If we sign him on a big contract - I for one will not renew my membership!

He doesn't deserve my hard earned money!

Sir whatever U R on I'II have a kilo of it.

Played very well today. Some just have ridiculous expectations.

Today he was brilliant.

I have been critical of him in some games this year but the people going off about his performance today have got me baffled. :headscratch

Beat, sorry, smashed Gibbs, then went onto Judd and beat him. What more do some want?
 
Re: Cousins shows how over-rated Deledio is!

Judd's second half was terrible. Got less of the ball than Lids and turned the ball over. Judd usually uses the ball so well. Can't say that it was anything to do with Lids, but Lids thrashed him when he went on him.

Good signs. Needs to string together great halves and great games, but he is getting there. I am not concerned at this point. In 2 years time, if he is not tearing games apart on a semi regular basis, then I would agree that he didn't live up to the hype. Until then, he causes me no concern whatsoever.

? Judd had a great first half when Lids wasn't on him then had a poor second half when lids was shifted on him and you don't think it was anything to do with Lids? Not to mention the fact that he had a quiet 3rd quarter while suppressing Judd but then managed to break out again in the last quarter while Judd was still kept relatively quiet.

HERE! HERE! i'm really over all the negative types on this forum that say they follow the Tiges and then all they do is use them as a form of venting for nothing other to feel proud of themselves.

Some should just go and support a different team

A really good game today.

Matched Judd going head to head.

What more can you ask?

This is the critical thing for me today. Finally the coaching staff have realised, thow him the challenge and let him answer it like he did today. Was very good against both Gibb and even better against Judd.
 
Sir said:
Enough is enough!!!!!

Feels the need to write 'run hard' on his hand

and then does nothing of the sort!!!!!!!!!!!

Once again Cousins shows exactly how over-rated Deledio is!!!!!!!!

your dead right enough is enough, posters like u ive had enough with cause u have no idea, ill tell u how it went down today, listen and learn..

Lids starts on gibbs and has the better of him, jackson goes to judd gets towled up, judd has like 11 touches in the 1st qtr and heaps of clearances, 2nd qtr jackson continues on judd, judd now up to 15 touches, rawlings makes a change (half way through the 2nd qtr), puts lids on judd they go head to head for 2 and a half qtrs, lids keeps judd to 14 possessions and lids himself has 17, both had 29 possies for the match but deledio with 2 goals and 108 super coach points V judd no goals and 95 super coach points...

Sir if u gonna post think about it, ur credibilty is shot to pieces when u post rubbish like that, look who plays on who and what they do, lids beat judd when he went on him and beat gibbs for the one qtr they were on each other, rememeber Judd had 15 possies before lids went on him, judd he pantsed Jackson for 1.5 qrts....
