Who is this Brett Delidio bloke, must be a bloody Dud whoever he is. Surely so many people can't be wrong

ahh yeah Gus goes alright the young lad and 99.99% of people agree, sure like those odds...

Ahhh, pretty sure you started the cheapshots by saying I wasn't 'eloquent'.
I'm happy to agree to disagree without resorting to the above, but you might want to re-read your own posts before blaming me for starting cheapshots.
AstuteTiger said:
Mate, did I ever say Cooney was the best player? No.
But Cooney is definitely an appropriate benchmark, and one that Deledio falls short by comparison.
AstuteTiger said:
Correct, he won the NAB Rising Star and I was ecstatic with his efforts in his first, even second and third years. But he does not put the consistent 100% effort required to be a superstar in this league.
And yes, he won a Richmond B&F but that's hardly an acheivement these days.

Agree completely. This is my major gripe. Our guys don't run hard enough off the ball and therefore don't work hard enough for each other.

I agree - maybe you should direct that post at AstuteTiger who said that my post was 'hardly eloquent'.
Apologies for the multiple posts - just trying to respond to everything!
Don't get me wrong guys, I don't think Deledio is a dud, nor am I saying he won't improve or can't be a champion. What I am saying is that he has a fair way to go effort wise before he'll become an elite of the game. And that is a title that he is more than capable of achieving.

That's why I'm comparing this years Deledio to last years Cooney. Or even the Cooney of 07.
thejinx said:
Put Cooney in the Richmond side and he suddenly looks less impressive. Vice versa for Deledio.
At barely 22, Deledio has been the fourth most experienced player in the side for the past month. He's carrying a fair burden.

I won't post stats - I honestly post without trying to provoke , am just posting my opinion of what I feel and see. I am due to our ongoing debate trying to look closer at Lids game. I am just saying what I see.
Our opinions do differ thats for sure - last week in the GC - you gave Lids votes over Tambling - I honestly couldn't even think to, and I'm sure a lot would agree that Tambling was by a fair distance the better player last week.I've said it before - a little has to do that i expect more from lids than most of our list.
And IMO Tambling so far may just get that best and fairest like Lids did last year if he can continue the level of the last 6-8 weeks.

serious are u a baby, Sir said in his post u explained it eloquently...
I simply replied LMFAO, jinxster explaining it more eloquently, that is a joke eh?
So its alright for you to down disco08' with "Eloquently is more suited to someone like Disco8" ??? Cmon
But not alright for me, figures...and what is read my own posts before blaming you, i blame no one for anything i simply said you had a go about my grammer and i said it was a cheap shot, how sad is that...
thejinx said:
says who! you? fair dinkum if u think winning the B&F at 21 isnt an achievment then lets just leave this debate here, cause ur digging urself deeper and deeper.
U2Tigers said:
well providing stats counters ur posts with "im just posting an opinion", its facts u said he has been inconsistent i reply with facts that counters what u say, its all there to see.....On my votes last week well i mentioned that both had 31 possies last week V the crows and i did say it was a toss up, lids had the 3rd most votes last week behind bling and nanas on PRE, so ineffect i was right that he was in the top 3 and its not a matter whether i gave him, 3, 2 or 1 most gave him votes but u didnt last week so what am i supposed to say about that, majority inc you gave him votes yesterday some didnt even give him votes extrodinary to think that no one gave him votes, dont u think?, so id like to see your posts regarding these posters who didnt give him votes, name em.
If bling won the B&F on his continued form mate id be rapt for him, but hey perhaps u should also give lids his due credit on winning it last year.

I wasn't downing Disco08 at all... I was referring to your grammar - yes, silly I know, and I shouldn't have stooped to your level. But I certainly wasn't having a dig at Disco08.
And yes, I don't rate the Richmond B&F at all. It awards the best of an average lot.
Who came second in last years B&F? Tuck. Although a solid performer, he's certainly not an 'elite'.
There are a few other average names on the Jack Dyer Medal roll - Kane Johnson, Darren Gaspar, Andrew Kellaway, Nick Daffy... They were all solid - and played their roles well, but they weren't world beaters, so as I said, winning the Richmond B&F isn't all that special - other than winning a medal with Jack Dyer's name on it.
Disco08 said:
No worries mate - as I mentioned above, I definitely wasn't having a dig at you. No hard feelings
