Deledio.

Not a good player to have in the mids lately. Tempting to turn him into M Murphy or can he turn it around?

[Bully]

Too sideways, Lids will turn it around, Crowley took the points but don't let that turn you off. He also won't get injured, that is critical at this time of year.

How would trading him to Murphy be a good solution? I would only trade him if it was going to be to someone like griffin or Barlow etc

[Jesty]

I think Murph will power on and have as good AVG as Barlow from here on in. Plus frees up some cash for other upgrades.

Risky yes.

[enzedder]

I'm in agreement with Quinny. If you are going to trade him then do it for one of: GAJ, Pendles, Swan, Griffen or someone of that calibre...maybe Beams who will hopefully be cheaper next week.
I reckon you should keep Lids.

[fever]

well any coach that doesnt lay a hard tag on him from the outset of every game from here on should be sacked. he just cannot cope with it, but is so damaging when you dont.

i have him and when danger comes back he will be my M9.

Just to dispel a few myths about the taggers, Deledio does get tagged every match, it just depends on the calibre of the tagger. There have also been occasions where his usually excellent disposal has been well below par, this has been the main reason for his form slump. For example, against St Kilda and the Dogs he still gathered 24 & 25 touches but was spraying them everywhere - totally un-Deledio like.

My advice is to hold, he should rediscover that touch he's shown for nearly a decade, I'm tipping a 110 average for the remainder of the season.

[Samm79]

I have him too, has been disappointing the past month, but I cannot see a reason why he won't start to bang out some good scores. Has good recent form against his next 3 opponents, hold all day.

This week they have Sydney. They haven't been hard tagging of late, I would expect 120ish.

With a last 5 round AVG of 83 I hope you guys are right or it could be no finals for me  :(  Cheers

Seems my week long decision between Deledio and Cotchin about 5 weeks ago went the wrong way!!
(although not by much 8))

[Jesty]

Hmm, after both scores last week and watching the game they were my exact thoughts too. Cotch had a blinder.
