Richmond Stars???
Hellopplz once again. Long time between posts I know but think it’s time to let people know that playing for a poor side doesn’t always mean your a bad supercoacher. These two guys have been proven premiums over a number of years but seem to be left in the dark this year. Chris Newman and Brett Deledio are the guys I’m trying to get across.
Chris Newman has been a proven and consistent premium over past few years. Without Bowden though, many thought he would struggle with a relatively new backline to work with. Those people were right to an extent, but don’t expect Newman to take it lying down. After a very dismal round 1 and a week’s rest has scored back to back 100’s past 2 games. At a price of $485k, looking pretty juicy for those willing to back him to get back to his best. Except for round 1, Newman has averaged a respectable 21 disposals mopping up down back for the tigers. With a poor Richmond side, can expect the ball to be down there alot. Newman is their go-to-man down back and will get a fair few possessions and we all know he can kick.
Brett Deledio should be considered one of the young gun midfielders of the competition along with Pendlebury, Gibbs and Selwood. Anybody would be licking their lips if they had any of the 4 in their team (which will be a little piece in the weeks to come). Somehow Deledio has been placed a step below the other 3. Why? Probably because he will cop the main tag every week. Apart from the 56 in round 2 (against the young Picken) hasn’t scored below 80 any other time. Even though he has only cracked the 100 only twice so far, he also started last year off slowly. We all know how that turned out. Is usually a good kick but didn’t show it on the weekend against the cats (80 sc points from 34 possessions). When left untagged, he is very damaging. Don’t think many will consider trading him in but at least keep him on your watchlist. A youngster who is durable and doubt he will stay below 500k for much longer ($486k before round 7).
