An analysis of Richmond’s top five players across a broad range of key individual statistics for 2014, has underlined the brilliant second half of the season produced by dual Jack Dyer Medallist Brett Deledio.

Despite missing four games from Round 3-6, due to an Achilles injury, Deledio managed to feature prominently in more of the statistical categories than any other Richmond player.

Deledio figured in the top five of the 18 different categories examined 13 times, which is one more than the Tigers’ captain Trent Cotchin (12), with young gun Dustin Martin next (11).

Then followed Shane Edwards (10 top-five placings), Brandon Ellis (nine), Bachar Houli (eight), Jack Riewoldt (five) and Alex Rance (five).
