Deledio possibly one week from AFL return

Former Richmond champion Brett Deledio will be considered for AFL selection next week, if he comes through his second reserves game for Greater Western Sydney.

Recurring calf issues prevented Deledio from playing a game this season until last week when he tallied 17 touches in a half, prompting coach Leon Cameron to give him around 75 per cent of game time against Gold Coast on Saturday.

“If he gets through those four quarters tomorrow up at the Gold Coast, then there’s every chance we’ll heavily consider him the week after against Melbourne,” Cameron said on Friday.
