Richmond star Brett Deledio has admitted that speculation surrounding potential player movements during the AFL’s upcoming free agency and trade periods is something which attracts his attention.

“I’m always interested,” Deledio said on Fox Footy’s ‘AFL 360’ program.

“Early on in my career, I probably wasn’t as much . . . you’re more worried about yourself, I think.  But now, I’m all about us winning and getting better.

“I’m constantly on the phone to (the Club’s General Manager of Football) Dan (Richardson) and to Blair Hartley (General Manager of Player Personnel and List Management), about finding out what’s going on. 

“But, as you can understand, they’ve got to play their cards pretty close to their chest and keep a lot of things under wraps. 

“So, I’m a bit like everyone else, I’m sort of in the dark and just waiting to hear what happens.”
