Early life/career Deledio attended Kyabram High School and Caulfield Grammar School.[1] During his youth, he was both a promising cricket and football player. David Hookes, then the coach of the Victorian Bushrangers, invited Deledio to join the state team, but he declined this offer to concentrate on any future AFL career. Whilst many may not know this, Brett was actually enrolled to attend Caulfield Grammar School which is the same school that hosted the likes of Chris Judd and Andrew Walker. Unfortunately after only a handful of days at the school it is believed that Terry Wallace pulled him out due to the pressurised season which was ahead of him in 2005. Brett Deledio went on to study with a tutor and won the Rising Star award for the best young star of 2005. Caulfield Grammar School is a coeducational Anglican independent school in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. ...

2006 Deledio played 21 out of 22 matches in 2006, again a consistent performer, missing one game with an injured knee. Being a young upcoming player he had some struggles with constant tagging from opposition players to take him out of the game He is a fantastic player who hasn't peaked to his full potential and there are great hopes for him in the future. He was ranked the 4th best kicker in the AFL after players such as Lindsay Gilbee and Chris Judd. Towards the very end of the year he moved in with team mate Mark Coughlan. He went to the brownlow put didn't pick up many votes.
2007 Brett is showing his skill and knowledge of the game starting with a few very good matches.
