Deledio off to GWS in exchange for future first & third round picks [confirmed]

[Go Richo 12]

But the Tigers wanted another draft pick to on trade to the Gold Coast
Draft pick is extremely important to us

I'd rather Caddy than a pick. Our draft selections have been a mixed success at the very best.

[Stalin]

Do not want. Overall he has been average at best, failed too often to stand up in pressure games and that is after what 6 or 7 seasons.
He has been disappointiung to watch and when you dig deeper he has been disappointing statistically as well.
Personally id rather keep Deledio and i am one who has thought Brett is an ideal one to trade out.

Yeah but some people wanted him four years ago ..

[Harry]

Caddy?  Meh

FMD I can't believe this.

He has played six seasons and is statistically getting better every season, the last two he has averaged 20 odd disposals, 4 tackles and kicked approx 20 goals each season, and this is despite having to play second fiddle to Selwood and Dangerfield.

Deledio on the other hand is breaking down every year and this year was the worst and even when he did play he could barely kick the ball until his last few games and then he broke down again.  He has limited time left and the time to get value for him was probably last year but if we hold onto any longer his value will drop remarkably.

Our drafting for pure mids has been the second worst thing behind our ruck drafting (or lack of it), after Cotch, Martin and Lids were performing well in 2012 RFC clearly thought our midfield was done and started drafting part time mids who played elsewhere eg Vlastuin, Ellis, Lennon, Conca.

We are crying out for big bodied mids who can tackle and can push forward to kick goals and what do we hear, ah no lets keep an ageing broken down player until he has no value.

Welcome to mediocrity for another 35 years with that attitude. 

I for one am glad the RFC is finally trying to correct some of the wrongs in the last three years but hey I understand some prefer the RFC to perform badly just so they can run their whingeing whining agenda all day long.

Just thinking outside the square here,

But Bartell and Caddy for Lids?

Wow! Please post your opinion more often 

[Francois Jackson]

actually 16 goals in 2015 and 15 the year before. This year 21. Shane Edwards numbers

That being said i think we have to deal as our recruiters are hopeless and Caracella may be able to move him to another level.

Caracella has been a coach of his at Geelong

Why would he suddenly be the master stroke

Agree. I'm all for Lids / Caddy swap.
Add Prestia and Caddy to our midfield and it looks a lot less fragile.
They're both the right age group too, so if we do need to bottom out for a couple of years they will still be around at the other end of it.

[Willy]

Sounds like the Cats are not going to part with a Caddy.

Well Bartell does come from a culture of one of the most successful clubs in the modern era. Might bring something to the club that we have so sorely been missing the last 35 years.

Caddy and a 3rd rounder might be the offer. But 3rd rounder is unlikely to do much. So why not Bartell? Again, just throwing up ideas.

Can we get Boomer Harvey and Sam Mitchell as well

Argh Chuck I thought you'd turned over a new leaf after you last post.

Out with the old, in with the nucleus.

Prefer the predictable one liners.

BTW Caddy is average.  One paced with limited skill.  Rather keep Miles.
