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

Get Bomber and Pelchen.

I'd still Trade Lids and possible Edwards and Cotch and look to get a big war chest of first round picks. Back Pelchan and his team to get the picks right at a better rate than FJ.

Pelchen has rated Lids as a trade in the 18-25 bracket and Prestia in the 8-15 bracket on SEN today.
Both of which make sense.

Yeah I heard Pelchen in that interview. I pretty much agree with him regarding Prestia, Lids and what he was saying about o'meara and Vickery but feel we could get more for lids if the right buyer comes along - Lids would suit someone like GWS down to the ground and I think we could therefore get a deal more beneficial for us. They traded Boyd for griffen at the same age (29) and Griff had a history of back problems - reckon Lids is a better player too. Yes Boyd forced their hand a bit but still think we could and should expect more (unless his achilles really is stuffed)

Yeah I heard Pelchen in that interview. I pretty much agree with him regarding Prestia, Lids and what he was saying about o'meara and Vickery but feel we could get more for lids if the right buyer comes along - someone like GWS would be very eager and I think we could get a deal more beneficial for us. They traded Boyd for griffen at the same age (29) and Griff had a history of back problems - reckon Lids is a better player too

Considering they have 2 first rounders plus their academy kids GWS can really afford to pay overs for Lids. I mean, I know its wishful thinking but look at what they've got out of Stevie J (and IMO Lids is as good if not better than him).

GWS offered pick 4 for Stevie J a couple years ago. Could we get the same for Deledio?

[pmac21]

GWS don't need Lids know that is the problem

Care to elaborate? You know they're not interested?

Pelchen saying Lids is only worth a late first round pick.

--------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile at Punt Road, the Tigers horror on-field performances have led to calls to trade some senior players, chief among them Brett Deledio.

Deledio, the No.1 pick in 2004, is now 29 and has been battling Achilles and calf injuries for the past two years but is a proven performer and would fit a premiership contender.

Pelchen said the classy midfielder was still worthy of a late first-round selection.

“He’s been an outstanding player and he’s still got good football left in him but the calf injury that has bothered him recently is a pesky injury,” he said.

“He is still of value to a club that is about to compete at the top end of the ladder or is already there.

“I’d say he’s more a player to get around 18 to 25 in a trade sense.”

I would trade lids for a top 10 pick . Pick 10-15 would definitely have to involve the adding of some steak knives.

But a pick 18-25 is just plain insulting. No sale.

Given that he can hardly get on the park I'd be worried that he won't attract a pick that high.

He'll be lucky to play more than 35 games in the next two years.

Ironic that people bag Prestia as a option for having a meniscus tear in his knee and only playing 11 games this year when Lids has played the same amount.

Would consider a straight swap personally...

McConville also manages star flanker Brett Deledio and said the 29-year-old was desperate to stay at Richmond.

“At this point in time we all know (Deledio) is contracted and wants to stay, so we will leave Brett to have those discussions with them.”
