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

[The Machine]

Don't believe Stevo at all. Let's wait and see.

[Hard Roar Tiger]

I wouldn't blame him or the club. We do, however, need a first rounder as compensation for him Geelong.
Meow.

[big tone]

Mark Stevens on Ch7 news reported that Deledio is now more likely to leave Richmond for a fresh start

All roads point to Geelong

Well unless they can con another club into giving them a first rounder for Motlop, their first pick is 35 and they won't giving up Guthrie or Blicavs so I can't see what we'd get from them that would be worth it....Motlop himself certainly isn't and Kerstan would be more like salt in the would than a sweetener.....next year's first & Cockatoo perhaps?

If true, I don't like it all....

Straight swap for Cockatoo would be a steel IMO.

If trading Deledio means we keep either Ellis B, Edwards or both then its a bad deal no ,matter who or what we get

And if Deledio does go i can think of few blokes I'd take over Motlop.

I think we should trade Edwards, but keep Ellis.

Cam Gunthrie or Cockatoo would be good.

You would keep B Ellis?
Now that would be a natural disaster! 😬

lol :p

yes I would.

Regardless of how poor he has been this year, it doesn't take away the promise he showed in previous years, especially in 2013.  I still believe he will become a star..He just lacks confidence and composure.

The game plan didn't suit him either....  I do not see the club keeping the current one next year at all since I don't believe they are that stupid, I think we will play fast and direct next year which will suit someone like Bellis.

[JP Tiger]

We might be trading Lids, but to Geelong to who don't have a pick until 35?  No way!  Geelong traded out their 2017 first rounder for Danger, so if its a player swap then they need to give up something pretty good, since that's what they're getting!  Keep Motplop cos we want quality, equal to what we are giving.  Cockatoo, Caddy or Guthrie would be more like it ...

The current game plan actually is suited to him. He is a scab.

[peggles]

or could it be that it's a 3 way trade of
Deledio to Geelong
Motlop to GC
Prestia to Richmond

with perhaps some shuffling of late picks

as a way of us keeping pick 6.

no source, just a thought

Geelong have little to offer us as reasonable compensation.

They won't win a premiership in the next few years.

Would break my heart if he goes to the cats and we get a C grader and pick 35 in return - which means it will surely happen.

[Diocletian]

If we have indeed put him on the table you'd think more than just one club would be putting their hand up between now & trade week.

[one-eyed]

Barrett last night still going on about Lids and Motlop being involved in a trade.

They also showed a clip with Lids smiling as he said him, Rance, Jack, Cotch and Dusty have all been mentioned in the media as trade targets. He then said that you don't get rid of your best players otherwise you wouldn't think it'd be a good place to be around next year.

[Stalin]

Trade rioli too

[Harry]

Trading deledio is the right move by the club.  His body is letting him down and doesn't have much good football left
