Well CH7 has just goven 800k reasons why he may npt be going anywhere

They are reporting Lids contract for 2017 is $800k

And geelong has no cap space 

FWIW I'm only disappointed that for the last 6 weeks Lids has said he wants to be a 1 club player, didnt want to go anywhere and now he's open to moving

Flip, flop

Whatever

It was 3 mill over 5 years when he signed in 2012. Would make sense if they back-ended it (like most contracts are these days).

[YellowandBlackBlood]

I actually think they front ended the contract so Lids is on something like 5-600K now. That is why they were keen to off load Motlop because it would free almost the exact amount up for Lids.

[tony_montana]

If they front loaded Lid's contract he'd be on less than 5-600k now, especially when you look back when he signed we were in the doldrums and probably paying our A graders front loaded contracts to give us space 2-4 years down the track when we'd theoretically be challenging. At least thats what any smart club would do, who knows with us..

If they paid him 900K the first year 800K the second and 700K the third he'd been on 600K now and 500K next year. That makes 3.5 million which is what I believe his total contract was worth. Maybe I'm wrong but then we are all guessing.

Pretty confident it was 3 mill over 5 YBB.

Oh well if it was 3 you could take 100K off each.

[Yeahright]

Joooosus

Running joke that he had no time for fans nor did he ever volunteer,to do anything that didn't have an earn in it for himself.

I'm not one to approach players during their personal time but I did bump into him once waiting in line so I knew he had nothing better to do and he seemed happy enough to have a short yarn. Definitely no Tuck who from my experience actively seeks people to talk to but pleasant enough. I guess people just expect them to drop everything and talk to you. Do you stop and talk to all the sales people in the middle of shopping centres?

Steven Wells on SEN:

Lids approached Geelong late in the season

It will be a difficult trade to get done due to salary cap

Richmond have informed Geelong of the players they would like but Geelong don't want to part with them

That's all I got.

[WilliamPowell]

From SEN Breakfast twitter account

Wells says Geelong received an approach from the management of Deledio and Tuohy late in the season about playing at the Cats

Heard the interview too

Wells was asked if they approached Deledio or did Deledio approach them

Wells said they were contacted by Deledio via his management late in season (seems someones been telling porkies)

Said Tigers given then a list of what they want and they want alot, said will be difficult from their end to get it done,. Have told Deledio and his manager unlikely to get done. Salry cap space their biggest issue. They haven't got room

He also said for it to get done will likely need 3rd parties involved.

Was asked about Motlop, said RFC made it clear they dont want him.  Was asked if theyd been much interest in Motlop from other clubs as that could be a way of getting deal done (with 3rd party) . Wells saod no and they had been surprised by that

Cats have meetings planned with a numberof 3rd parties planned for today to try and get both deals over the line

Thats all  i remember for now

Keep playing hard ball Tiges
