Prestia could still reunite with former teammate Josh Caddy, who the Tigers are targeting from Geelong in exchange for Brett Deledio.

Caddy recently purchased a property in Geelong, but is open to a move to Richmond.

Caddy and Prestia have ­remained close friends since they were drafted to the Suns together in 2010.

Caddy was secured at No.7 and Prestia two picks later.

Take this as fact from a father in law of one of the players - after mad monday the only two lockers which were cleaned out were Vickerys and Deledios.

True. I was also told this a while ago.

Only at RFC could a player of Deledios ability have trouble finding a new club,if he's cleaned out his locker HTF can we be struggling to get
a trade done?
These morons have 12 months to get their poo together for the trade period and can't even get 1 stuffing trade done with out being bent over.
The incompetence of our recruiting team knows no bounds.
The possibility of physical and mental collapse is now very real. No sympathy for the Devil, keep that in mind. Buy the ticket, take the ride.

Exactly how have they been "bent over"?

No deal has been done and the club are standing firm on what they want and what they are prepared to give

Cats want Deledio and pick 27 for Caddy.

We are saying no,

If the cats want Deledio then they give us what we want in this case a straight swap player for player. If not then the cats don't get the player they want

So how is that being bent over exactly?

Deal cant be done and Lids stays and we move in

Club is handling this the right way (so far).

And yes i would take Caddy in a straight swap for Lids, he clearly has shown doesn't want to be there. So let him go. helps us in salary cap space too   ;D

Must have been tough to trade him out. I imagine the call went along the lines of:
H: Hi west coast, would you want our 5 time BnF winner AA premiership captain for peanuts?
W.C: .... *faint sound of someone jigging*....**clears throat**
Look that might be something we can do.

In fact that deal has been in the pipeline for 12 according to Mitchell on SEN.

Firstly the Deledio trade isn't the only trade of interest ATM WP.
Secondly we have a history of poor trading- 2 x 2nd round picks for a bloke who every other club steered clear of is our most recent FWIW.

Whether or not Caddy is what we want/wanted,this club has known for awhile that Deledio would be moved on but here we are still trying to work out a trade for a bloke who just bought a house in Geelong.
12 months our team has had to prepare for trade time and knowing for quite some time that Prestia wants to head our way but still can't make a trade of any sort to help get the Prestia/Deledio deals signed off.
I dare say that the ONLY reason we're going for Caddy is because of 2 very recent acquisitions in Balme /Caracella, if not for them we probably would've already done this trade and had Motlop on our list,another
that clubs will steer clear of.

Is it because richmind is such a tough club, that they can't negotiate Deledio with any other club ?

Little baby wants to go to Geelong so rfc does what the little baby wants. Lol
