Fell out of love with tigers = Hardwicks ridiculous game plan .

Most of us feel the same . We love the tigers but at the moment are not in love with the tigers.

Looks uglier and older LOL



Looks fine. I expect him to have a stronger 2017 than Hunt, Morris, Lambert ..

You forgot to mention his best mate Grigg....

Sadly it is probable that Lids will never get back to his best and injuries will cut short his career.

Offloading him for the picks we got will in time prove to be one of the best list management decisions done in ages

The 29-year-old’s preparation again hit a hurdle at his new home when the problem resurfaced in early February.

“The calf’s going well. I’ve made a fair bit of progress (but) it’s been very slow and steady,” Deledio told Fox Footy on Monday.

Called it a long time ago and agree it will be seen as a great list management decision. Saying that however, I don't think it'll go down as a bad one for the Giants as Deledio should be fit and firing by finals time, something we didn't need to consider :shh

Lids looks well and truly cooked and even if he pulls a rabbit out of the hat late in the season at GWS, I can't see him being there next year.

Which begs the question would he be worth talking a punt on as a free agent if he doesn't retire?

I am guessing that he might well not be interested in coming back to Richmond, but from a footy perspective, would you take a punt on him?

I wouldn't it's a waste of a list spot for 12 games at best and probably only 6 would be good as he'd take time to get up to speed.

Sounds painful for the rabbit....

Chuck was the first to call it on this website.

This being the case, lets put the matter to bed and focus on the topic.

I was actually first to call it (along with Dan Butler)
“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.

OER. Calling it as it is since 2004.
