I would be shocked if he didnt retire at the end of this year

Still got another year to go on his contract though.

Back to Richmond on the cheap?  ;D

So he can play 6 games a season ?? . No thanks . He's cooked .

Only needs to play 1, champ.

I reckon they will reach some sort of settlement

Win for the Tigers

Reckon we dodge a bullet with his injury woes
I've probably already said this before in this thread, but I don't think we win the flag last year if Lids stays.

So BIG win for the Tigers. All minor victories are just an added bonus.

Said exactly the same thing in another thread last week

Was one of our best in 2013 and 2014 final and was ok in 2015 final. He’s bodies obviously cooked so not gonna judge him on last year. I know people are still bitter about him leaving and I was definitely booking along with the rest of the 95k crowd in the prelim but let’s not rewrite history. He was a very good player for us and his trade request ended up benefiting us greatly as mentioned above.

we won a flag when he left. How can anyone be bitter after winning a flag.

I hope he makes it back. Doesnt matter how hardened you are, that would have been a difficult decision leaving and then watching us win a flag was even worse.

So by that reckoning every single player was awful.

Yeah if you say so- can't be arsed explaining it for the umpteenth stuffing time, let alone reliving those three disasters yet again...

I don't recall Lids being good in either final or any final to date. His normal games are great but I think he gets nervous in finals.

I feel for the guy - he was very loyal for a long time, when he could have left for success or money.

Truth is it was probably in both his and the club's best interest that he left. Club got something for him (GWS paid too much lets be honest lmao) and he got what he thought was a shot at a flag.

Just ironic how things work out.

Apparently the guy is a real wanker but all the same I wish him the best and want to see him tearing it up on the field tbh.

I'd say 2016 pick 6 and 2017 second rounder for Prestia, Caddy and the pick that would be Graham was our best trade by a long way.

Especially if the former 2 help land Lynch  :shh :shh

But that's why we post on OER right? To hash these things out.  :gotigers
