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

[Tigeritis™©®]

Best trade we ever did by a long long way......

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 

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

What about October 1993, when Tiger captain, Jeff Hogg, went to Fitzroy in exchange for three Lion players – Paul Broderick, Michael Gale and Matthew Dundas.

don't forget the football net also went in that trade.

Prestia was part of this trade wasn't he?
If yes, ironic, both are injured with a similar calf prob.?
I hope Prestias injury is sorted out soon.

If that had won us a premiership, then yes, but it didn't, so I say no.

Not directly no. But both moved in the same trade period.

That wasn't really a trade, more like a mugging.

Lids has announced he's retiring at the end of this season.

---------------------------

“I’m really proud of what I’ve been able to achieve in my career,” Deledio told the Giants' website.

“I’d like to thank the players and staff both past and present at the Richmond footy club, which was my home for over a decade.

“I’m so proud to have played 243 games in the yellow and black and to have achieved two best and fairests and two All Australians there.

“I played my best footy as a Tiger but I’m so grateful for the opportunity the Giants presented me at the end of 2016.

“It’s no secret I needed a fresh start and to be able to do that at a new club like the Giants has been unbelievable for me.

“I would have loved to have played a lot more footy in the orange guernsey but it wasn’t to be and it taught me the influence I can have on the group without being out on the field.

“I’d like to thank everyone at the GIANTS, particularly the medical staff, for their support over this period.

“The past few years have been really tough, both on and off the field. But it showed me that football isn’t everything and I’m really looking forward to the next chapter of my life with my family.”

He was always one of my favourite tigers. He stuffed me off so badly when he said he didn’t watch the GF but a part of me really appreciates giving the fans some hope when the divide between our stars and our bottom 6 was wider than the Nullarbor

I feel like if we had got Balme and Caracalla in 2013 he would have benefitted greatly from the surge style football we currently play


Edit: you beat me to it with posting the link!

Geez 270+ games. Can you imagine what he could have got to if his body didn’t quit on him in the past 4 years.

[Andyy]

Thanks Brett.

Used to be one of my faves in your early-mid years. The move to GWS may have come a year too late but it was probably good for the club.

All the best!

[Diocletian]

If you divide 270 by the number of quarters he went missing, it's actually only about 90 matches..

Unlike the other “leaders” at Richmond, he wasn’t able to redeem his poor performance in the 2013 elimination final loss against the 9th placed Cheats which is our worst loss ever in my opinion (I still hear about it  ).
That one loss had undone all the great games I watched him play since he was drafted
Should’ve played better that game and never allowed us to lose to them, someone other than Judd had to stand up and unfortunately for Deledio and us  it wasn’t him. Bad luck and good retirement where he can count all his money he got at GWS for rehabbing in the gym. 

[Rampsation]

He served us well for a long time. He deserves better than for our supporters to be rubbishing him or his contribution to our club.

I hope they don't work out father son with your formula!
