This isn't on the net either but other clubs are sniffing according the Sunday Herald-Sun
Tigers wary as rival clubs circle Deledio

RICHMOND'S top priority, besides recruiting a new coach, is to sign star midfielder Brett Deledio.
But the Tigers will need to pounce on the 22-year-old with almost every other club asking about his status at Punt Road.
"Yeah, there probably is, (a lot of clubs wanting to poach him),'' Richmond list manager Craig Cameron said.
"He wants to stay at the club. He is our best and fairest winner from last year, and we know that Brett is a required player.
"I'm not going to go into it any further than that.''
The soon-to-be-out-of-contract Deledio is set to become the AFL's next millionaire, with figures bandied around as high as half a million dollars a season.
"Brett will get what he deserves. I've started negotiations with his manager and they're on-going. But we're not going to discuss them any further than that,'' Cameron said.
An interstate club said it would be pursuing Deledio at all costs.
"He would be a far better player in a better side,'' said the recruiter, who wished to remain anonymous.
"But he would come at a cost. Probably somewhere around half a million a season.''
Deledio's salary is believed to be in the $300,000 to $350,000 a season bracket.
Deledio's manager, Anthony McConville, said negotiations had begun with Richmond but declined to elaborate.

If we do not re-sign this bloke we then we are destined for failure for many years to come and will make it harder to get other players to the club. If he leaves the place must be in a mess..... bigger than we all thought.

And hello Scott Clayton ::). The only interstate club that would talk money and not mention the cost in terms of draft picks is the Gold Coast. First them targetting Foley and now Lids. I think Cuz has the appropriate response to this :yep.

So we have an article that says Deledio wants to stay, the CLub & his manager have started negotiations...
And surprise, surprise other clubs in particular interstate are interested in him....
What an earth shattering article it was by Mike's lad Tony ::)

Sooner the club finalises the contractual stuff the better off it will be in terms of supporter opinion.

This is one of those issues that the RFC must move on now, not drag this out until season end.
-
LOL, at him going to the GC, if he does it will only be for money.
He will probably be their top player (not that it will happen) and once again tagged to a standstill.

Lids Manager and Tony Sheahan are good friends. ummmmmmmm ;)
-
with pretty well all of our > 30s retiring we will have enormous scope in the salary cap ..I would have thought our 2008 B&F winner would be elevated in the pecking order from current standings

Lids Manager and Tony Sheahan are good friends. ummmmmmmm ;)
So what.. it is a nothing story Jack
4 weeks ago someone else from the Sunday HUN wrote (quoting Lids manager no less) that the kid wants to stay and he was talking to the Tigers.
Tony comes up with other clubs are interested in him ...gee what a surprise :o and then combines the 2 stories
And let's not forget that Tony hasn't had a great couple of weeks ... his name was up there on the HUN website with Robbo's on that fateful Tuesday morning ;D Come to think of it tony got off very lightly indeed >:( ;D
Ummmmmmmmmmmmmm I think Tony needs to do a bit better than that, actually a lot better
-
I thing that we should be signing him on as quick as we can.
Then the interstate teams as well as Melbourne teams will leave him alone.
And then he can get back to playing footy.
And not have to think about where he will be next year.
Time to hit the nail on the head no matter the cost. :gotigers
-
A few weeks ago everyone was saying that Riewoldt was going to the Gold Coast.
Sign Deledio up, have a big press conference and get rid of the speculation.
-
A caller to SEN tonight who is a Tigers man said he overheard at the game that we have resigned Lids to a new deal.
Another caller later on claimed GC17 want to make Lids their captain and will pay him $1m.
It's SEN talkback so make of it what you will.
