* To be picked up [in the AFL draft] has been a dream my whole life and for it to happen and for it to be a good result like Richmond, I’m really pleased.

* Definitely like to follow Cotch around and Deledio – both midfielders – and learn some things off them which will help my game.

* 2015 goals - I want to play a few senior games at least next year.  But for that to happen, I’ve got to be training well and learning the structures and everything.

Fumble the ball, pick it up and kick to an opposition player under pressure, c'mon, should pick up that team structure in no time

[big tone]

lids numbers are not too far behind  pendelberry and swan at all.

averaged more disposals than swan in 2014 with more 30 plus games as well as anther 3 of 29

Swan had a pretty quite year due to injury. His previous 5 seasons are a better indication. How do those number stack up? Not only that, Lids goes missing in most big games.  Swan and Pendleburry are proven big game players.
IMO lids isn't a genuine mid, plays better across half back or half forward. Don't get me wrong, Lids has been good for the RFC but he is not in that elite midfield bracket.

i think a lot of supporters feel lids has never reached the heights he could, but he is a very good player. a classy player.

career wise he is only 3 or so possessions per game behind swan. both are down on penelbury though.

i think his inability to shake a tag and big game performance is overplayed. he had 29 touches in the port adelaide final debacle, for example.

Came good after the horse had bolted and Port took the foot off....dropped his bundle like everyone else when they jumped us and were running riot.

If you don't think Brett Deledio has been a boom pick and an absolute gun for the RFC then please walk away from this club forever.

No one has said that but what was said is that he is not an elite midfielder

[The Big Richo]

Elite player, not an elite midfielder, agreed.

Carry on.

Fantastic vid. They should show that on tv.

Corey's dad is great. Fits in at Tigerland already with him saying "As long as Corey doesn't get drafted by Collingwood"  .

Jack Riewoldt cops a lot of crap but there's no doubt he loves our club - "You're coming to a bloody good football club"  .

That was awesome to watch.
Seems like a real down to earth family. Hope he kills it for his family and for the RFC.
