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

http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/teams/gws/brett-deledio-making-slow-progress-from-calf-injury-but-plans-to-play-round-1-for-gws/news-story/129c86869a3d6dcb884c92d68246ef2f

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

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.

Thanks Dooks

Actually, with all due respect to Chuck, I was the first.

Oh, and that is on topic :shh

I heard it from Moses' great grandfather. :shh

Actually it was a guy called Adam before he went apple picking!

Ps. Told me this and also said someone called God was taking him out for spare ribs. Said he'd love the surprise at the end of it!

Off the top of my head: Caddy, Coleman-Jones & Balta in?

Unfortunately for Lids, he is continually getting age related soft tissue injuries. His calves were an problem that had him missing the first 8-10 weeks of a season in his last two years with us.

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.

Caddy is an absolute star and is at the peak of his powers . Could kick 40 goals plus . We are all thinking ( but not saying) that Balta will be Rances replacement and CCJ could be anything .
Lids should get a statue.

Still got another year to go on his contract though.

Back to Richmond on the cheap?  ;D
