Apparently

4 of te best 20 players go to gws via  french riviera zoning afl bastard rules

A pick 10 for lids is not really pick 10

Like how rioli was not really a pick 12 after all the funny. Buggers

[Diocletian]

Look on the bright side Bents...if Deledio leaves, we can finally get rid of Grigg....

[Raoul Duke]

What has he done to deserve to go through his career without ever winning a final, let alone a premiership?

Players that don't win a premiership dont deserve to be 1 club players?
After having  coaches the ilk of Hardwick,Wallace and even Rawlings  its a bloody miracle he isn't rocking back and forth in the fetal position.

[Yeahright]

Exactly why he should be traded if he wants to.

If Lids wants to go then good luck to him. Cant recall anything suggesting that he wants to leave though.
Some players are capable of playing well past the age of 30 so trying to move him on(if he wants to stay)would not be sending a good message to the group.
stuff off all the squibs & Pea hearts that are on the list & that will send the right message to the group.

Trade talk a joke for Tiger Lids

Herald-Sun
12 May 2016

RICHMOND star Brett Deledio has admitted he has “toyed with” the idea of leaving Punt Rd, but is adamant he is staying a Tiger.

Deledio, who is contracted until the end of next year, joked that he has used talk of his value on the trade table for the club as fodder with teammates.

And while he conceded it has crossed his mind, the thoughts are fleeting.

“I can’t (see myself leaving Richmond),” Deledio told RSN.

“You do toy with the idea, maybe in the off-season when things haven’t gone so well, but it’s not something that I have ever really genuinely thought about.

“I’m a very happy Richmond player and very happy building the team that we’ve got going at the moment. We’ve got some work ahead of us.”

Richmond plays Sydney at the MCG on Saturday night with the hope of breaking its six-game losing streak, with Deledio saying personnel troubles have had a lot to do with the club’s problems.

'Lids' not keen to be Tiger trade bait

AFL.com.au
12 May 2016

RICHMOND vice-captain Brett Deledio is hopeful the club does not consider him trade bait at the end of this season if it chooses to target more prime draft picks.

Deledio is contracted to the end of next season but there have been suggestions the club should trade him to bring in a first-round draft pick before he becomes a free agent at the end of 2017.

AFL.com.au has reported the Tigers are understood to have no intention of trading Deledio, or their other 2017 free agent, Dustin Martin.

"I just hope it's not Richmond supporters or Richmond recruiting staff or the coaching staff that want to get rid of me," Deledio told RSN927 on Thursday.

"I'm happy if it is [the media] that are calling for my head, but I'm very happy as a Richmond player and very happy building the team we've got going at the moment.

"I'm contracted until the end of next year, so I'm staying put for now."

When asked if he could see himself leaving the Tigers, Deledio said: "I can't. You do toy with the idea at times, maybe in the off-season when things haven't gone so well, but it's not something I have ever really genuinely thought about."

He said players at Richmond would discuss free agency at times, but "very much in jest".

"It's all a bit of fun really," he said.

"When we have a really bad meeting or something, [someone will say], 'It doesn't matter boys I'm out of here anyway. I'm going to the Doggies, apparently'."   

Richmond's 1-6 start to the season to the season has not shaken Deledio's faith in the group, two weeks after he declared the Tigers had a list capable of winning a premiership. 

He said the return of captain Trent Cotchin and All Australian defender Alex Rance for Saturday night's clash against the Sydney Swans should help the team turn the corner.   

"It's a different story when you've got your best team on the park, you're not waiting for kids who haven't played a lot of footy to do a job that they're probably not ready to do," he said.   

"Whether that is because of injury, stupidity or form, we just haven't all played together.

"We're getting back towards that this week, and we'll hopefully see a couple more return in the coming weeks that gets us back to our best 22."

As a massive servant of the club, if Lids doesn't want to be traded then I think the club should respect that. The guy is a jet and if the club fixes its recruiting/footy/fitness department this guy will play more games than Boomer Harvey

Just got to love the mediocrity crew

Mediocrity is giving away your best asset

Meanwhile, a quarter of the list are list blockers

Doesn't matter what the club does, they can't trade him if he doesn't want to anyway

Give away one of your best assets to upgrade on 2-3 of those list blockers

Your not going to be able to upgrade  on quality by changing spuds for gold no matter how many you package together
