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

[Stalin]

We'd lose that deal ...

[Dougeytherichmondfan]

Why does Rance want out? Where did this come from? Is this after he divulged his love for the club in the aftermath of the Sydney win or before?

[Francois Jackson]

Mark Stevens tonight on Ch 7 said if Deledio was put on the trade table then GWS has said they would go after Lids very hard.

No mention of what they would offer in return though.

poo, what did they offer Geelong for Stevie J a few years back, I think it was two top ten picks from memory. Tempting...

would deal with gws. I mean lets face it who cares if they win a few flags, as we have watched what is it 3 clubs win 10 in the last 2 decades so let the good times roll.

[Francois Jackson]

Brad Hardie this morning also said Rance wants out and and GWS are heavily into Deledio.
Was it Barrett who also reported Rance wanted out and Deledio was being courted. Now Mark Stevens reporting similar.

barrett said rance wants out? Fair dinkum when??

[big tone]

Get what we can for Lids and run.
He is nearly 30 and his body is starting to signs of letting him down.
He showed against Port that when the game was to be won he was nowhere to be seen...again!
At best he is a flanker now.
If we can get a top 5 pick or a couple of first round picks for this flanker we should, maybe we could draft a decent midfielder which we desperately need. One that doesn't go to water when someone pays tight on him.
It's time for this club to make a tough decision on a good player that could potentially get us two good, 10 years players.

Wow!! you idiot , you zero football knowledge idiot.

Bit harsh!
2x idiots in the one sentence. 

[big tone]

He got 15 odd touches in the 'premership' third quarter when the game was very much still alive if the Club were not a right bunch of moron-plodders.

It's not that easy to play forward pocket in a crap team with three people on you when the instruction is to kick the ball to the wing / pocket in idiot coaching predictable manner

Game was over at half time.
Why is it do you think we don't play him onball anymore consistently?

AFL trade, Brett Deledio, Richmond Tigers

Sarah Olle

BRETT Deledio has rebuked suggestions he could be trade bait come season’s end, despite conceding the team “comes first”.

After the Tigers’ capitulation to Port Adelaide last weekend, Hawthorn legend Jason Dunstall suggested no one at Richmond was safe from the trade table.

Dunstall said it was imperative the Tigers traded whichever player could get them the right deal, regardless of whether they were the captain or a first-year player.

If Richmond was to rebuild and look to the draft, Deledio, 29, could be on the chopping block. The No. 1 draft pick has currency and could help the Tigers attain a first-round draft pick.

But he told Fox Footy’s AFL Tonight that he wouldn’t be putting his hand up for a trade.

“I haven’t been told directly that I’m not on the trade table, but when a club is in a position that we are then questions are going to be asked,” Deledio said on Wednesday.

“I’d like to think that I’d be welcomed back next year and the year after. The club always comes first and they have the decision to make, but as I said I’m contracted for next year so I won’t be putting up my hand to go anywhere.”

Deledio said he was disappointed at how the discussion regarding Richmond’s list had been played out in the media, saying he was confident in coach Damien Hardwick’s plan for the club.

“I wouldn’t want to be staying there myself if I didn’t believe (the club was heading in the right direction),” he said.

“We’re confident that what we’re building is working for us. It hasn’t been a great year for us this year, but we’re invested in what Dimma’s doing with us. We’ll be better for this bad patch of form this year.”

The 241-game veteran said the team had the high-end talent to rewire and again lead the club to finals in 2017. He singled out the top echelon of talent as the players capable of steering that change.

“I certainly don’t think we need to throw everyone out and completely rebuild,” Deledio said.

“I think we’ve got some good talent there. We’ve certainly shown we’ve got some high class players, like (Dustin Martin), Trent (Cotchin), Jack (Riewoldt) and (Alex Rance). We’ve got to try and build some younger guys around them and bring in some other talent as well.

“I don’t agree with Jason that we need to put everyone up because you could end up at the bottom of the ladder for a long period of time.”

In particular, Deledio was strident when it came to the question of trading the dual All-Australian full back in Alex Rance. To him, “Rancey” was untouchable.

“I’d be pretty disappointed if it was Rancey,” he said.

“I’d be disappointed if it was any of my close mates at the club or anyone for that matter. Rancey has been one of the shining lights this year, along with Dusty. He continues to battle his backside off, week in, week out with full four quarter performances.”

The players are the only ones that seem confident in Dimma's game plan. Or at least they say they are?? The rest of us that watch it each week disagree. And the fact that we are 12th on the ladder and probably/hopefully heading south tells a different storey. Wake up FFS.
