Will we miss Deledio ????
« on: November 03, 2016, 01:10:32 PM »
11 years service during some pretty dark years ...will always be remembered as a tiger.

Last year 11 games 9 goals.  Body looks very proppy.

I know there's a stat about our winning record without Lids is poor -  Stats can be misleading. Richmonds winning percentage without Matthew Richardson was actually quite high .

Can anyone remember games where Lids actually tore the opposition apart. I struggle . Don't have that problem with Cotchin or Dusty.

There was that Adelaide game in 2013 where Sanderson didn't tag him .

Hawks in 2015? Didn't get a whole lot of ball but kicked 3-4 goals and was very dangerous. Agree with the sentiment though, he phased out of games way to easily

Big apologies and a massive oversight - Lids was terrific in that Hawks game .

Not his fault  - Cotchin drags him down....

try 12 years , I had a bet with a tiger mate about how long before this started.... got it pretty right.  Must feel good to pot a 2x All Aus...5 times nominated ...dualB&F ....Dual R/UP....Dual 3rd B&F.... rising star winner..... yep must feel really good....and you can do it anonymously as well ..how good is that!!!!

He's really important to the team structure because he is one of the few players which is actually quick and is capable of kicking goals beyond the 50m arc. The fact he can rotate through the midfield makes him a real asset. I will miss him

I figure Caddy will play his role and if he plays 22 games then we're ahead. If he plays 11 we lose because lids is probably better than Caddy.

Don't think he was taking pot shots more commenting as he seen it and asking everyone's opinion

We will 100% not miss him.

Bloke hardly played all year. Was good for a dash and 50m shot now and then but that's about it. His proper midfield days are beyond him.

Twilight indeed. Hopefully GWS get the best out of him but RFC has already got everything they ever were.
