I'd like to see a list of Richmond players who have performed better than lids in his time, over the same length of time.

Doesn't mean much seeing as though we've absolutely butchered our recruiting and not bought a reasonable standard of talented players into the club.

WP, you have shown to me that you are nothing but a supporter,
If you think Cotch was given this job as captain over Lids purely because he got the captaincy because Cotch came along, he got it because Lids had know idea.
Even know to talk to Lids, it's laughable.. I have young guys in my business that are better qualified than Lids to lead people.

What exactly is it that I am supposed to show you? Am I supposed to prove something here? 

I would suggest that you re-read what I wrote but I will repeat it yet again.

You are focusing on one person not getting the captaincy over Cotchin. What I said and I will say again was that no other player other than Cotchin was ever going to get the captaincy. End of story.

I know this isn't going to be popular but I have to ask one question, why is Cotch captain and not Lids after years of him being at the club? 
Lids is a follower, end of story.

Has nothing to do with Lids being a "follower" which BTW I don't necessarily agree
Cotch was always going to be captain, always, end of that story.

WP, I know people that have grown up with Lids and he is so far off being a leader I can attest to it myself. And I'm talking best friends. If you think Lids was any chance of leading this club do you think he would have been awarded it by his teammates.
Cotch has been chosen as captain ilo Lids because Lids is a child.

I can only surmise you are taking the P.
Or else posting comments like this is a disgrace. Lids could have gone anywhere and probably done better in a more successful team. He was used as our link man in the back line for what 2 -3 years and he would have been far more effective in another position. His loyalty endurance and skill has been second to none at Richmond. We can't all be leaders and not all of us want to be.
You should really take a good long hard look at your self and not post comments like this about one of our better players.

Big Tone you obviously do not know lids at all ,some of the rubbish you spout is laughable, these so called mates you quote are achieving exactly what in life ,not that I believe you have heard anything from anybody with credibility. It sounds personal from you and nothing to do with the truth. I know the family well and like I said what you dribble is just laughable. A follower ha ha if you only knew.

There's no doubt Deledio is a fantastic player.

What is concerning is that he is only on light duties at the moment. I hope he's not impacted by a curbed pre season because he is a big key to our hopes in 2015.

What is wrong with him exactly anyone know?

"General soreness".

Maybe his achilles problem flared up again during training.....

Apologies people, a few to many drinks on Australia Day. 
Self imposed week ban for me.
Yes I am an idiot. And have a much deserved sore head today.
Apologies again for my dribble.

I remember reading some time ago that his achilles issue would require management long term, similar to Ivan's groin issue. I'm confident it's just a precautionary thing.

It takes a big man.....etc

You ain't Robinson Crusoe on that score, power to you

When it comes to the captaincy....

Not end of story at all. There has to be reasons why "Cotch was always going to be captain, always" and not Lids and there is no reason why it can't be questioned. I reckon it shows Lids doesn't really have the leadership qualities required. Hell they even had to bring in a new Vice Captain which IMO Lids is lucky they didn't drop him and make Maric the sole VC as they should have, again IMO
