I'll be happier knowing he has re-signed with us.

[Infamy]

I'll be happier knowing he has re-signed with us.

He's still got 18 months left and we are already looking at the extension
If it was up at the end of this year then you'd have a point, but it's not

If Lids is smart he'll hold out until the new salary cap is finalised

Why is it not a valid point?  I know it's 18 months and I know that GWS have already approached his management.  All I said was I'll be happy knowing he has re-signed, not when, not for how much, not anything except I'll be happy when he re-signs.  Sheesh.

[Infamy]

They aren't allowed to approach a player during the season, only in the window around trade time last year
So if they enquired it was 6 months ago

I look at it this way. This is a scare mongering article by Mike's boy Tony. Pathetic article to be truthful

Facts are GWS tried last year to get Lids. They approached his management then. Does the article actually say they've "enquired" more recently? Nope

Lids ignored them then and signed a new contract that ties him to us until the end of 2012.

He has 18 months to go on his current deal and there isn't a doubt in my mind that Brett Deledio will remain at and stay loyal to the Richmond Football Club.

He can see we are heading in the right direction, he wants to play finals, he is a leader of our Club and bloody good one BTW, he is a Tiger and GWS are living in "la-la" land if they think he will going anywhere. May I even be as bold as to say we (the fans) just need to have some faith 

I will repeat pathetic article by the HUN, scare mongering...

[10 FLAGS]

Deledios been with us since November 2004 when we drafted him. He's seeing us go from being poo to being a real football club again under Hardwicks leadership. Theres no way IMHO that at 24 yo he will leave to do another 5 years of hard labor. He's come to far with us to leave now.

[Dubstep Dookie]

Lids is the alpha of all alpha males on the list, he's also socially central to all players and cliques.

He loves the club more than any other player. He won't be going anywhere.

[Hellenic Tiger]

Hahaha if we had lost yesterday like many expected us too would this piece of gutter journalism have graced our breakfast table this morning? Think not, don't pay attention and the insolent child will soon stop.
That being said I expect a Caro debt article or a Barrett the problems that still exist at RFC article in the lead up to our hugely significant match for both sides this week that some may hope distracts us. Call me cynical.

No, your on the money. The life blood of the media is "controversy", if they can't find it they will attempt to manufacture it themselves at the expense of any individual or entity.

[Eat_em_Alive]

And it will be manufactued this week for sure, this clash against the doggies is even more important than last week imo.

I hate to upset anybody on my first post here, but Lid's contract to the end of 2012 doesn't protect us from GWS.

Under GWS's draft concessions, they are allowed access to up to 16 uncontracted players over 2 consecutive seasons, 2011 and 2012.

That means that if they don't take 16 uncontracted players at the end of this season, players like Lids, who come out of contract in October 2012 are a legal target.

Players need to be signed up into 2013 to be off limits.

Firstly welcome RT

I am not disputing that under the concessions GWS a player like Lids may be a target but I just reckon:

1/ the article was just scare mongering. It gave nothing concrete with regard to facts, was it based on present events, past events or just the writers assumptions. I think the fact that the club is not commenting is the best part of the whole thing because IMHO it means they ar enot in a panic

2/ Now we are on the upward curve I cannot see Lids leaving, actually forget about the upward curve I just cannot see him leaving

That'll change
