Fellas, he's been in the system for 10 years so its unlikely to change dramatically.
We need to set him up to win - if he gets tagged, put him somewhere on the ground where he can hurt his tagger - ie Full Forward. He's a good height and a great one on one mark.
I'd take 16 possies and 3 or 4 goals.
He has also done a good job tagging in the past - why not put him on a Swallow or a Ziebell or a Boomer?
The coach needs to plan B for rotations through the midfield when Lids goes missing as an offensive midfielder.
Agreed he has been in the system 10 odd years and some how I don't think he will ever turn this around. There's no chance he is going to start being more aggressive now. He is what he is- and that is someone who plays well against poo teams and is pathetic against anyone good.
And moving him to FF or across half back or wherever plays into the hands of the opposition just as much as anything else. He is like others have stated a downhill skier.
Now I know he just signed a 5 year deal but I would trade him for pick 1 this year. I know it sounds drastic after a bad lose but it's not just one game it's his whole career. Yesterday he should have stood up and dragged his teammates up but instead he got completely dominated by a virtual known kid.
We play this guy 500K a year to beat up on weaklings. And it's for the next five years.
It's now 3.5 years but I digress. This post is too funny thinking he only beats up on weaklings. You obviously don't think he has played good footy in the last 18 months let alone throughout his career but please don't backtrack when you read this I can only laugh this hard once a day. 
That's brilliant. Obviously we can't go forward with blokes who don't perform against "anyone good". So I think we have a solution boys......Delist Deledio!!! Or trade him to Port Adelaide for Matt Thomas.

While we are at it bring back Adam Thompson too given his ratio for clearances to time spent on the ground is in the top echelon of players in the AFL.

It's 4.5 years but I digress. Might be worth checking before contradicting people, it only make you look stupid!
Not sure how you get I don't think he has played well over the last 18 months, he has played well, but most of the time it's been against the bottom half of the ladder teams.
I like Lids but the reality is he doesn't 'stand up' enough against the better sides. He consistently gets beaten in the big games. And so do we.
I'm glad you enjoyed your laugh today,
but I'm sure 'Coach' makes you laugh continually with his humor. He is a funny man
