why not come here and coach after.

Is he interested in coaching?

That was one of the attractions of Stevie J - players and coaches at Geelong were always saying that Dog had a great footy brain and the ability to communicate that to you under players and that he would be a head coach one day. So it was as much for his coaching as for his playing that I was more than happy to take him.

What is Lids' coaching aspirations/abilities?

coaching would make me maybe less opposed to the trade, but I'm still far from convinced.
 
They said during the year he had already considered this. So if talks are back on, on my opinion they know he is open to it.

Plus nearing the end of his career richmond arnt winning a flag. If he cant go to geelonf why not come here and coach after.

With a flag :)

He must know the giants are a chance next year. That must be very apealing
As long as he's ready and able to contribute and boost our chance of winning a flag, then yeah

One from left field

With the Deledio/Cats deal looking shaky ,but him desperately wanting out of the Tiges, what if we make the call and offer him a 2 year 350pa deal?

He's been a guy who has been well renumerated in his career and is desperate for success, we could use his silk up forward and he could take Stevie J's role in 18'

I know we are right on the button salary cap wise but if there was an op to get him in cheap could it be possible?? Is a Rolls Royce when up and about.

BANG!
 
Don't like the Deledio talk this if it happens it will cost us coming of contract next year M.Kennedy ● A.Kennedy ● Hopper ● Himmelberg ● Williams ● Kelly ● Buntine ● Tomlinson ● Patton Smith ● Shiel ● Palmer ● Flynn concentrate on extending some of these first thanks

Let's get extensions for Kelly, Shiel,Patton and Smith without naming others first. It is well known our cap is tight and I will not be happy if it costs us 1 young player.

T

I def get what you're saying but we are in the flag window. The reality is some of those guys will go regardless and this kind of deal wont really impact. If we can conjure a deal where we get a G1 Player under the odds and subsidised i reckon its good business.

He was still v good this year before he got injured.

Soft tissue injuries moving forward a concern but he's silk.
 
Hopefully Deledio ends up at the Bulldogs or stays at Richmond happy 2 go with what we have only for a 23-10 free kick count against us at home in a final we would have been in a gf and I have no doubt we would have belted the swans.

Richmond only talking to us re Deledio, they just confirmed on Trade Radio. Basically if they decide to move up the deal will be done I reckon.

If it doesn't upset our cap situation going forward I can see positives if he is keen for the move just concerned going forward these trades can bite you on the ass.
 
Let's not all fall back into the mentality of a few years ago where all we talked about was keeping kids on the list because they had potential to improve each year... he reality is we are in a window and need to do whatever we can to improve the team NOW.

Does having lids in he 22 make us better? I think it does
