What if we had Delidio back to fitness now to complete our finals team make up

[Rich o man]

Delidio overcoming injury at this point of the season was seen as the icing on TOP of the cake for GWS premiership aspirations.

I have always been a Delidio fan but I think the club did the right thing to get a 1st round draft pick next year which we will hopefully reap the benefit of in years to come.

Having said that, imagine the hyperbole from us Richmond fans if we still had him and he was just coming back into our side as the final piece of the puzzle.

 

[TigerTime88]

We are going to cop them in a first final and he is going to tear us apart.

 

[Wacko23Jacko]

We wouldn't be where we are with him in the team unfortunate as it is.

In saying that he is the kind of bloke who generally kills us

 

[Shogun]

Lambert or Prestia will just have to put some time into him if he starts getting lively. Shaking a tag isn't his strong point.

Could even see BEllis playing on him.

We would have won 2 games all year if he was listed but not playing. Love that Deledio curse.

 

[tigerz18]

this was a win win for all involved. GWS got an injury prom elite mid-sized forward.

We got a first round pick for a player that had 1-2 years left in him and are able to build to the future. Also allowed players such as butler and castagna to get games they would not have otherwise gotten. They have added so much more than a broken down Lids (no offence to him as he is one of my all time favs) but is getting to the end of a great career.

OP is such a big Deledio fan, that he manages to spell his name wrong every single time.

 

[Bobby Sands]

Would rather pick 11.

 

[Tassie27]

Imagine how emotional Deledio would be if we play them in a qualifying final. Brings back memories of Luke Ball vs St Kilda.

Lids is a killer.
He will bite Cotch's ear.

I still feel bad about how we moved him on, although it was good for us.

He moved himself on really?

He wanted to leave to give himself a shot at a flag before his time was done, will be a lol if we win it without him

 

[Hot tigers]

If we play GWS he will be the least of our issues, I would back Grimes to take care of an underdone Del.

Big time.

He really thought he was the club, and is obviously a club legend.

But I don't think we could have gotten to where we are culturally as a club if he was still here.

Very true we had that whole mentality of no lids, no tigers.
Our record without him in the team was horrible

How do you know this?

nope

he is s**t and past it

will retire this year

 

[Bobby Sands]

How do you know this?

It's been reported ad nauseam.

Was a finding in the Deloitte analysis & was self-evident when he spoke publically.

Lids used to go into the recruiters offices & want to be updated on who they we're getting / trying to get. Which is fine to be excitable, but I think he felt no door at RFC was closed to him.

 

[3rdManUp]

So trade him back in during our premiership window?? Sounds familiar...

Yep I heard the same sort of things, I think culturally it was the best thing to trade him out and to walk away with a first and third rounder for him was icing on the cake. Wonder what we would have got for him at the end of this year if we hadn't acted last season?

 

["The Roar Is Back"]

maybe we are playing the way we are cause he isn't there ?
