Here's an even better one. In 2014, Kane Lambert played for the Northern Blues, Carlton's VFL affiliate. They then took eight picks in the National Draft, the PSD and the Rookie draft. Three years later only Blaine Broekhurst is left on their list.
We then took Kane Lambert with pick 46 in the rookie draft.
On Saturday, either Eddie Betts and Sam Jacobs or Shaun Grigg and Kane Lambert will be premiership players.
I imagine Lids is one bloke who’s emotions would have been going crazy yesterday. How bitter sweet it would have been for him to see the Tigers win the premiership.
He made a decision that while it looked good at the time, it will haunt him for a very long time.

Agree 100%. The culture of the club seems to have radically changed (clearly for the better) in the last 12 monthsKing Kong said:
Not sure which player from the premiership team would get replaced by Deledio.
Deledio's best was already well behind him before he departed RFC. Don't believe he will have a very long or notable career with the Giants.

Depends on the injury I reckon. I don't think he would have made it in if he was injured that long. But, like the Giants, would the club succumb to the emotional blackmail and played him regardless.
Don't know. But he would have been part of a Premiership winning team, though maybe not a player. I'm sure Bob Murphy would tell him that's pretty good,
In 2004, many believed it would be Deledio's legacy to become a symbol of the RFC.
Much loved, he's now become a symbol of Richmond tragedy.
For me, he's also a reflection of the dark side of my mind questioning why I continue to support the club, and he was able to live out that dark desire to leave because he could, whereas many of us simply didn't have that choice. Our irrational love was rewarded where his realistic outlook led to deep regret.
It's become a Shakespearean tragedy of a golden boy choosing to break the chains of blind love to his tribe in favour of reason over emotion.
Jack chose emotion over reason.
