So, you want us to trade one or more of our good players at 22 or thereabouts, cos we're crap, and you can't see us being successful in 10 years' time? What if in 5 years' time this all happens again? Or the player we replace Lids with doesn't end up being as good?Tubytiger said:
I'm not advocating keeping all our players, but trading players like Lids just shouldn't be considered unless the deal is so much in our favour. Otherwise, we'll continue to have age gaps and teams full of 18-22 yo's with potential!
Congrats on your 100th game anyway Brett & may there be another 150 odd in the yellow & black
Tubytiger said:
Hmm, lets trade all our players because individually none of them will win us a premiership. Silly. Deledio is very important to Richmond's potential future. What are we going to trade him for? Hope of some unknown youngsters becoming better than him? Deledio is in the right age group for our next stint at success. Hopefully we're more successful than our attemptsin the last 25 years.

The other issue GO is our lack of players 24-28. Trading Lids will just add to that dilemma come 2011+.

I wasn't either and I asked around. It's not paranoia!
Was told by a friend in the footy department that Brett (and even moreso his old man) want out to Carlton but he's not 100% gone.
The prospect of a new coach has him sitting on his hands at the moment, but he doesn't want to be part of another full rebuild.
If we tank and don't win another game for the year, it may just provide the impetus for Brett to say see you later!
Bit of a dilemma really.
Tank and maybe pick up Scully but lose Deledio or win and start building a winning culture?

Not according to my source that was pretty close to the horses mouth. I was told Otto really disliked being at the club and wanted out. I posted that a few months before he went and nobody believed it. I don't believe it was ever about the money.
Congrats on 100 games Lids. Your best is still to come. I can't wait to see it in the yellow and Black.....Go Tiges!!!!!

If all that is true then I'd let him walk...straight into the PSD. He can end up at Freo or Melb. That'll learn him.
