Brett Deledio knows he’ll be linked to a possible trade at season’s end but says he hasn’t met with clubs

RICHMOND star forward Brett Deledio is resigned to the fact his name will be linked to ongoing trade rumours. Deledio, 29, whose season ended abruptly after an innocuous calf injury in Round 17, dismissed speculation he had met with North Melbourne officials as “hearsay and rumour”. “It’s something that I don’t need to really stress about too much,” Deledio said. “I’ll get away from the city for a little while and we got plenty of weddings coming up to keep me distracted. “I think (trade speculation) is all part and parcel of the game really.”

Deledio told manager Anthony McConville on Wednesday he had not “caught up with anyone” without his knowledge. “Look it (North Melbourne link) was news to me, but all hearsay and rumour I think at this stage,” Deledio told RSN.

Former Essendon champion Tim Watson last month said Richmond should follow St Kilda’s rebuild blueprint and trade Deledio. The Saints offloaded stars including Nick Dal Santo, Brendon Goddard and Ben McEvoy to secure early picks in the draft. “They’re going to have to make some really tough decisions and I think one of the decisions that they should look at is (Brett) Deledio,” Watson told SEN.

“And I think that can be a win-win for the club.” Deledio managed just 11 games this year after a quadriceps injury stalled his start to the season. He struck form midway through the season but his campaign ended last month.

“I don’t think I’m injury prone,” Deledio said. “I’ve just had a bad year and I feel that I’m on top of my calf strength and Achilles strength.” Richmond has modified Deledio’s training program to reduce the risk of further injuries.

so what do you guys prefer

pick 6 to gws for 15 and steele
15 to gc for prestia

or pick 6 to suns for prestia and our original second

Neither. It's over pay for both.

Steele is not playing seniors, was a 2nd round pick so a 9 pick down grade is way overs.

Prestia is a very good player, but 2 years of injury concern, uncontracted and nominating us makes his worth mid teens or pick 6 to mid teens.

Top 10 picks are only swapped for super stars historically. Guys like Christiansen, Bell, Aish, Freeman, Greenwood are traded for picks in the early 20's. Redden and Wellingham go for 17 & 18 who were 24 and 25 are the best indicators of Dions worth. He is better then both, who both produced some very good years, but not top 10 worth. So 12-18 is fair value.

The first option Steele is a good player who in my opinion has the potential to be a great inside mid. Remember he is only 20, so he has much more growth to come

If as reported Hawthorn were the under bidders on Prestia which club is in front for O'Meara ?
Surely the hawks don't have O'Meara if they were chasing Prestia .

Omeara will stay at GC IMO.
He will sign a 1 year deal and hope he plays well next year to up his price.

Ignore "The Roar Is Back". He's just desperate to get Prestia. Had posters of him on his wall growing up.

vickery , twavis and mcmahon on the other 3 walls. FJ on the roof.
bonus with Prestia is i was able to also fit tartans above him

 

[Lsta062]

Prestia for next years first.

Get it done on day 1 of trade week so we have the rest of our time to focus on more pressing needs.

Welcome, Dion.

Fyfe is available next year, so I'd think the club would want to have enough picks to get him across.

 

[tigerwill]

Resticted free agent next year isn't he? Just need big dollars available and hope Freo don't match it. If he passes his medical.
They can get a high compo pick.

LMAO

Will you replace your Vickery one with him in a poos and wees jumper?

FA. If we don't have a pick I'd imagine it would be less likely they match.

 

[Groupie_]

Lol I love the old " at least we've won a final " by some opp posters .
Who gives a flying **** win a flag or STFU .

we have won 5 premierships since melbournes last flag minnow club with no supporters

voted themsleves out of existence in 1996 and if it werent for Hawforn members saving em they wouldnt be around

 

[TiggerMan22]

He gets tagged because he's susceptible to it, he plays also plays a key role as our openside get out option. Now that teams know he lacks composure they generally just sweat on him and watch him run to the boundary and handball back to a stationary teammate. Add to that, he can't tackle and he can't win a contested groundball, can't convert his shots on goal and isn't a damaging kick.

Hes top 10 in our team for average contested ball a game. 16th for average tackles.
Yeh midfielders set shot accuracy is really important with the about 5 set shots he has a year. Lmao.
Hes 23, he plays an important role, whiever we get to replace him will be similar.
Hes not getting traded, so stop crying about him

Going to be funny watching it all unravel. For all the huffing and puffing they're still not in finals.

Best thing is gonna be when all there 17 inside mids go for the same hard ball and knock each other out

 

[Barry_Badrinath]

If Freo are bottom 4 again next year it might make it easier for them to let Fyfe walk through FA. An extra top 5 pick is at least half decent compo.

The thing people forget with Steele is that he doesn't get much actual on ball time when he plays. GWS plays him as a half forward.

The only time he has played on ball was in the NAB Challenge and he was almost best on ground

 

[TiggerMan22]

2016 1st + 2017 1st + 2016 4th
For
O'Meara, Prestia + Port Adelaides second

It's a risk but without taking risks you won't win a flag with GWS around.

If fit our midfield would be the best in the AFL no question.

Not enough. Gold coast want 2 first rounder just for O'meara

 

[Tiges1229]

Going to be funny watching it all unravel. For all the huffing and puffing they're still not in finals.

And they still haven't won a flag. Until that time who cares what they do , make finals etc etc. Winning a flag is what this competition is about.

 

[poppa pump]

rocket thinks jom is worth 2 first rounders, hah hah hah, bullshit, then he can recruit guns from the one leg disabled olympics, as jom is only marginally better off, i would be afraid his knee caps would fly off while running flat out.

 

["The Roar Is Back"]

Vickery at another club may lead to pre ejac

 

[fargothegreat]

I'm keen for us to go hard at Tom Clurey from Port. Hes been playing well for them lately, and been playing on big players like Buddy and Cameron.

Would either allow Grimes to play on smaller opponents and Vlastuin more midfield time, or he could replace Astbury in the lineup to please Groupie_
