Going by the ch7 and fox footy news sounds like Geelong might miss out on Deleido. They don't really have anything to offer us and might have salary cap issues

lets be blunt then, its not about being pedantic, its about being honest. he's not in the top 10% of AFL players now. He will never play 22 games a year again, and he is there for class and impact in a decent team, not to carry a team to a win
its no slight on him, but he's about to hit 30 with old man injuries.

if your source is wrong do you punch them in the face ??Lids wants out
Geelong want Lids
rumours are that both teams have no idea how to work out a trade
That's a lie, it's being sorted.
Likely to be a young player and a pick.
You read it here first.
edit: not naming source, but my source almost has a 100% hit rate so that's good enough for me

What did we give up for that prick again? And what did he cost us?
Most expensive player in the history of the AFL

There are about 700 AFL players so the top 10% is the Top 70.
Last year he made AA (top 22) while only playing 15 games (which means he's probably firmly top 15 due to being at a disadvantage from playing less games), so I think your claim is unjustifiable.
He can still carry a team to a win IMO, once he's fit he's 100%. You're right about him not playing 22 games though and that's the problem - not that he's significantly below 100% when he does play.
Deledio's reduced value is related to his inability to play 22 games, not due to his reduced output once he's up and running.

All you need for that math is an average of 3-4 players per club to be better than him. And a dud club like us has four
Why the personal insult... what has he done to deserve being called a prick? I'm sick of the constant vitriol being thrown at our players both past and present from posters on this site.
I suppose it's easy (not to mention gutless) when hiding behind an avatar.

Not every club has a fab five like Rance, Martin, etc. Think we'll struggle to find 70 players better than Deledio, but agree to disagree.
In terms of his value to Geelong, I think he is likely to offer them 15 games of near-AA quality football. If they manage him right, they can get him peaking around finals for 3-4 years.
They'd look at him kicking 3 first quarter goals against Hawthorn last year for what they're getting. He can miss a few games early in the season as he won't be relied upon to get them to the finals, his role would the cream on top during finals in big games.
There aren't many cream players for a Top 4 team this trade period better than Deledio. Of course, it comes down to what Geelong are willing to pay and how much they prioritise their future. Considering their Dangerfield investment, I would understand if they double down with Deledio.

Is this old man Delidio the same one as the Delidio that is not even 30yo, and only missed 18 games in 3 years (probably a lot less if we were a remote finals chance in 2016) and before that hardly missed a game?
Just thought I would check

Remember that Brett is contracted. The club won't be caving into a poor trade with Geelong or any other club regardless of whether lids wants to go there or not.

He cost us the chance of picking Scully or Trengrove instead of that dud Martin.

Lids, hands like a vice and a leg like a traction engine. It'll be a shame if he does leave, a ****ing great footballer.

Scully's turned out OK, he ain't no Dusty though.
Well that was a waste of a damn good rant then!
