Apparently contract negotiations with Richmond have stalled according to the Sun.

I'd give pick 2 to get Deledio at Melbourne. Richmond would probably demand more...

I reckon he will be a great player.

    Not a chance.

    Wouldn't touch him myself. He's already been tainted and would cost more than he's worth.

    Tainted how?

    Fantastic player is Deledio.

    Serious talent but often puts in flaky performances. Not near hard enough at it to warrant pick 1 or 2 for me...

    And MFC's culture has been better than Richmond's in the past 5 years? :unsure:

    The challenge for Richmond is that they have alot to clean out put little to bargain with at the trade table.

    They will want to keep Deledio at all costs. If he goes he will be expensive.

    They will want at least a high first round pick plus a good player (no not Newton,Bell or PJ :blink: ).

    We have picks 1,2 and 18. He is a good play but I cant see us dealing on him if he were to leave Richmond.

    I would be surprised if we trade picks 1 and 2. If I think we wont.

    Totally agree. Deledio would have to be the heart of the Richmond revival along with Cotch.

    I was on a Richomond forum the other day, yellowandblack.com.au, and some of their supporters were saying they can win a flag in 3 years? :wacko:

    I dont think there list is as bad as everyone thinks.

    There top dozen players are OK. They have to cut some deadwood at the bottom. But I dont think it is all that bab. However there is no doubt that for 5 years they were badly coached and blew alot of recruiting opportunities

    They're going to be in a bit of trouble for a few years the Toigs. But they do have a few good players to build on over the next little while. Deledio is one of them.

    Pick 2 is fair for both parties IMO. Deledio hasn't had the greatest coaches of all time, but he does have to take responsibility for his own form.

  • Quote

    Deledio will go to a higher bidder looking to gain some talent for tilts in next 2-3. We have to keep in mind that as our ownlist ages and contracts are revisited then our own bills will need attention if we want to keep our own talent at home.

    Maybe another visy ambassadorship is in the wind :rolleyes: ( who said that !! lol )

    Richmond wil fight to keep him or extract blood... we dont need to... we'll be fine

    Well it was a bit tongue in cheek but i forgot to use an 'emoticon'.

    But yeah, i think our culture is in a lot better shape than theirs -- if you go back 5 years, its questionable, but then again, we were playing finals and beating St Kilda back then.

    I think he is a big reason for Richmond's underperformance this year. More is expected of him than what he has produced.

    I also think we won't trade pick 1 or 2.

    Still...should Lids be on the move...he will be one of those Dominoes to act as a catalyst for more happenings

    In a team where Foley, Cotchin, Cousins have been injured for most or a good part of the season, Deledio has had to wear it all. He's 22 and still time to improve.

    There were bigger reasons for the Tigers under performance...some of them have gone already.

    He's still a big reason.

    He may have been up against it but he still underperformed.

    He underperformed but like I said there were bigger reasons for drop from 11.5 wins to 4.5 wins (excluding the MFC win). Nitpicking

    Pick 18, Jared Rivers and Neville Jetta for Deledio and 3rd rd draft pick ;)

    I would do it. Richmond wont.

  • Quote

    Richmond's list is the worst in the league. There is 20+ players needing to be cut over the next 3 yeras and not one decent draft pick to replace them with. They are in for a lengthy run near the bottom of the ladder and Deledio knows this. If a deal not including picks 1 and 2 can be done go for it. I'd say he knows how bad they are going to be for the next decade and wants to come to a club with some hope and some room in the cap to fit him. Sounds like MFC must be a chance. Having said this he'll probably sign with the Tiges, he strikes me as a one club player.

    prefer 34 to 18 in that

  • Quote

    roost it make a valid point in that Lids will probably not want to hang around for ever in a struggling team when he could be playing premiership footy easily in 5 somewhere.

    Richmond need to do either some quick and smooth talking or be prepared for out right rebuilding

    Another player linked to Carlton.

    This VISY money is never ending.

    :lol: No way. Surely.

    Fair dinkum, whenever a player is brought up, so too is Carlton. They can't possibly fit Deledio in. He'll stay at Richmond.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
