Deledio update for those who are interested (bad news for this week sorry).
http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/a...1/news-story/fc92a1a610990dd3938050216cc8e237
RICHMOND vice-captain Brett Deledio is racing the clock to be fit to play against Geelong next week.
Deledio, 29, will run today and again on Saturday in the hope of getting his calf right for the Round 21 clash at the MCG.
The star forward injured his calf muscle against Essendon a fortnight ago after missing the start of the season with a quadriceps strain.
“It’s been the pits,” Deledio said of his repeated injury setbacks.
“I really want to get up for next week ... we haven’t beaten Geelong since my second year at the club so we owe those blokes a couple.
“I’m itching to get back out there and play again against those blokes.”
Deledio was cleared of any serious damage to his calf but Richmond is yet to put a time frame on his return.
“Few little bumps (recovery) not as smoothly as I would like, he told RSN.
“I’d like to think it will heal and progress and I’ll be fine for next week hopefully.”

i think its fantastic news for all lids owners. however the questions you need to ask yourself is
1. can you hold off and play a rookie?
2. how much impact will he have? i would expect him to have very little impact and richmond will not risk him
3. will he play next week?
i think his scoring will be impacted. if you have the trades, he would be a trade out option.

I'd still trade Lids first.
I've heard that Lids himself wants to play but Rich don't want him to. Think it's better to just cut your losses.
Hall still a good chance for playing next week against the Dons. It's not like GC can afford to cotton wool him. Hall will be back but can't say for sure the same about Lids.
