I reckon Lids deserves some slack - he played well over 200 games for us without winning even 1 final.
Even Hardwick said during the finals series that if you had asked them at the end of last year whether they would make the prelim (or was it the GF) that they wouldn't have believed it.
To be honest no one saw our last 5 games coming - even at that late stage most didn't even expect us to finish top 4 - thought we would quietly slip down the ladder and lose another final to finish a season with a pass.
It is normal to burn out after so many years giving everything for no reward. He moved on because he was no longer loving his profession - I don't have a problem with that. Of course he is disappointed, envious, confused and perhaps even regretting his decision.
He will always be a tiger champion just not a premiership tiger champion.
