Interesting......
All this talk of Gas and Chubba getting the stuff.
I know Gas couldnt have played but if the club wasnt going to give Chubba another contract you would have thought they would tell him this and give him one last game for the Tigers wouldnt you?
I would rather see us delist players such as Roach, Jackson, Moore, Humm, McGuane all before Chubba.
Add to that Chaffey and Staff and you have atleast 6-7 spots aswell as possible trades.

With no full back, unless we count Joel, this could get ugly if we are not switched on in the middle. Might as well go full out in a shootout and hope Richo and co can kick a winning score. The Eagles don't have a flash record at the 'G.
Roachy is a big surprise. Maybe a "show us why you should stay on our list" selection ???.
-
Fair chance that Sarge may spend some time down back this week.
Let Staff loose on the WC players and hopefully he has sharpened his elbows ;D

You could be right Bully. Sarge would be our best bet against a gorilla like Lynch.
-
Rodan should of been brought in just to show everyone why we should move him on for next season

McGuane has significantly more upside than Chubba. It maybe a decision between the two ? Moore = gawwn.
Good to see Tom Roach get a chance, cos it really will be now or never. If he shows enough, delist re-draft or rookie spot between Tom & Jacko.

West Coast changes:
In: Armstrong, Rosa, Le Cras
Out: Embley, Wirrpanda, Sampi

Dont know how you see that Darth Tiger, i reckon Chubbs could play another 2 years as a third defender.
McGuane is a Dud IMO and will not even go close to making it at AFL level.

Looks like a farewell game for three listed players :lol

Saw his game against the Bullants on ABC2 last night, and thought that his defensive pressure in the forward line was impressive when against 2 and normally 3 opponents.
Has kicked goals at the Burgers and is a more accurate kick than Chubba. Also has significantly more pace which suits the broader game plan.
Is taller with a better leap and has courage (perhaps not more than Chubba but he doesn't squib).
Chubba is 31, McGuane at 20 has more natural talent and therefore, IMO further upside.
Have you seen him play more than his debut game against the Swans to form such an assessment ?

I'm jump now Darth ;D As I said on the other thread McGuane (IMO) doesn't have more of an upside on Chubba as defender, certainly does as a forward but not as defender.

I'm speechless :-X :gobdrop ;D

Can understand you logic there Darth but the only thing I"d say about it was he was playing as a forward - he reads it a helluva lot better as forward than a backman.
Has kicked goals at the Burgers and is a more accurate kick than Chubba. Also has significantly more pace which suits the broader game plan.
I reckon Chubba's a bloody good kick - seen him kick some clutch goals for us over the years

Yep I've seen all but 1 Burger game this year. And this is just my opinion but when he's played down back against the bigger stronger for FF's he's struggled. I am talking against the likes of Rocca, Morrell etc. I think he's more of a natural forward and as a result he really does struggle with reading the play when he is FB - seems to cop better at CHB. Against fast leading forwards he gives then too much of a break and they end up getting hit on the chest. I think you'll find he has had some bags kicked against him.
Is he worth persisting with - yeah I'd give him another year but if we are hoping his going to hold a key backline post in 2007.. well I don't think he is ready

WP are the Chubba rumours confirmed ?
Will we have to wait for the shake-out from mad Monday ?

The Chubba stuff has been reported in the age and now on Channel 7.
Ch 7 didn't actually have an interview with Tezza - they just said Richmond Coach Terry Waalce said that Kellaway couldn't be guaranteed a contract
The only other thing Tezza last night with Caro at his side was that he was going to be speaking to all his players next week between Monday and thursday - has always done it as soon as the season is over.

Two times Roach has been elevated for a WCE game...does someone at RFC think he is Nathan Bower's son, not Disco's?
-
gr8 move, looks like chubba and gas are gone
and
roach is given a shot to show the coaching staff something, he does not have to do alot, just show that he has something to offer.
its time we stopped getting sentimental and think about our long term future not our short term goals.
terry has the balls fraudley lacked

Ain't over till the fat lady sings. No evidence whatsoever that chubba and gas are gone. Didn't most people also jump up and down the Spud didn't give proper recognition to players that were pushed into retirement? I can't see Richmond getting rid of 2 backman when there isn't any decent players ready enough to replacement. Sure we have Joel but what happens if he gets injured.

Well said Julz: :clapping 'We would be up the well known creek' :banghead

Chubba is named as an emergency so will he come in as a late change ???. If there was a chance that he won't be around next year then you'd think he would play alongside Staff and Chaffey in a farewell game.
