Duncan Kellaway & Matt Rogers to announce retirements

<< < (2/5) > >>

Fishfinger:
 ???Just listened to the Richmond show on Sport927. The retirement report was mentioned and said to be just a rumour. They were very coy, saying to wait and see.

froars:
Some classic stuff on Duncs/Rog from Diggs/Laff on PRE lol  ;D

--- Quote from: mightytiges on July 05, 2004, 11:29:42 PM ---Thanks for that FF. I thought Kel was promoted as a result of AK being placed on the long-term injury list. I remember, it might have been Greg Miller on club corner a week or two ago, mentioning Kel had 4 more weeks at that time. Not certain if that's correct though. If we can keep him on the senior list due to the extra spot anyhow then that's great news.

Just to clarify Kel Moore's promotion to the senior list.

Kyle Archibald (severe OP) was put on the long term injury list (not AK) and as a result Moore was promoted. Archibald is training and it is hoped he will be able to play in the next 4-6 weeks for Coburg. Moore was/is slated to go back to the rookie list at this time. I am not quite sure whether he can remain on the senior list if these 2 retire.

FF is on the money we are one short on our list but I would think that it will now depend on our salary cap position

Rogers and D.Kellaway call it a day

More change is afoot at Punt Road, after two veteran Tigers, Duncan Kellaway and Matthew Rogers, announced their retirement from football on Tuesday.

Kellaway, 31, will not add to his 180-game tally, after battling various hamstring and foot injuries in recent years and eventually succumbing to the kidney complaint he suffered in a VFL match two weeks ago.

The courageous Tiger played seven matches in the final rounds of last year, and played what would be his final senior game in round 12 against Fremantle at the MCG this year.

Rogers, who at the beginning of his 11th season, was only four matches short of reaching 200 senior games. He will play his final, and only, match this year against Essendon on Saturday, taking his career tally to 197 matches.

Kellaway, the elder brother of Tiger Andrew, would have missed the rest of the season with the serious kidney bruising and has therefore made his retirement effectively immediately.

The seemingly fearless defender/on-baller finished second in Richmond's best-and-fairest award in 1997 and third in 1994, in what was just his second season.

Rogers, 30, played 17 matches last year, predominately in defence, but was also a handy tagger and fill-in forward over his career.

He was the club's leading goal kicker in 2000, when Matthew Richardson was sidelined by injury. But like Kellaway, he has recently struggled with form and injury.

mightytiges:
As long as Rogers isn't brought in at the expense of a youngster then it's a good gesture by the club.

The changing of the guard is almost complete with only Cambo and Richo left from the Northey days and a question mark over the former's plans for next year.
