Sometimes I think he is the forgotten man in our team.

Today, for instance he racked up 11 marks, 2 handballs, for a total of 13 possessions. It is not so much that he keeps on getting the ball, but where he gets it. No frees for or against. Just rock solid.

Today he popped up all over the ground. Suddenly he would be taking a mark in the backline, then somehow he would appear on the forward flank. Then back again to the backline taking more marks. He is our will o' the wisp, that's for sure and deserves all the accolades that should come his way.
 
I love Andy Kellaway. In fact, I loved Dunc too - the way they lay everything on the line is an inspiration. He is the straw that stirs the Tiger cocktail!
 
Bowdo may be the 'general' down back, but Chubba gets the hard pill.

He gets it all over the ground, his committment to the ball and to hold his marks is fantastic, he has a work rate second to none.

God Bless you Chubba......A key in Richmonds 06 Chances to make the finals.

I second that emotion MT.
 
Simple question-and an easy answer.
When was the last time he was beaten by his direct opponent?
 
Its great to see another top player silencing his critics.

Lets his footy do his talking. Which is the best thing to do.
 
Kellaway has made a huge difference to the team since coming back last week. Strength and experience, very nice to have alongside a young group. Not trying to change the topic but Troy Simmonds I put into the same category. Slightly built youngsters seeing these guys around them doing well must be good for confidenece.
 
Obviously his marking is one of his strengths, but his two greatest assets are how he reads the ball coming into defence & gets into position beautifully, but also his ability to run off his opponent & create options further up the ground

I heard some-one say that our loss record when chubba doesn't play is something like 88%. Sounds about right.

When Terry was on the couch last week he said that when Kella isn't playing for us our winning percentage is 14%
