we all remember last year when the axe was dropped on kellaway and not gaspar that the reason Tw gave was because gas is a genuine kpp and can play on the gorillas. one is assuming he meant the big full forwards.

gas hasn't played on a gorilla all year. in round 1 joel got fev, rnd 2 joel gas BBBB and in rnd 3 joel got Shocca and gas played on medhurst.

now cmon terry, why did kella really get the axe?

Maybe Gaspar did a deal with the club to extend his contract by a year in exchange for reducing the amount paid in his fat 5 year contract. Maybe the club was too embarrassed to admit that a bloke that hasn't played decent football for 3 years held them over a barrel so they had to come up with this *smile* reason. Just a rumour though.......

Don't think so Ridley,I think TW felt Gaspar would be of more value than Kellaway.

There's often more than meets the eye MB. I wonder why a certain club was actually looking at trading for Gaspar then decided against it as they'd have had to pay too much of his existing contract. And we all thought he didn't have a contract...... ;)
 
if gaspar got the gorillas than why didnt he play on goodes in round 2......now cmon he is the only ape in the league

We all did, jb. But the other scenario makes a lot of sense right now. Walks like a duck...
 
By elavating Gas to the vets list we were able to pick up Peterson.
I might be wrong but didnt we give Gas a Refined contract around 2004-05ish[pay cut]?

Ye we did,he's certainly not on big money this year.
 
gaspar compared to AK, is no comparrison. AK gave his heart and soul for richmond. put his body on the line every time. gas just waddles around. if he was kept on to play FB then play him there. would much prefer AK on medhurst than gas. on hall too for that matter. surely wrong decision waas made!!
anyway that has come and gone. Gas should now be dropped for good and a young fella given an opportunity to develop at HBF back pocket, especially since joel seems to be playing FB.
