This morning is torture.
What's this bloody press conference about? What time is it happening?
I was talking to Dunc a few weeks ago and he gave me the impression he was looking forward to getting fit for next season over summer.
Are the press just speculating about the imminent announcement of his retirement or is it fact?
Geez how much heartbreak can a girl take in one week? :'(
All the times over the last few years when I've almost been a one girl band in support of Dunc, it won't be the same not having to go against the flow to defend his good name.
A couple of years ago on TigerFury we were asked to nominate our favourite player and write an article on them.
You don't need three guesses to work out who I chose.
Duncan Kellaway

Duncan Kellaway is the first player Spud selects. Sure his kicking isn't up to Harry Kewells' accuracy but he'll get yer man !!!
Duncan Kellaway : a profile by Rosy.
I certainly drew the winning straw when I nominated Duncan Kellaway as my favourite player.
Everyone who's heart bleeds yellow and black would know of Duncan's immense value to our team already. He is courage and determination personified. He is lightly built, but tough as old boots. The esteem in which he is held at our club is obvious when Danny Frawley states publicly that Duncan is the first player chosen for our team each week. If he is fit he is an automatic selection. He is one player on our list who could walk into any of the other 15 clubs and get a game straight away.
Opposition supporters would know of Duncan's value to Richmond. They know they might as well be a player short because whoever Dunc plays on will rendered ineffective. He takes big scalps week in week out, and often racks up more possessions than the Hirds, Buckleys, McLeods etc that he takes out of the game. Duncan is of great value to the respectability of The Richmond Football club. He is as honest and fair as any player who ever pulled on footy boots, but he manages to combine this with a determination that lets his opponent know he won't stand any nonsense.
There is some conjecture that Dunc shouldn't be in the team because on the odd occasion one of his kicks may go a bit wayward. There are the jokes that he needs a skill reconstruction, that he failed Vic kick etc. These comments obviously come from people who sit in corporate boxes and know SFA about football. They just go for the social kudos and free plonk. (haha couldn't resist) Any grass roots football supporter and anyone who knows anything about the game would forgive Dunc a miskick every now and again. He is in the team to stop an opposition player tearing us to shreds. The rest of our team should have the silky skills to get the ball through our goals. That isn't Duncan's purpose in the team, although he is becoming a regular goal kicker despite that fact.
Duncan has great leadership skills and is always cool under pressure. He is loved and respected by all. He will never be captain of Richmond, but he is a leader just the same. To me the greatest value Duncan Kellaway is to Richmond is his massive heart. Dunc is to football what Phar Lap was to racing. He has a heart that will be remembered in football immortality long after he has gone to the great footy ground in the sky.

I for one hope this press conference is about something other than Duncan kellaway hanging up his boots.
