Chappy or No Chappy

like many i didnt pick chappy last yr after being burnt from the previous season at finals time.

i wont be doing it again. he is locked and loaded.

as a side note when Ablett missed in rd6 last year Chapman scored 140....true it's not exactly a statistically robust analysis and it was against Richmond but still might ease some concern about the Tag.

The other thing I noticed from last year was that GAJ spent a lot more time in the forward line where as Chappy spent more time in the midfield.  Chappy's scores were great last year

This has actually prompted me for the first time to wonder if Chappy will spend significantly more time as a fwd this year to cover the loss of Ablett. A logical line of thought says probably and a resulting dip in scores?

i wouldnt think so but we will soon see

I have the other train of thought - Geelong were preparing for life without GAJ so they were getting Chappy in the full midfield rotation in preparation for this year.
