Chappy back this week?

Just wanted to get peoples thoughts on when Chappy will be back. Was he just given a rest or does he really have a calf injury?
.....l reckon if it is his calf he might end up being out for longer than just 1 week.
What do you think?

no chance he was rested.

calf injuries aren't easily overcome so i'd be surprised if he were back this week.

Neil Balme said this morning he should be ok but like Corey had to train this weeks.

Yer they would not rest him against West Coast and I dont think he would be out longer than 1 Week

fortunately it's a friday night game for the cats again so we will be able to see if he is named and make our mind up from there

On the news tonite Scott said Chappy "possibly". I expect him to miss. Hopefully I'm wrong.

Neil Balme said in the Herald Sun yesterday he was confident Chappy will play:

I dearly hope he does. My forward line has been falling apart

From Herald Sun today - "restricted to light duties and is racing against time to prove his fitness" I'm even less confident. They won't risk him.
