Paul Chapman

we're an optimistic bunch.

he's been the best pick in terms of consistency in the forwards by a country mile - so far

haha glass is half full, i dont have him at the moment but i do recall the alleged tear last year against the crows at skilled where he apparently did it in the 1st qtr but played out the game and kicked 6  :o

knives are sharp, roses have thorns, tiger has mistresses, chappy has hammies ....

[roo boys!]

so true....

We all know Chappy's hamstrings have been a nightmare in the past and with there being no partial lockout available this weekend, Dream Teamers will have no idea of Geelongs 22 on Thursday night when the teams are released?

Has anyone an idea of how many he is expected to miss?

And J Brown is sitting patiently on my bench? Is he another 2 away as first expected?

Chapman - 3 weeks. Torn ham
J. Brown - 1 week

Chapman - 3 weeks. Torn ham
J. Brown - 1 week

All the people who have chappy *sigh*

[wcarey]

are you the oracle ridley?

[ridley]

yeh im the oracle, jono brown missign 2 not 4 :P

[McRooster]

No.
A "big well done" to all coaches who refrained from saying "I told you so!" about Chapstrings.
Uppity, sarcastic comments like "deja vu" and "Groundhog Day" have filtered through, much to the chagrin of owners and to the amusement of others. DT coaches have feelings and should be treated with respect.
How were they to know?, after all there can be no expectation without education.People spend quality hours researching ins and outs for their sides, often for no result or major setback.
The pain will feel greater this year because he has filled so many coaches with a lot of deserved love....save time and heartache, pick someone else!

I told you so :P

[browny_wce]

its funny how all these people who are saying "i told u so" at chappy are the same people who have ablett in their team, which=same rest policy

there is only one other person u wuld have who wuld score better than chappy & wuld be a forward must which wuld be roo

i culdnt be happier that i had chappy in my team
an average of 117 for the year and misses one game!
thats better than a 60 from pav, a 50 from gia, or a few games missed by didak via LWs

to those who dont have chapman just suck it up dont attempt to gloat saying u were smart not getting him, just because he misses one game coz of hammy soreness, those people were probably the ones who went riewoldt to jbrown or brennan  ;D
