Imagine Luke Jackson, Mathew Johnson and Chappy all starting in the centre square and Sean Darcy's the ruckman.

Chapman is basically a really tall Stephen Hill.

Caleb Serong and Andy Brayshaw do not like this idea at all.
Those shorties can find other roles to start the game.
Set back for Chappy, not good, this season may be a write off for him.

No he hasn't.
He did his hammy on May 1st. And it was listed by the club as 6 - 8 weeks.
He progressed well and has been training strongly. This new setback is hamstring tightness and should only set him back a week or two. Hopefully.

it's hamstring tightness and with our minimal injury list and his future potential, we are carefully managing him back so it doesn't become something worse as we have seen in the past with other players. Seems like we are just being responsible and very cautious which is great. Take your time Heath. The next two years are going to be very big ones and you will be needed.
Weber would have had him practicing his Muay Thai head kicks pre-game.

Over reaction of the yearI don’t want to be over dramatic, but I fear for Chappy. Will be surprised if he makes 150 games.
It’s becoming clear he’s prone to soft tissue injuries. What’s worrying is that he’s very young for this to be happening with such frequency.
Also it’s frustrating as he cannot build any momentum in his footy and realise his potential if constantly getting muscular injury setbacks

He has shown to be susceptible to injuries to be fair, altho first year was a contact injury with the shoulder
Always gonna be worried about that shoulder having done it so young, he always wears heavy strapping there now
Didn't Young miss his first couple years with something similar? Ankle injury and then bad hammy? And he's been pretty durable since.
Yeah but Young played 22 in his third year, Chappy is in his third year and only played 26 for his whole career
I spose its only 35 v 26 rn tho and if chappy gets back he will add to it
fingers crossed these are just speed bumps

Young suffered from contact injuries, Chappy has been prone to soft tissue issues off the track.
Young did a long term hammy, he's not all contact injuries. But yeah Chappy does seem very prone to soft tissue.
Not sure if we can bring Chappy up the ground yet. We seem to be one quality defender short. Green then JUh and they are the only ones i can remember because of recency

We are not one quality defender short, our midfield got spanked and our defense was flooded. We held up quite well until 3 qtr time. Chappy needs to be injected into the wing or center bounce for reasons repeatedly demonstrated this season.
