Guys on SEN this morning said that the Drummond injury wasnt too serious and would miss 1 week at most... take it with a grain of salt though.

It's unlikely he'll miss as many weeks as Chapman, Ablett or Corey. Or Hodge, Cornes, et al for that matter.
I wonder how many drafted in Muston this week. I mean, he's only had three knee re-co's. Where's his thread? How many had Hentschel at the start of the season? Where's his thread?
We all take chances on players likely to miss games through injury. I'm not sure why you'd rejoice in not picking Drummond (who's been pretty good) considering how many others you could've had who've actually forced you to trade this season.
"Voss added Josh Drummond’s calf injury sustained in the first quarter could possibly keep him out of next weekend’s clash with Hawthorn".

Sounds like he will miss 1 game and be ready to play Round 13 (27 June, a 20 day rest).

Yep, will get the week off during the mid season break, so should only miss 1 which is a relief!
Hasn't been the greatest in DT, but a revelation for SC (at his price) with no socre under 80 until last night, am still glad i picked him from the start in both forms of the game
Those that got on him in SC for Chornes would be mighty angry.

Chappies timing is impeccable... right before the DT finals!

As Saint pointed out to me, it has happened 4 years in a row. He loves to ruin all well timed plans.

This a thread that just keeps being relative. Drummond didn't look overly fit on the weekend either.
I haven't checked yet, but I'd imagine that I'll end up playing the only teams without Chappy in the 8...DT is a complicated beast!

All the other teams in the 8 in my league fell for chappy again. I held off waiting for the inevitable round 17-20 2 to 3 week hammy and was just starting to regret it...
Rule # 1 for me from now on (as I only go for a league win): Never pick Chapman in DT unless it's your last trade heading into a league GF and he's fit and named to play.

YES!!! There is a dt god afterall 
He's still 2nd overall for forwards and if he misses just the 2 games he'll still finish in the top 2 forwards. Couple that with bench coverage and he's been the best forward in DT for the year.
Since I picked up Chappy in round 12 he's scored:
135
144
151
117
126
92
136
Even with him missing two weeks I'm definately not regretting it.

One of the reasons why I didn't pick Chapman this year was because of his BS hamstrings. Unfortunately some things seem to never change.
I have got him the past 2 seasons and he has always got injured when i got him. Decided i would not get him this year until Higgins got injured. With 2 trades left i needed someone to boost my scores to get me higher in the overall ranks so i thought i would be safe to get him in last week.... i was wrong

Chapman + cover still one of the best if not best forward you can have, key word is cover.
Drummond has been dissapointing - score wise for what his potential was.

I found richo's hammy & ruslings injuries just as funny
He wasn't good if you're going for a league win and could have made the 8 without him. Finals is when it really counts for leagues. His average over the year means next to nothing for me. It was only a small part of some teams qualifying for the finals.
There was a high probability of this happening in DT finals which is why I didn't get him.
Granted, if the overall position is important to you he was a good pick if you have cover.

Yes, but while you may think chapman + mbrown would of been a solid invesment, what if your other bench forward is taylor walker (currently out) and you have thus had to cop 2-3 zeros due to a murphy/goodwin/higgins/pavlich type player going down.
Although you have cover for chapman, it may be costly in that you might not have cover for any other injuries, which in turn can cost you a couple of hundred points quite easily.
Just something to remember.

I hear what you saying but that is why by round 10 I had surrounded Chappy by supposedly durable types in Buddy, Lids, Roo, SJ & Pav. I am sure the % chance of 2 durables in Pav & SJ going down at the same time is quite small so that was just unlucky.
As it stands ballantyne being suspended hurts this week which may force a LTI trade.
If I look at Chappys position lets say call it Gun Forward 1.
Gun Forward 1 score 1866
Cover for Gun Forward 1 so far (Warren 53,83) 136
New Gun Forward 1 (Didak) est 400.
Total for Gun Forward 1 - 2402(plus some surplus cash about 40K) all at the cost of 1 LTI trade I call that a win.
