How many weeks do we think Chappy will be out for?
I am thinking 1. Reckless act. From someone in the leadership group, playing in their 100th game it was pretty pathetic.
I have not been this disapointed in a long time with the teams effort. I hope they are hurting as much as me.

Yeah, 1 week, it was reckless, very disappointed with him and most of the Geelong side tonight.
Btw, Paul Williams should get 2 weeks for his Logie winning performance, this isn't Football (soccer) and he ain't Rivaldo.

Useless attempt at a high tackle on Leo Barry when he was past the contest. Closed first strait into Leo Barry's chin/nose.

Clinched fist swept across Leo Barry's (?) neck, it was soft, but then again, the AFL has become as soft as Netball so he'll get a week at least, and it was his 100th game :mad:

Some Sydney moron stopped on the spot, Chapman was running by and was desperate to tackle him but couldn't stop himself and virtually went running by with his fist and got him sweet in the middle of the face.

I think he will be right.
He can argue he was trying to punch the footy (which I think he was)
Another thing in his favour is the umpire stating very clearly "It was only an accident"

Longbomb,
As much as i love you at the moment, i will have to disagree.
The umpire said 'it was an accident' but as we all know, the umpires can get it very wrong and on this occasion, he clearly got it wrong IMO.
Silly effort Chappy.
I think he should get off because the ump said that. The ump wont go back on that, and the cats can argue it was an accident with that information

A reprimand at worst - he will be right for next week.

Hoff, it looked bad, I agree.
But still, it is evidence we can use.
The ump was right there on the spot and called it an accident and did not lay a report.

The umpire heard clearly saying, "he slipped, it was an accident"
He then awarded a free kick against Chapman

I really hope you are right buddy.
Thanks for the Ablett DVD again! :thumbsu:

I am supporting you on this one Longbomb.
If it does get sighted I am sure they will use that audio.
I think he will get a reprimand. I think he can use that he closed his fist because he was trying to grab a handful of jumper. He unfortunately missed the jumper and connected with the head on the way through.
If Chappy goes for that, it will make a mockery of the tribunal. Holland and Hird get off. Wakelin gets 1, for an off the ball deliberate act. Chappy should get no more than activation points.

He made a clear fist which wont go down a treat with the tribunal. :(
Maybe he should hopefully get off maybe just. lol

Chapman - 1 week.
Leo Barry - Oscar for best performance in a dramatic role.
None
It was no worse than Barry Hall's late attempted spoil with his fist into Callan's head
Both accidents

He should get off, was just trying to tackle him but slipped high. But he'll probably get 3 weeks. No one knows.

Haha he'll probably get a life's sentence in prison with the way the tribunal is going.

Nah, he is clearly in trouble as the umpire was just wrong.
The umpire said "It was an accident", I agree.
But he also said "It was open", meaning the hand. It clearly wasn't.
If he only gets a week he can consider himself lucky.
IMO, some players have gone for alot less and players got off for more!
We'll see what Champman gets in this game of roulette we call the Tribunal!
Go Chappy! :thumbsu:

I think Mooney may have been reported. He gave someone a tummy punch. :(
Anyone know more details?

It was Barry changing direction that caught him out, if he hadn't stopped to change direction, he wouldn't have hit him in the face.
Hopefully he will get off.

Yeah Mooney gave Bolton a punch to the stomach, it was on TV. Some other player a few weeks ago did a similar thing and he got off. The only thing is, Mooney's got a prior record.

Bah! If it's soft and he got no points to his name, should get off!

Would be a week max if anything. Still a pain! :( Silly boys!!!! grrrrr
Hot off the press:
"Geelong's Paul Chapman has escaped with a reprimand despite being charged with striking Sydney's Leo Barry during the Swans' weekend victory, with his previous good record taken into account."
Some good news at last.

Indeed. It would have hurt losing an AA in chapman when our stocks are so depleted.

Sometimes it doesn't hurt to give your own trumpet a good old blow.
