Paul Chapman

[sross]

Can anyone tell me why Paul Chapman has not been picked in either the AFL or VFL team ?

[JUBJUB]

Maybe he was injured in the VFL last week.

He is not listed in the injury list on the official website

Neither was Mitchell White.
Has White been named in the VFL ?

Chappy hasn't had a game because he isn't a favourite of the coach....simple as that:)

Here's a bit of info on our site about woolnough and others in the VFL.

Geelong’s VFL team surrendered a 25 point half time lead in a tough affair against the Murray Kangaroos in the their match at Coburg yesterday.
In a match, which was as closely fought as the AFL equivalent less than 24 hours earlier, the Murray Kangaroos ran out winners 14.12 (96) to 10.15 (75).
“To be in the position we were in and lose it is pretty unacceptable,” coach Ron Watt said.
“It was a tremendous scrap in the first half. We were really hard at the contest and seemed to be dominating the game. It is pretty disappointing to then lose it,” he said.
Geelong started the match impressively as Paul Chapman set up a goal for Mitchell White in the opening minutes. Charlie Gardener soon followed with a clever snap from the boundary to put the Cats up by two.
The Cats took a ten-point lead into the first break as the Kangaroos lamented their inaccurate kicking from inside 50m.
Soon after the break, Gardiner collided with Kangaroo Daniel Pratt, off the ball, which opened the door for a few scuffles around the ground.
While others were distracted, White took advantage of a free kick and 50m penalty to slot through his second for the match.
The Cats seemed to settle better, having the ball in their 50-metre zone for much of the quarter to build a healthy lead at the main break.
White, who was returning from injury through the VFL, finished the half with three goals.
Not to be counted out of the contest, the Kangaroos lifted their intensity in the third quarter laying a number of strong tackles, which swung the umpires whistle in their favour.
They finished kicked five goals for the quarter to Geelong’s three, reducing the margin to 14 points.
Three goals in five minutes gave the Kangaroos an early lead in the final quarter, before Michael Bright goaled to put the Cats back in front.
Kangaroo Shannon Watt hit back with a strong mark and goal to put the home team back in front shortly after.
The Kangaroos never looked back after this point, though the Cats had their chances to regain the lead.
Geelong finished with many positives including first year players James Kelly and Steve Johnson who both finished with more than 20 possessions and Tim McGrath and David Wojcinski who rebounded well from defence for the entire match.
“We are happy Mitchell got through four quarters. He was pretty influential in the first half,” Watt said.
“He got a bit tired in the last quarter, same as most of the blokes did. It was good to get him through.
“Marc (Woolnough) probably played as good a game as he has ever played for us. He controlled his opponent and was strong and attacking. “He did all the things you expect of a backman,” he said.
Watt said he expects another tough encounter next week when the Cats return to Baytec Stadium for the AFL curtain raiser against Springvale.
“They are not a bad team. They played Frankston yesterday and won pretty easily,” he said.
“They have got a fair crew from the St Kilda senior team and a lot of their VFL players have been around and played in a number of premierships,” he said.
