Geelong could play Chapman and Enright
Thursday September 8, 2:22 PM

ABC

Geelong's Paul Chapman and Corey Enright are still a chance to play against Sydney in Friday night's semi-final at the Sydney Cricket Ground.

Enright has been troubled by knee and shoulder injuries while Chapman is battling a hamstring strain.

Defender Tom Harley said both players travelled with the team to Sydney today and could still win spots in the side.

Harley said Geelong's build-up to the game had been low-key compared to the hype and expectation that surrounded their finals run last September.

"As opposed to last year, we went in in the top four and we've maybe swept under the radar a bit this time round," he said.

"It's been good - we've thrown a couple of good performances together so [we are] looking forward to Friday night."

Harley said he expected the contest with the Swans to be a physical one.

He said he was unconcerned about reports Sydney were using their anger over last week's narrow loss to West Coast as motivation.

"That's great that they're angry... we will probably be pretty angry as well," he said.

"It's a cut-throat last chance for everyone and I think you see the best of players and sides in those sort of situations."

I'd doubt it but if he does, it makes our side so much better. He adds so much up forward and through the midfield but i just cant see it happening

More or less silly than doing it in a relatively meaningless H&A game?
I'd say more because even if a player breaks down in a meaningless H&A game they (usually) have enough time to make it back for the important games (i.e. finals). Agree that the decision against Richmond was a mistake though.

But imagine the fallout if he played this week and broke down. Would be ugly.

Dont say he wont play. Why would they spend money on flying him up there and getting him to train if he isnt going to play. I wouldnt be suprised if he played. Why wasnt Dave Johnson in the team?

Risking a hamstring injured player in cut-throat final = silly
Playing up a hamstring all week to be worse than it is and then unleashing the man last minute on an unsuspecting side throwing their plans out or lulling them in to thinking he doesn't need full attention because he is injured = brilliant.

If only us humble supporters really knew what was going on....

Very unlikely he will play though....
