Chappy's 150th

[winty]

Haven't seen this posted anywhere, but this Saturday's Chappy's 150th game. Well deserved milestone too. Was made to work his butt off to get a regular spot in the side early in his career, but he would have to be one of the first picked these days.

True barometer of the side, and one player who you can rely on to put in 110% week in, week out.

My favorite player, determined with fantastic skills and a true leader within the team. Don't see too many "hard tags" on him!

 

[bingle]

he's a gun!!!!
there's no two ways about it

 

[kicksome]

took the reigns of being the classiest player in the game when ricco retired. Love that man chapman.

He'll become the third Geelong player from the 1999 draft to reach 150 games (behind Cameron Ling and Joel Corey).

The total of 150 gamers from the 1999 draft will reach four early next year when Corey Enright reaches the milestone.

Fan favourite, we love Chappy! Hopefully see that shiny head another 150 times.

Onya Chappy!!
Very important to our club.

 

[stevie20]

Well done Chappy!

My mate and I nicknamed him "The Nugget" when he arrived as we recognised gold when we saw it.

You never get anything less than his best effort when you see him out on the park.

You are a star Chappy and without your speech last year - that flag may have eluded us.

You are the GFC Chaps.

Congrats Chappy on a wondeful career to date.

Will look forward to seeing you flying high on the backs of other for many years to come.

 

[rocker_oz33]

from gazza's taxi ride to training to now one of the first players picked,you also have made a name for your self as a great player and maybe future skipper of the club,and we all hope your a happy chappy for another 150 games....

 

[cats2rise]

Awesome stuff Chappers. Love his hardness and that bald head.

 

[gazzasuperstar29]

Well done Chappy on 150 games. More good news is that Chappy is going to re-sign in the next few days so we'll see hopefully 150 more in the blue and white.

ONYA CHAPPY!!! Not quite the angry little bastard he used to be, but Chappy still sits on the aggro throne left by Buddha in my book. Well done getting to 150 champ. Your GF screamer will live on forever like Jezza's does!

On a side note my first screen name was gonna be 'Bless 'is Bald Head' in honour of Chappy, but for some odd reason I kept getting knockbacks. I was trying to register from public computers in China at the time, so maybe that has something to do with it...

P.S You're well over a hundred games, where's all the bald, angry babies we need for our future father/son picks? Get on the job, son!

 

[Redemptionin09]

What a Gun!!!
Well Done Chappy you deserve it mate

congrats chappy, hope there is many more to come

You are one of the most respected players in the league by Geelong and non-Geelong fans alike, for your honesty, humility, bravery, hard work and selflessness. Many of us fans see you as the reason and inspiration for our drought-breaking premiership win last year. Hopefully we'll see you win a few more flags and lead the club as captain in the future. Congratulations on your 150th and many many more games to come. Well done Chappy!

 

[Duskfire]

He needs to hurry and have a few sons dammit. A forward line composed of two or three mini chapmans would be awesome.

 

[couchy555]

Cpl years ago, when the cats werent goin so great, i had an essendon supporter say to me he thought Chappy was a gun. An essendon supporter?!?!.


I wonder if Chappy didnt say his comments after the cats loss against north last year, would things of changed? never know, but glad he did.
Super to hear he's about to sign.

 

[Claude Balls]

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but Ling and Corey have already achieved this mark, and I believe Enright will follow Chapman up within the next year....

That will mean that Geelong is quitely likely to have selected four 200 gamers in the one draft (1999)! You'd imagine each of them will play the required number of games to reach this milestone, and wouldn't it be a feat of great recruitment if it eventuates....

That is very true. I have a Collingwood mate who absolutely detests anything or anyone Geelong... but has alot of respect for Chappy.

Awesome work Chap, congratulations.

True barometer of the side

Well done chappy, but why do people constantly say he is the barometer of the side?

2006 - Had a great year personally, but the team was crap
2007 - Had an ordinary year (thanks to OP), but the team was sensational

surely that line can be put to rest.
