Injury Paul Chapman - calf strain

[S for September]

Just heard on SEN that Chappy might have done a hamstring again at training. We will see...

 

[LongBomb]

Let's hope not.

 

[_Me_]

Let's hope not.

Why would they be training today given we are playing tmrow

 

[Pure_Ownage]

I doubt they would be training today given they are more than likely flying today.

 

[Rellik666]

^^Where does it say it happened today??

Logical assumption.

News like that spreads quickly, if he'd done it yesterday I would expect we'd have heard before today.

SEN has heaps of these rumours each week and the vast majority don't pan out.

Anyway, we'll see tonight I spose.

 

[UpTheGuts]

To be fair it wasn't some random caller saying it though.

 

[Baudolino]

There's very little point in fabricating something like this, so if SEN have a source in Geelong who gave them the story, then I see no reason to doubt its veracity.

It was the fantasy football guys who were saying that his absence due to a hammie would be a big issue for many teams etc.

True, I just find it hard to trust SEN.

They are pretty much the boy who cried wolf when it comes to rumours.

But I could be wrong on this one, we shall see.

James Kelly tweeted that the team trained in Geelong yesterday and won't be training again before the match. There would have been plenty of media at the airport when the team left so it would have been easy to spot if Chappy wasn't on the flight.

You are right, of course. I seem to remember one about a month ago that all but confirmed Tom Rockliff had broken his wrsit at training. No training that day and he was playing golf at the time. and was fine

Watching him run around last Friday night, I was thinking that Chappy's hammies have stood up well this year. God let's hope SEN have got it wrong. Chappy's in good form

 

[MC Extra Dollop]

Hope it's just an SEN rumour. They don't exactly seem to be too stringent with the rumours they run on there. Anyway, as mentioned, we'll find out soon enough, because if it is a hammy, I doubt they're going to name him this evening just to keep up a facade.

SEN = Sensational Entertainment Network

This is the same station that had Barry Hall doing his knee in a pre-season games a couple of years ago.He played the next week.

And of course the Brendan Fevola memorabilia sale; they were practically doing eulogies for the guy.

 

[Ikan Bodoh]

There was a moment on Friday night when it looked like he did his hammy again and he limped around for a while, but he came out afterwards and finished off the game. Might be related to that . . .

My money is it was an Elvis impersonator in a white jumpsuit and the SEN journalists naturally couldn't tell the difference.

 

[S for September]

Pretty sure they trained this morning before the flight.

 

[you pick one]

What's the problem he got through a grand final on one,this is easier.

 

[Jhye Clark 13]

In all seriousness I did see him limp away from a contest early in the last quarter against Hawthorn.

I was worried at the time, but it looked like an accidental kick to the leg and he played the game out.

 

[topic97]

Lmfao, you mean the same SEN that reported Ablett & Chapman possible late withdrawrals shortly before the 07 & 08 grand finals?!

 

[Topper]

Pretty sure they trained this morning before the flight.

Yeah, James Kelly tweeted 3 hours ago that they wont be training at Subi this arvo because they trained before they left.

SEN rumours are absolute rubbish, they report any call or text from any old Joe Blow, they're so desperate to get the exclusive they'll go to air with anything

I listen to sen alot and they are nowhere near this bad.

It seems the media's observation skills might not be as good as you credit them for.........

If true, Chapman & Kelly out is going to make it very tough for the boys to grab a win. It'll punch a big hole in our midfield.
