Okay I've been reading on the north board that he wont be at the cats next year? I assume this is bullshit but am hoping someone can confirm this because i love chappy.
Is it true he hasnt resigned?

Forgive my lack of a source, but interviews with Brian Cook and Chappy in the media have said on his contract:
-It's virtually a done deal, it's not the money that's causing the hold up, just dotting some i's and crossing some t's
-Chappy's contract is a 'high priority' for Cook

He'll re-sign.
 
yeah rumours continue about him possibly changing clubs, but this is so freakin hard to understand. he's one of the most passionate guys on the list (quotes after north game last yr for eg) and definitely does not seem the type of bloke to chase the coin...any reason he leaves his contract till last to sign? my mates reckon hes doing it for his ego, but again, does not seem the type of bloke...:confused:
 
Chappy is the soul of the cats he always has been no way he is going anywhere.. He will be a cats player till he is finished.
 
Just throwing ideas around but would it be reasonable to believe that the club may have to wait till the end of the year to be able to offer chappy as much as they can.

For example, the fact that Prismall is still on the list but may go at the end of the year would likely free up 200k or so.

You'd think the cats will be trying to max out the salary cap to keep these guys but when would they know for sure how much they can offer chappy?

The day Chappy no longer plays for Geelong is the day he retires. He's a Cat for life

I heard him and Harley were waiting till everyone else signed up, and Chapman was looking at whatever was left. The man bleeds blue and white and if he leaves i need to buy myself a new jumper.

Whoa, please watch your hyphens, or lack thereof, I nearly had a heart attack when I saw resigned and not re-signed, :eek:
 
for gods sake said:
Thats what Harley said on the radio, Chappy will sign first then Harley will take what is left over:thumbsu:

if so pretty decent bloke, would you think that chapman might wait until you fellas have won the gf again, then move on for a greater challange perhaps?
 
It is that obvious that Chappy's manager is up to something to squeeze as much coin from the Cats as possible. The game of both Port and WCE coming out stating they are after him is a fairly good representation of what his manager is up to.

Does that mean he wants to leave? Probably not.

The assumption that they are awaiting what they are doing with Prismall is probably a little off base. We will delist 3-4 anyway, so there is a little bit of cash saved as rookie contracts maybe not as high or of equal value to some we may move on. Therefore, savings for Chappy's contract. Similarly we have two more on the veteran's list, more savings for Chappy.

If he leaves, I'd be totally gobsmacked.

Then we are in trouble when Gaz comes up again.:rolleyes: and Joel Corey, Kelly Nablett and MEgan + others
 
Some short memories on this Board. Wasn't there a guy called King on the list last year?

Think they might want to save some of that for a J Selwood that seems to be going alright. And in 2-3 years some of our veterans may move on, meaning their half-price contracts become full-price for the next gun players moving through the ranks.

Bottom line - everyone has to sacrifice some to stay at a successful club.
 
Thanks guys! Always thought he would be a cat for life but just thought some of you guys might no a little bit more!! Love Chappy and dont care when he re signs just as long as he does!
Also as someone said, hope they have some money saved for a J.Selwood, because want him to be a cat for life too, freak of nature!
