Channel 7 confirmed O'Bree. No word from 7 on Chip.

gOLLy, you know steamin don't you ?

I haven't heard anything relating to Chip missing Monday ?

I'm surprised by frawley being ruled out so early when there's meant to be another training session on Sunday. I think i remember Bailey referring to us having the session today and sunday when talking about Sylvia's chances of playing.

Is it possible that the comments you heard on SEN weren't Bailey referring to the fine we copped for having Frawley withdraw late last week??? I guess part of me is hoping that was the case because Frawley is really becoming the defender that this team cannot do without.

Could be possible. Haven't seen it reported on any of the websites and there isn't a link to confirm yet on this thread....

Spoke to Chip last saturday night and he told me would play this week no worries.

This could be his moment...He must play a Blinder though. No excuses.

He must play a blinder? Come on...

I assume you're not acquainted with WYL.

Swan was the rumored out for Collingwood with a groin strain.

I'd imagine Frawley will play, if there was any issue with his back surely we'd take no risks with the week off coming up.

Could be the very reason he misses...hopefully not. Go Dees!
