To continue what has been a great thread...

Chapman withdrawn from the Geelong side this week with a calf injury.

Calf injuries are generally a sign that the end is very near...

I would prefer our culture not be so corrosive to talent. Sewell, Enright, Chapman - yes they are a sort term solution but we need help to fix a culture of ease and laziness and they will help. Mor

Chapman has been a battering ram and is getting slower and slower. I love the guy's character, but he's one calf injury away from not playing again.. And I disagree with you on more kids not being t

Chappy may look past it at the cats, but he is quality and would be in the top 5-10 players at our club easy, regadless of if he was a better player 2 years ago I'd love to see him in our team

The Geelong Culture is strong due to a good deal with the AFL over their round as much as it is their excellence on field .

We cant replicate their off-field bonus every home game but we can try to emulate their belief and attitude in big games .

Buying some of their retirees as on field player-coahes is a low percentage move in my opinion.

Just get them in as mid-field coach as soon as possible .

True.

The calf is often regarded as an "old man's injury".

and we signed Jamar to a 3-yr deal.

Chapman as a free agent, at $300-$350k over 2yrs is a good option. He showed agst the Hawks that he has the toughness, skills and ability to be at top of the game. We missed him in 1999 draft.

Culture, and inspiring to the young group. Can you imagine Chappy leading Viney, Jonesy, Jordie Mck etc into battle

Absolutely can. I think he'd help Jonesy's game to a higher level. Would be exciting for the young uns coming our way. And as has been suggested, entice Ling too as midfield coach.

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
