Wouldn't you know, I finally get to hear some games because they're scheduled for the afternoon and what happens? Chaffey is delisted!! Just my luck!

Well, let's hand it to the young guys and see what they can do!

     Skipper Wayne Campbell (shoulder), Rory Hilton (knee) and Matthew Rogers (retired) weren't considered for selection, while Mark Chaffey has been dropped.

    Chaffey has been named as an emergency along with David Rodan and Adam Houlihan.

Incidentally, Chaffey did play for Coburg this week and did a great job, as reported below by the Herald Sun.

    Rookie-listed Tiger Marc Dragicevic continued his strong form for Coburg, kicking three goals to earn best-on-ground honours.

    Former Crow Ben Marsh, draftee Nathan Foley and Mark Chaffey were also named among the best in a victory that pushed Coburg within reach of a top-four berth.

David Clayton's newsletter reports the following:

    Have a look at David Flood's quotes from last week's VFL game about some of the players we promoted this week:
    ------
    Mark Chaffey (9 kicks, 6 handballs, 4 marks, 1 goal): Good four-quarter effort without starring. Came back with the right attitude and competed well. Certainly didn't let himself or the side down. Next step to hit every target when coming out of defence.
