GEELONG forward Paul Chapman is a late withdrawal from the Cat’s game against Collingwood.

Chapman could not recover from a minor knee injury sustained in last week’s win over Richmond.

Taking Chapman’s place in the Geelong line-up is Travis Varcoe for his first match of 2008.

Varcoe played 18 games last year for 15 goals and will be keen to establish a spot in the Cats side.
