Johnson 90% Chance To Return

Geelong's gun forward Stevie Johnson should return this week much to the relief of many anxious DreamTeam coaches ahead of the DT GF.

Johnson has been struggling with a hip problem for the last couple of months and has missed a fair chunk of footy.

But Geelong coach Mark Thompson said on Tuesday, "More than likely Steve will play, he'd be a 90 per cent chance to play this week, again, we'll have to see how he pulls up."

Johnson's inclusion could be crucial for DT coaches' forward lines, with his Geelong teammate Paul Chapman doubtful to play this weekend with a hamstring worry.

Thompson admitted they hadn't made a decision yet on Chapman although scans showed very little damage.
