I just dont see Chapman as a Naughton type
It would be interesting to see where our recruiters/Longmuir see Chapman’s future position with us. I’d they see him as a forward/tall wingman then I am all for bringing him in with our first. If they see him as a defender then I just think we will have a massive log jam in the back 6 moving forward meaning someone like Young could ask to be traded back to Vic

Agree - however Young will end up in the midfield IMHO.
I want the world's tallest wingman or Henry and just have a forward line of Henry, Henry and Walters and kick grubber kicks in from CHB
I agree, but maybe the club rank him that highly that he is #6 on our board, and the next best option left at our pick is a forward/mid we rank #12. In that case we pick Chapman even if we view him as a defender. But if we have Chapman ranked say #11, then it is a hard decision.
The club would also know best about the fitness of Hamling and Pearce, or the ability to move some of our current defenders into different positions.
I don't think we would be risking Young. The players we would lose would be the likes of Hughes and Duman, which may happen regardless.

I think most clubs who are particularly keen on Chapman would view him as a mid. Those that don't rate him probably don't see him being able to transition into anything other than a defender.
Quite amusing this stuff about Perkins...would think a few Victorian clubs might think twice about him too re saying he is doesn't want to go interstate. Maybe he is like Buckley (remember that) when he got drafted by Brisbane, was a dead cert he would soon go to Collingwood as that was where he wanted to be.
Wonder what club Perkins is passionate about and supports....cause I'll be that where he finishes up if he turns out okay.

Probably with everything that's been said by the club and with what likely will be available at our pick, I reckon the best available 189+cm player with heaps of pace and a demonstrated ability to kick a goal or five might be the go at our first selection.

Easily could.
From AFL Draft Central Chapmans key attributes from his testing are:
COMBINE TESTING HIGHLIGHTS:
National Combine:
2km time trial – 6 minutes, 30 seconds
Preseason:
Running Vertical Jump (L) – 78cm
Speed (20m) – 3.03 seconds
Endurance (yo-yo test) – 21.6
So speed, endurance and athletic ability basically. Is there a reason why we wouldn't see him as a wingman in the future?

Bell basically said we do. That or inside long term. Not sure how quick he plays but 3.03 is decent for 193cm.

Ask and you shall receive. Don't think the term "ball player" will be used too many times in relation to young josh.

What are clubs saying about this elite talent who wants to stay home?
Player agent Robbie D'Orazio compares the Archie Perkins feedback to Adam Cerra's path at Fremantlewww.afl.com.au
Have zero doubt this approach does players little favours long term. IMO probably shows a mental weakness. 18yo can’t live away from family is a bit small town mentality or arrogance either way not a great start.
May be not initial contracts but what happens if Perkins is stuck behind their first choice midfielders for two years, alternatively when his FA comes up significantly reduces prospective contract offers with vic clubs only.
Cerra took the chance now a first choice player in a side where he will be in centre squat next decade.
When RFA comes around have zero doubt the amount of cash he will receive from Freo or others will Ben more than Smith.
