Chapman anyone? [Dan Richardson: Not interested]

[Wrenny]

So we lose White, get Salem in the draft and Chappy in the PSD, I'd be pretty happy with that. Sign Chappy to be assistant/development coach after a year or 2. Win Win

 

[TheCuzEffect]

I think people forget that we were only 2 points out of the top 4... had we had chappy for the Freo game and both Carlton games we probably would have got further ahead. I'm a yes get him for the right price.

 

[SA TIGER]

Snag him as our super sub!!!

 

[Equus]

Bump.

Barrett: Richmond shows interest in Chapman

 

[Bird Man]

anyone know word for word what barret said or a good summary ?

Just that we've shown some interest, then Wallace went on to reiterate that he believes Richmond is the best fit for Chapman due to our lack of small/medium forwards

UpTheGuts

"I understand that Paul Chapman has attracted the interest of Richmond and that interest is set to progress to discussions between the club and Chapman". Or something like that.
Plough then waded in and said he'd be perfect.

I'm really undecided. I'd have him as a pocket, but I wouldn't want us making a big/ long commitment to him. I have no interest in winning a $ auction over him

 

[tigs2010]

He'd be perfect for our side to ease the gap between having nothing and McDonough. If he gets injured then McDonough plays. No reason why they can't both play anyway.

 

[tigs2010]

Richmond recruiting philosophy now moves to:

Draft Mc's
Free Agent Chappy's

 

[rfctigerarmy]

In my opinion, McDonough looks more like a midfielder than a forward pocket specialist anyway. I don't think he'll end up being the forward pocket type we need.

He will probably play Chapman type role. Half forward/Mid. Why not learn from the best.

 

[DrunkOnCheese]

I'd love Chapman at our club, a strong player with leadership skills!

 

[TiggerMan22]

3 time premiership player, norm smith medalist and still playing good footy. Enough said

 

[Nostradumbass]

I'd be happy having him here.

 

[bigange]

Just imagine Chappy playing forward 70% of the game, pinch hitting in the middle allowing Cotch to spend more time forward and kicking 20-30 goals.

Reckon Chappy will be the signing of the season for whoever can snag him, assuming they are a contender.

 

[Grechy]

Will his body hold up though?

Also is the club big enough for 2 Chappy's? Who do we officially call Chappy?

Back Chappy & Forward Chappy - Chappy bookends.

 

[Martin#4]

Who do we officially call Chappy?

We'll need some sort of competition in the pre-season to determine who will be called Chappy.

A robustly contested Chap-Off.

 

[Martin#4]

Back Chappy & Forward Chappy - Chappy bookends.

Not enough room for 2 Chappy's on the list I'm afraid. That's just poor list management IMO.

 

[Harmichael]

I'm just surpised Chaplin was never given the nickname "Charlie".

 

[CHIMP MAGNET]

Matt White, Robin Nahas, or Paul Chapman

It's an absolute no ****ing brainer

 

[Capitano_Cotch]

Lose: Matt White
Gain: Paul Chapman

Where do I sign?

Make it happen, tiges.

 

[Tzatziki_Man]

Club want Chapman to play 4 week blocks. That's the idea floating around.

They're not expecting 22 games out of him, they know if they can manage Chapman well, and he plays well himself, they may possibly get 2 really good years out of him.

So Chapman would play 4 weeks, get a week off, rinse and repeat. That's the idea, gives Coburg players the chance to get some senior experience and if they prove themselves, the club won't hesitate to give Chappy an extra week off.

I am all over that.
