Mark Chaffey was a solid soldier for our Mighty Tigers.

Couldn't fault his career, did the most he could with his abilities.

Thumbs up from me

Chaffs did well coming from a baseball background. As Chuck said he got the best out of himself given his abilities and limitations. Not a great kick especially as precise footskills off HB became more important than ever in the later years of his career. 

Best memory of Chaffs is that crazy up and under bouncing goal he got against the Swans in round 21, 2000 with poor Troy Luff on hands and knees trying to stop it going through and missing every bounce lol.
