Port ignores rumours linking Troy Chaplin to Richmond

PORT Adelaide is ignoring reports key defender Troy Chaplin is a target of Richmond.
Weeks after Chaplin being reported to being close to signing a two-year extension at Alberton, there is surprise at the Power that the Tigers supposedly want Chaplin while coach Damien Hardwick has developed a defence of the future with Dylan Grimes and Alex Rance.
"We are negotiating with Troy and his manager,'' said Power football operations chief Peter Rohde today.
Chaplin is managed by Liam Pickering. Port says it has not had to deal with rival offers during the negotiations.

Stay where you are, Troy.

Im not that excited, boy is there a better FB than rancer going around id like to see that :shh.
If we are to go after a free agent or a big fish, we need a goal kicking freak....not sure if there are likely to be an available...but i dnt reckon chaplin is worth the effort. Peter McCormack II :lol

I would have been happy with Carlisle from Port. The big body to take on the monsters our defence needs which would free up Griffiths or Astbury when fit to go to CHF.
Chaplain is another defender with the size of Rance McGuane Grimes Dea which we already have.
-
If Carlile is on the outer at Port due to fitness or lack of then they won't want to lose Chaplin. Anyway I'd guess the Club must still feel we are light on for quality defenders with Grimes' hammy probs two years in a row and Griffs only now putting consecutive games together. Then there's Astbury and Moore only returning from serious injuries.

Richmond earmarks Port Adelaide's Troy Chaplin as a potential free agency acquisition
Jon Ralph
From: Herald Sun
July 07, 2012
RICHMOND has earmarked Troy Chaplin as a potential free agency acquisition despite Port Adelaide's confidence it will re-sign the key defender.
The Tigers have already publicly expressed the need to bolster their defensive stocks, with Chaplin out of contract at season's end.
At just 26 and capable of playing on the monsters of the AFL, he would seamlessly slot into Richmond's key defensive line-up.
Chaplin was disappointed to be shopped around by Port Adelaide in the trade period last year, with the Tigers interested as far back as then.
They are one of four clubs to express interest in the former Maryborough boy, although he bought a house in Adelaide last year and is not desperate to leave the club.
Port Adelaide football operations manager Peter Rohde has offered Chaplin a new two-year deal.
But with the interest in him considerable, opposition clubs are still confident they are a chance to lure him away.
Richmond's defensive depth has been tested this week with an injury to Dylan Grimes, meaning Luke McGuane comes back into the line-up.
Richmond's Fighting Tiger Fund has given the club the funds to enable it to go after opposition players.
And with a history of recent success, list analysis manager Blair Hartley has clearly been given instructions to lure more talent.
Hartley comes from Port Adelaide, but while the club will go after Chaplin it will also spend the next nine weeks assessing its own defensive stocks.
Young tall Ben Griffiths could yet make it at centre half-back, while Kelvin Moore is working hard in the VFL to prove he is over his repeated hip issues.
David Astbury has finally overcome knee issues but will play next week in the VFL after some soft-tissue concerns.
Chaplin is one of a number of defenders the Tigers are assessing, with the club also taking an interest in St Kilda's James Gwilt before he re-signed.
Essendon's Tayte Pears has struggled with injury and is also on the borderline of selection given Jake Carlisle's exceptional form, but the Tigers are not interested in the full-back.

Who writes this poo. Chaplin is a 3rd tall and most of the time he plays loose man.

The Adelaide Advertiser mentions a straight swap for McGuane lol.
POWER'S QUICK FIX
PORT Adelaide wants to deepen its player list - and strengthen its leadership group - by hitting the free-agent market. Of the 81 free-agents available this season these are the players still available and capable of tempting the Power.
...
LUKE McGUANE (Richmond) Defender. Age: 25
Prospect: Skill base a concern. Possible swap for Troy Chaplin.

You would probably bag Chaplin if he played for Richmond. Chappy doesn't play key position half the time. Trengove & Carlisle take the two best forwards while Chaplin plays as a floater. I'd take Troy at Richmond but I wouldn't give anything up for him. Especially not McG ;D

we see it different then. hes held their backline together for the last 3 yrs. defensively a better player than rance but hey thats just more opinion.
chaplin rance and grimes sounds okay to me. would even play moore with those three if he actually shows he can still play.
you may get your wish this week if griffiths doesnt come up. well part of it with moore mcguane and rance taking thursfields spot. its almost like returning to the wallace days.i wonder what odds one could get on griffiths playing forward this week with moore in the team and mcguane lol named back.

Trengove won their B&F last year from CHB and Carlisle gets the full forward. Chaplin has been dropped a few times and he frustrates Port people. He can play. But I just don't like a big man that lacks heart at times. ;D

Speaking of key defenders that could end up on the market, on the Footy Show last night Barrett was claiming Ben Reid is worth $400k p.a. and could be the one squeezed out of the Pies after they do deals with Cloke, Beams, etc. That's not that far away from McGuane's rumoured contract ($300-350k p.a over 3 years) IIRC according to Jack ;D.
-
Keen for Reid.
-
I would have Reid as a No1 target if he was available. If he did become available then $500,000-$550,000 per year should be the offer, thats the type of figure the Pies would find almost impossible to put in their cap. I would also be looking at Caddy, he wants Essendon but Essendon dont have anything to bargain with. We have the compo pick and our 1st rounder which will be around the pick 10 mark. We have starting points to a successful trading period.

As good as Caddy is, wouldn't give up our pick 10 plus a compo pick for him. Agree though, would look at him.

Reid best loose man since Maxwell :lol Unofficial floater. stuff him, swing it on over to Merrett. He loves the Lions but if we got him :shh whoa
-
No way. Reid plays well on the big guys because he is a good reader of the play and has the defender tools down pat. He only got beaten last Friday because he got moved on to Walker who killed Reid with speed. I reckon sauce is a ripper, but Reid would easily be straight up key back post in our 22. Would be around for yonks too.

Ben Reid isn't coming to Richmond. Gets killed against good forwards anyway.

Chaplin courted by rival clubs
Jake Niall
The Age
July 26, 2012
FOUR or five clubs, including St Kilda and Richmond, have shown interest in Port Adelaide free agent and key defender Troy Chaplin.
But Port, which has been fending off Geelong's advances on another Victorian, Travis Boak, is in discussions with Chaplin's management about a new contract and is ''pretty confident'' he will stay.
The Tigers are understood to be the strongest suitor for Chaplin, 26, who is a restricted free agent and can seek offers from other clubs which Port has the right to match.
Richmond has been in the market for a mature tall back, having shored up its ruck problem this year by acquiring Ivan Maric from the Crows. Chaplin played one season with Tigers coach Damien Hardwick - his first year at Port was Hardwick's last - while he is also well known to Richmond assistant coach and former teammate Brendon Lade and opposition and list analyst Blair Hartley, who worked for Port previously.

St Kilda, too, has registered an interest with Chaplin's management, the Saints also having a significant weakness at full-back, having lost journeyman Zac Dawson to Fremantle without finding a mature replacement. St Kilda's tight salary cap and substantial contracts have not given it much space to pursue players from rival clubs, though that situation is likely to change in the next couple of years as club greats retire.
Port Adelaide football operations manager Peter Rohde said the Power was in talks with the management of Chaplin, who is originally from Maryborough but said to have settled well in Adelaide.
''We're talking with his management, we're a fair way down the track, but like a lot of free agents, I think there's a little bit of water still to go under the bridge,'' Rohde said.
He said the club was ''pretty confident'' of retaining Chaplin, who has played 138 games, including all 16 this year.
Chaplin is seeking a new deal of at least two years, with the interest from Victorian clubs perhaps improving his bargaining position.

We've put a 4-year offer on the table for Chaplin ...
So easy for free agents at Port and Crows to walk away
Michelangelo Rucci
From: The Advertiser
August 01, 2012
FREE agents Troy Chaplin at Port Adelaide and Chris Knights at the Crows will have easy paths to new AFL clubs next year.
Chaplin's exit from the Power is almost confirmed.
The 26-year-old defender has a four-year offer from Richmond and Port will not match it. This means that Chaplin can walk to Tigerland in October without any roadblocks.
He is a "restricted" free agent. He is compelled to stay at Alberton only if the Power matches any offer from a rival AFL club.
In return for Chaplin's loss to Richmond, Port will be compensated with draft picks.
Knights is an "unrestricted" free agent. He can leave West Lakes regardless of how any contract offer from a rival club matches up with a deal from Adelaide. So far, Knights has no contract to consider from the Crows.
Beyond contracts, Knights may now feel his chances of finding a regular place in an AFL line-up are elsewhere.
He has played just 20 of a possible 39 games since 2010 when the midfielder-forward signed with Adelaide despite attention from other clubs.
Adelaide football operations chief Phil Harper said yesterday: "We have spoken to Chris' manager and have decided to leave it until the end of the year.
"That does not mean we will not offer Chris an extension.
"But in the end, as a free agent, it is Chris' call."
This is the SA landscape of the first round of free agency that changes how players move between AFL clubs.
Eight SA-based players are among the game's 62 free agents - two at Adelaide and six at the Power.
At Port, there is Chaplin, captain Dom Cassisi, midfielders Danyle Pearce and Steven Salopek, defender Jacob Surjan and forward Brett Ebert.
Cassisi has been taken out of the free-agency market by signing a two-year extension.
There is unlikely to be any rush on Pearce, Salopek, Surjan or Ebert. The long-anticipated passage of Pearce to expansion franchise Greater Western Sydney as an "uncontracted" wildcard recruit has reached a dead end with his form lapse.
At Adelaide, there is Knights and veteran defender Michael Doughty who is most likely to retire at season's end.
Chaplin is said to have as many as five AFL clubs prepared to chase him. None is as bullish as Richmond where his currency is being enhanced by three former Port identities - coach Damien Hardwick, assistant coach Brendan Lade and recruiting manager Blair Hartley.
The other major contender will be St Kilda after coach Scott Watters confirmed his club's search for a mature-age defender in the free-agent market.
Chaplin's status at Port - at least among the supporter group - is shaky after his recent turnover kicks in defence have become too costly.
He is unlikely to have been placed in the "must keep" column in Port's recent review of its player list.
And with the Power reluctant to test Chaplin as a forward, the 139-game player is on an unstoppable path to Richmond.

Sounds good that the club is being bullish
I don't know too much about him? What's the general thought around chaplin??

More info what's his scalps like?
"costly turnovers"
Perfect will slot nicely into our defensive half
Welcome to Punt Road son

Id love to get knights to RFC :pray

You kidding? Each to their own but the bloke is very average
We should now put all our energy into Cloke and Caddy
Caddy is the only one that will cost picks
End the year on a positive note

Another C grade player whose kicking in recent weeks dont provide much confidence. Welcome to Punt Road. He will fit in with Houli and Grigg. :help

It's all about creating competition for spots and depth. If he is battling with Post & Astbury for the third tall spot that is fantastic. I want to see Griffiths moved forward next year leaving Grimes (injury prone) and Rance first dibs on the first two tall defensive spots
-
He's mentally checked out of Port. He's lost interest in being there and started playing like it. Lol at MadTiger2010 bagging him out because it means Post won't get a game. :thumbsup
-
Chaplin is much better than a C grade player. Is a fine footballer and will be a very welcome addition to our defensive stocks. Chaplin with Rance and Grimes :gotigers

Tend to agree, as much as a KP backman is what we need, I'd rather us spend our cash and resources on a KP forward and extra midfield depth.
Think you can find KP backman if you draft well and develop. Most decent KP backman are picked up mid draft.
With Rance, Grimes, Griffiths and now Post looking ok as back up and with Astbury as well, I don't think Chaplin is were we should be putting our resources...
-
Post isn't looking ok.
We need some depth if players go down, and having Chaplin, Rance, Grimes, Griffiths and Astbury (if he comes on) as 5 choices for tall backmen, we are looking good.
Also provides some flexibility with the use of Griff, as we know he can play forward, which could allow TV to spend some time in the ruck and alleviate the load on Maric. Then again, they could do the same thing by bringing in Cloke (TV helping out in the ruck).
I agree, need another inside midfielder to back up Foley. They'll either trade for one or draft one though as I don't think there are any of quality as free agents, happy to be corrected though? :thumbsup

Make the GC an offer of our first plus mcnugget and Jackson
That will do it. Caddy will be a gun and a great replacement if one of our mids go down
Then grab Cloke
Maloney and Hille/Gorringe via PSD and we are set
-
Mad tiger would be spewin.
Seriously though, thought 4 years is a bit much?
Should have been 3. Let's offer Jordie Sanchez a 5 year contract while we're at it as well.
-
If things turn out like you say Daniel, we are set. I have no doubt we are pushing for Cloke behind the scenes and if Caddy wants to come home, we will put ourselves forward as an option.
If we added Cloke, Chaplin and Caddy in the off season . . . . :gotigers :clapping
Mad tiger would be spewin.

4 years on a 26 year old is ok, will be 30 when time is up on the contract. I don't care so much about the years, to me it is more the $$$ attached to it. I've got faith that they aren't paying overs, not this new footy dept. we have anyways. If it was Wallace and co. it would have been a 5 year deal on $450k :banghead ;)
-
Chaplain would currently be a better option to anyone we have on the list and provide good support to Rance & Co. If Port are interested in McGuane, they probably wouldn't not be now - but we should offer him anyway just to be nice ( and to get rid of him). Besides Port have got a bit out of Rodan & Shultz so they should be happy with McGuano.
Chris Knights would be a handy player in our midfield. Ivan MAric used to share a house with him when team mates at Adelaide - perhaps there's a link there?

Id love to get knights to RFC :pray

-
last time I checked we don't have any 100 kg 195cm defenders...haven't we been crying out for a "gorilla keeper"
they don't develop over night .
-
Id love to get knights to RFC :pray
what would u do to him,Bo ?????
-
Chaplin! Meh?
Feel the same way mate
Port are not overly upset it seems at the moment Suppose we will have to go with Blair on this one
-
Id love to get knights to RFC :pray
I agree bojangles.
I think he's got a good size to him and would be a big improvement on our current skinny small forwards. And he should be cheap.
And it would be great to call out the name Knights again. :thumbsup

Power denies Chaplin link
By Harry Thring
Wed 01 Aug, 2012
PORT Adelaide coach Matthew Primus has rejected claims key defender Troy Chaplin has received a four-year offer from Richmond, saying that Chaplin denies any contact with rival clubs.
With Chaplin's status as a restricted free agent, he is only permitted to leave the Power if they can't match the offers from rival clubs.
It was reported in The Advertiser newspaper on Wednesday that as many as five AFL clubs were chasing the 26-year-old and that Richmond had already put a four-year deal on the table.
Primus said Chaplin had told him otherwise.
"All the discussions that we've ever had with Troy is that he hasn't spoken to anybody, his manager hasn't spoken to any other club, so we'll take Troy on that word and keep working with him," he said.
"He plays an important part for us for the rest of the year and we see him as somebody that's going to be a part of our football club.
"He's telling us the exact same thing from his point of view."
But Primus wouldn't confirm whether the Power would definitely match a rival offer for the defender.
"We'll play that through, but [as far as] he's aware, he hasn't been spoken to by anyone and we have been in contract negotiations with him," he said.
"We'll play that out and this is what free agency is all about, but Troy's certainly not happy with the article in today's paper, he says it's the furthest thing from the truth."

"hey Matt, I'm off to Richmond next year, but can I still play this weekend?"
What else is he meant to say?
-
Let's trade instead. Chaplin and Schulz for Dan Jackson and Luke McGuane
-
So what compensation will we have to give the Power draft picks to get him in ??.Dont forget it is a super draft and we have a early first rounder and 2 second picks.

What we would do is completely different to what the club would do. The admin at our club are only interested in C grade freebies not in getting serious quality players to the club.

Lacks speed and skills, he's an A Grade potato.....

And to think we already have enough complaining about poor kicks without adding Knights...

Chris Knights for half forward. I'm starting a bandwagon with Bojangles. :thumbsup
Then a mid with the first pick, three, then we are there.

What if we did a straight swap with jackson?

This guy will be very good, another pickup like the Maric deal for mine, Chaplin is a very good player in a poor side, he will be very good in a side like ours where he is supported.

How many times have you seen him play to make that judgement. If he was any good Port would have signed him up for 3+ years already.
Go on the AFL site and watch Port's last game :banghead

When did I say that about Maric? Please don't make things up. It reflects badly on your reputation and on OERs. I had hardly seen that bloke play because he was a SANFL player with Adelaide. We had to go off the stats which were almost identical to Graham's. ;D
You say Coburg reserves players have steel trap hands and all kinds of ridiculous attributes, why should we listen to your predictions? My Schulz call has me in the good books forever :lol

Like I said, looks average because he is in a poor side, get him into a decent side like Maric and there we go, gee people are quick to judge aren't they 65.... ;)

How many times have you seen him play? It's a simple question. You were in Africa for a long time so I doubt you were watching Port Adelaide games. Have you been watching them while you have been in PNG? Did you take an interest in Port and Chaplin when you lived in WA? You have quite obviously never seen the bloke play. You're saying he is soft because he plays in a poor side? He misses easy targets because he plays for a poor team? Before you started rambling, I know you didn't say any of that. But those are the knocks on him from a lot of Port Adelaide people. They are also the problems I have with Chaplin. I'd take him at our club as a 3rd tall but he's not the full back we're looking for. Alipate Carlisle has been Port's full back for years now and Trengove won a B&F from CHB last year.
So what makes you want Chappy? Tell us why you want him and tell us what his recent form has been like.
Also, your exact quote was Chaplin is a very good player in a poor side. In what stuffing world is Troy Chaplin considered a very good player?

No one was talking up Maric when we were linked to him :lol Everyone jumped on the bandwagon when he started playing good footy. And rightfully so. The bloke is a good player. Troy is someone I have watched many times and I don't rate him. So what is your problem? Tell me why I am wrong. Tell me. And dont give me this "he will be a good player in the right culture" rubbish.

Coache' I havnt seen the kid play
I've had a look at his stats on the port website, they don't look too bad. But I guess I would be looking for excellent or great as opposed to not bad.
Iyo, why shouldn't we go after him? I still don't know much about him after 8 pages in this thread
:)
-
He plays mostly as a 3rd tall or loose man. Like I said before, I'd take him as a 3rd tall but not sure we need one? He doesn't get a gig at FB or CHB for Port so why would he get one here? He is a bit soft and his kicking can be suspect. I've said that I think he can play but I think we're better off chasing a better shut down defender. Someone like Merrett.
All I want is for the people here to tell me why they think Chaplin is a very good player. WAT stated that Chaplin is a very good player but won't give his reasons.
-
so i take it your not going to tell us anything about chaplin then, WAT?
-
Fair enough coache'
Would make competition for the houlis spot?
-
so i take it your not going to tell us anything about chaplin then, WAT?
All over al.. MYOB... :thumbsup
sorry WAT, i thought when you posted that we should get Chaplin on a public forum i thought it open for discussion
-
have read elsewhere. on chaplin he was almost a tiger last yr. i know we went hard at a few kpds last yr, anyway we asked port offered him up not sure of the details the deal almost got done then port wanted more the deal fell thru.
chaplin was informed that port was offering him up hence why he has not signed this yr i suppose he didnt like being offered up. its why we have the front running i suppose.
we need backline depth we need depth everywhere. chaplins yr hasnt been great this yr but id say his heart is not in the place.
hes no world beater but hes a damn solid player and at 195/100 hes solid in other ways as well. such a big kpd who also provides plenty of rebound we sure could do with him.

i reckon he had a very good 2009 and 2010 performing both roles as a rebounder and a stopper. more than capable of playing on the bigger forwards in the comp.
some are right when they say hes playing as a third tall atm but thats not to say he cant play kpd on the big buggers.
i have no hesitation in saying hes a much better player in the air than alex rance.

If it works out for us and he becomes a decent chb then Griff can move forward.
Looks good on paper IF it works out. :thumbsup

With Grimes mostly chopping out for Rance but being injured he hasn't been able to. Or Maric but he doesnt seem to drift back much anymore (probally the rumoured groin injury). Right now we usually use an undersized Newman to try and chop out. So maybe we could do with another 3rd tall, imo.
He could also play as our FB/CHB and not Port because we don't have a steady CHB seems to change every 4 weeks. Before you ask I've never seen him play or his stats or been interested in him. Just giving my opinion on what needs he could possibly fill.

have always liked sundberg sam dwyer is another ive liked for 3 yrs or more sundberg and dwyer have been super consistent at vfl level and tick a lot of the criteria i set.they would both be upgrades on players we have and have enough good traits to suggest they would be decent afl players.
how old is head.
some of the criteria i set for looking at vfl players. kicking athleticism and smarts are they up to afl standard. also is he dominating against his peers and is he getting good finishes in best and fairests. tick these boxes and you may have a player. dont see a lot of vfl but will watch out for him.

Sore Chaplin set for surgery
By Harry Thring
Fri 03 Aug, 2012
PORT Adelaide coach Matthew Primus denies Troy Chaplin's season is over, despite the defender requiring knee surgery.
Primus said Chaplin's training in 2012 had been severely restricted because of the complaint and it was simply a matter of time before he needed an operation to fix it.
But Primus refused to rule Chaplin out for the remainder of the year, claiming he would play an important role in the short-term and, amid rumours the 26-year-old could join Richmond next season, in years to come.
"I think it might have been mentioned yesterday, he's been battling since the middle of the year just doing half our main training session and that's all he's doing a week," Primus said.
"We think Troy's still going to play a vital role for us, not only this year but in the coming years, but we'll see how goes ... it's definitely getting sorer every week.
"The closer the end of the season comes, the closer it'll come for having surgery for him."
During the week it was reported Richmond had already offered Chaplin a four-year deal starting next season, which would mean that as a restricted free agent, the Power would need to match the deal or Chaplin could simply walk.
But Primus denied the claims earlier in the week, banking on Chaplin's honesty.
"We'll play that out, and this is what free agency is all about, but Troy's certainly not happy with the article in today's paper, he says it's the furthest thing from the truth," Primus said of a report that a deal with the Tigers was as good as done.
"All the discussions that we've ever had with Troy is that he hasn't spoken to anybody, his manager hasn't spoken to any other club, so we'll take Troy on that word and keep working with him."

ok, so heres a question.
under restricted free agency, what is matching the offer?
if port were to offer more per year but a shorter contract, does that trump the longer contract being offered by us ( theoretically speaking that is)
-

Great question. I was going to ask around this exact question last night. All I could think of was that the salary and term must be matched like for like (so the poaching team dictates the terms) or it's up to the AFL to decide. Just like how they pull compo picks from their magic hat.

Maybe they could get lewis and duckworth to come up with sort of formula? :P

Yes (and if the player wants 4 years at 1 million instead of 3 years at 900k).
Also, if say Essendon offer 4 years and 1.1 million, if he wants He can choose Richmond as a preferred destination even if it's say 4 years at 1.0 million from us.

missed the first half of the yr i think but since hes been back hes been pretty prominent. someone should have given him a go last yr.
yeah its a long shot if your injured and not getting your name in the recruiters faces. stil like i have said i have liked him for a few yrs now so i would not be picking on this yr alone.

so a 4 year $1million dollar contract trumps a 3 year $900K contract?

if thats the case then it's easy to rort the system.
to me a 3 year deal for 900k craps all over 1mil over 4 years, yet it loses in the free agency stakes.
as you say though, they are not obligated to the highest bidder, as long as their preferred club outbids their current club.

I'm still not on top of this. So if I offer $900k over 3 seasons ($300k per season effective) then I get trumped by the original club's $1m over 4 seasons ($250k per season effective)?
-
I thought if the King Island U9s offer Frosty the Snowman $900k over 3, and Brighton Auskick offer $1million over 4 but Frosty wanted to go to King Island, his current club, Melbourne Girls Grammar, would have to match $900k over 3 and not a variation of years or salary. The way described so far the better deal seems rather subjective.

Free agency is about a player being able to get to another club of his choice. It stops the players association claiming the AFL trade period is a restraint of trade. The terms of the contract are essentially irrelevant as the original club won't want to hold onto a player who wants to go and play elsewhere.
As for the example of $900k over 3 years. Andy D will justify it by saying the player could get the axe after the 3 years so it's value is less than the 4 year deal at $250k p.a. (ie. more long-term security). A club like ours who are near the salary minimum of 92.5% would also front-load the contract to entice the player across and to free up salary cap space when our cubs mature and demand more $$$.

If we're raiding the Collingwood VFL side we need to have a look a Tyrren Head, this kid is a gun :shh
have always liked sundberg sam dwyer is another ive liked for 3 yrs or more sundberg and dwyer have been super consistent at vfl level and tick a lot of the criteria i set.they would both be upgrades on players we have and have enough good traits to suggest they would be decent afl players.
how old is head.
some of the criteria i set for looking at vfl players. kicking athleticism and smarts are they up to afl standard. also is he dominating against his peers and is he getting good finishes in best and fairests. tick these boxes and you may have a player. dont see a lot of vfl but will watch out for him.
Don't think Sundberg has played this year and was overlooked last year. He's no chance.
missed the first half of the yr i think but since hes been back hes been pretty prominent. someone should have given him a go last yr.
yeah its a long shot if your injured and not getting your name in the recruiters faces. stil like i have said i have liked him for a few yrs now so i would not be picking on this yr alone.
My mistake he did his knee before the draft last year so that would explain why no one picked him.

Port getting absolutely mauled by GWS atm..
Chaplin out this week.. Maybe he's worth something after all.. Port have a disgusting side...

That's BS Pope they have guns such as Butcher and Schulz

I don't like long contracts to unknowns
Could be a Frock Maclean
Tread warily rfc :- :P
-
Although our recruitment from other clubs has been a hit this year(Maric and morris)Does anyone else think that we have become slightly south australian centric in our recruitment.I mean this year it appears we are targetting Chaplin from Port Adelaide.
I dont mind if we raid both adelaide clubs until the cows come home if the pickups help us,however i just hope we arent ignoring possible gems from elsewhere.
-

You're a stuffwit. However, I forgive you for this. :clapping
-
on the topic - what's the honest thoughts on this bloke? is he what we need or is he adding security while we still try to develop the Griffiths, Astburys etc? Wary of paying overs but from what I have seen imo he could certainly help iron out one of our deficiencies in the immediate future...the other concern is how bad is the knee? thoughts?

Does the Primus saga bear any impact on whether or not this guy will leave??
Sometimes when a new app coach is in waiting players hold of contract talks, what you think??

I think the Primaus saga will have a big bearing on a lot of things at Port now
expecting Boak to change his mind
Chaplin's talks have supposedly been on hold for a few weeks now (instigated by Chaplin & his management) so I can only see this decision helping the un-decided decide ;D
-
Hopefully WP
And in regards to boal, I hope he decides he wants to stick around to put the pieces back together. ;D don't want geelong getting stronger
-
Boak's very overrated. Not saying he isn't a good player, because he is, but he isn't as good as what some are making out.
Chaplin will be a good pickup and helps us out. I'd expect with Primus leaving he will all but be gone from Port next season now. Saints are heavily into him also.

chaplin is hardly an unknown. hes a 26 yr old 130 odd game player who has been associated with hartley hardwick and lade when they were at port. id say hes well known.
-
KB :bow Had Michaelangelo Rucci on SEN earlier today, he asked about chaplin as they were talking contracts for Crows and Port.
Apparently the port adelaide supporters would be happy to see the back of him and would even offer to drive him to punt rd from adelaide :lol
He also mentioned that he is not a good defender as his natural position is as a forward
And if Dimma can make him a good defender then he has achieved his quota as coach ( or something similiar to that ;D)
Maybe we are looking at him as a forward prospect and have our eye on another defender and have kept quiet, whatever the case there will be plenty of speculation on what we do due to our recent years at the trade table.
:gotigers
-
Rucci is just a bitter Poort fan.
Like the Demon supporters turned on Scully, gun player they tanked for to poor disposer of the ball with bad knees, the Poort fans are turning on Chaplin.
I'm not in any way comparing Chaplin to Scully, but I think Chaplin will be handy.
-
Wouldn't even let Rucci voice his opinion for the Footy Budget
That said, Chappy is no world beater even though Davey rates him highly because he plays for Port
-
Rucci is burning

Get out of it. Spoke to Chap on sunday (cheers Jay), nice bloke. Still, I would prefer it if we went for someone else. 4 years is too long for an incosistent player
-
But is he inconsistent or just a good player in a pathetic team.. A few yrs back when port were playing well Chaplin was vital to them and damn good... No defender can dominate if their mids allow easy fwd 50 entries
-
Rucci is just a bitter Poort fan.
So true, was gunning for Primus to be sacked around round 4 this season
think there's a few Port & Crows supporters for that matter who'd happy drive him out of Adelaide as well ;D

I've heard that Chaplin has been as good as done since mid-season.

No Tigers offer for Chaplin yet, says Peter Rohde
Michelangelo Rucci
From: The Advertiser
August 28, 2012 10:30PM
RICHMOND has not made an offer to Port Adelaide defender Troy Chaplin at this stage, Power football operations manager Peter Rohde says.
It has been reported Richmond has offered key defender Chaplin a four-year deal which Port would be unable to match.
But Rohde said he had been assured by Chaplin and his management that there had not been an offer from the Tigers, who the Power plays in its final match of the season at the MCG on Sunday.
"I've heard all the speculation but everyone denies that it's happened, so I don't actually think it (the offer) is in place," Rohde said.
"Troy and his management have said it's not the case and the club in question has said it's not the case, but I suppose we'll see in the not-too-distant future, I suppose."
Rohde said Port's failure to have a senior coach in place would not have a major detrimental effect on its recruiting plans.
"A lot of that work goes on in the background, talking to managers and players about who potentially might come," Rohde said.
"Obviously we're going to need a senior coach to come in and put his stamp on the list at some stage but it's not really until the end of September or early October before a senior coach needs to take an active role in it."

The club should watch some Port games from this year. They'll some of the worst turnovers for the year coming from Chaplins boot. All goals to the other team too

Don't worry about Pete. We'll deal with him when the time comes
-
Of course there has been no (formal) offer made since RFC would risk a $100,000 fine if done before October. And as if he's going to say "yeah guys I'm going to Richmond next year but I'm still going to rock up to training and use all of your facilities still in the mean time."
-
they can make an offer, they just cant come to an agreement, as bizarre as that is.

Absolutley, like , what would a 4 year 1.5mn deal do for you , well we have one in the top drawer at punt for the next key defender that signs....RFC are past masters :shh

That does sound strange but oddly correct - AFL logic at its best by the sounds of it
-
I thought we could make an offer and then the ball is in Port's hands as to whether they match the offer.
Why do Port have to match it now...cant they wait unitl closer to trade week and then decide to match it or not?

No official offers until after the season is over during the free agency window prior to trade week
-
They can talk and make offers, they just cant sign them, Billy;
Under new rules and amendments announced, offending clubs who sign player before the end a season face a fine which has been doubled to $100,000.
But clubs can still have discussions with free agents during the season, similar to the talks several clubs have had with Collingwood's Travis Cloke and Port Adelaide's Travis Boak this year.

Tigers confident of luring free agent Troy Chaplin from Port Adelaide
Jon Ralph
From: Herald Sun
September 17, 2012
RICHMOND believes free agent Troy Chaplin will nominate Punt Rd as his preferred new home, but the club must pitch a deal that Port Adelaide is unwilling to match.
The Tigers are confident the former Maryborough junior wants to play for them but as a restricted free agent Port can match any offer for Chaplin.
When the free agency period opens on October 1, the key defender can consider offers from any club but must nominate only one.
The Power then has three days to match that offer and retain their player.
Chaplin could still ask for a trade or enter the national draft if he cannot come to terms with Port.
Richmond hopes Port will realise Chaplin's determination to return to Victoria, and instead accept a compensation selection in return.
The quandary for every side trying to attract a restricted free agent is to determine the point at which their current club will baulk at matching a deal.
Clubs will need to offer either more money or a longer deal than their club believes he is worth, but determining that tipping point will be difficult.
Richmond believes that at 26, and after finishing equal fourth in Port's best-and-fairest award, Chaplin can add valuable experience to one of the competition's youngest defences.
Alex Rance is 23, and Dylan Grimes, David Astbury and Ben Griffiths are injury-prone, with Richmond's defence holding up manfully this year but also conceding a high rate of goals to inside-50s.
Age and salary are the sole determinants. With free agents older and generally earning less than the contracted players who went to Gold Coast and Greater Western Sydney, compensation will not be as generous and almost certainly limited to one pick.

GIDDY UP TIGERS at least this will be a decent recruit from the power unlike past players and other players we are being linked too. will ease the load on rance and grimes and become a leader of the cubs growing up. great move tigers lets hope his knee is ok but.
GO YOU TIGERS
-
Richmond appears likely to secure Crows forward Chris Knights, with Port Adelaide defender Troy Chaplin its major free-agent target. Chaplin could even receive a four-year contract from the Tigers, in the hope that Port will be reluctant to match it.

From the AFL website:
Troy Chaplin also set to explore free agency.
Chaplin is a restricted free agent, which means the Power would have a chance to match any offer made for the defender.
He could then either accept the Power's offer, ask for a trade, or risk entering the draft.
Carr said the 26-year-old had "every right" to explore free agency, but that his actions around the club suggested he still wanted to play a role at the Power.
"This is the world that we live in now in AFL football that there is free agency, and players are able to move wherever they want when they've been in the system for a long time," he said.
"Chappy's got every right to explore all his options and also see where we're heading and if he wants to be a part of it.
"He's always around the club. He's here today, he's training and doing everything he can do to still be a part of it."

A deficiency of key defenders will almost certainly lead to Hawthorn sounding out Lake, unrestricted Melbourne free agent Jared Rivers and Port Adelaide's restricted free agent Troy Chaplin, who may not be available as he has been offered a three-year deal to join the Tigers.

I.know can't read.much into that but he seemed to go.alright. some leadership too.
Even if he can hold down 3rd.key back after AlexRance and DylanGrimes.
It allows Griffiths to play forward as the 200cm next to vickery and jack. This should not be under estimated

Tigers secure Chaplin under free agency
October 1, 2012 - 4:09PM
Michael Gleeson
The Age
Richmond has signed its second free agent with Port Adelaide defender Troy Chaplin this afternoon informing his club he had signed with the Tigers.
As a restricted free agent Chaplin and Richmond must now wait on Port making a decision on whether to match the Tigers' four year deal.
If Port does match the deal Chaplin can either stay at Alberton or nominate for the national draft.
Chaplin's manager, Liam Pickering of Strategic Management Australia, said Chaplin had resolved in his mind to leave Port and wanted to go to the Tigers so he would likely go in the draft if Port tried to match the offer.
The Chaplin signing comes after Adelaide forward Chris Knights became the first deal done on the opening of free agency, committing as an unrestricted free agent to move to the Tigers.

Richmond tables offer for Chaplin
richmondfc.com.au
4:41 PM Mon 01 Oct, 2012
Richmond can confirm it has made an official offer to Port Adelaide restricted free agent Troy Chaplin.
Chaplin, 26, has played 140 games for the Power, in a league career, which started in 2004.
The 195cm key defender finished second in Port’s Best and Fairest in 2010, backing up his third-place finish in 2009. He also won an AFL Rising Star nomination in 2006.
Port Adelaide has 72 hours to respond to the offer. If it matches the offer, Chaplin can choose to either stay at Port, or push for a move via the AFL’s trade period or national draft.

THE Port Adelaide Football Club is considering its position after restricted free agents Danyle Pearce and Troy Chaplin were targeted on the opening day of the Gillette AFL Trade Period.
The Power was informed by the AFL that Fremantle has offered a contract to midfielder Pearce, while Richmond has declared its intent to secure full back Chaplin.
Both players are restricted free agents and under the rules Port Adelaide has three days to consider its position and decide whether to match either offer.
Port Adelaide does not intend to comment on either Pearce or Chaplin until it has resolved its positions in respect to each player.

Dresses very well for a gardener does Chappy. Doesn't get dirty like one though.
-
Its interesting to note the opposition supporters reactions to the players we pinch.
with grigg they were generally filthy on him for going.
houli was a mixed bag, some filthy, some happy to be rid of him.
maric, most could understand the move but weren't too dirty. a few thought he'd do ok with more opportunity
knights, similar to maric, but not seen as any great loss.
But with Chaplain, the only one of this group playing regular footy, just about without exception, they are dancing in the streets at the thought of him leaving.
-

he was a bit dirty when his opponent slipped away for an uncontested mark in that video...
and when the ump paid a mark he thought shouldnt have been...... :P

They don't have the $$$ to match our offer anyway
Why not?
Who's taking all their salary cap?

no one. they're going to have to give blokes pay rises when Pearce and Chaplin leave

No we wont.
He has 2 options if Port decides to match the offer. Stay at port or go into the national draft.
Not the pre-season draft
-
Port will match it..
They like to pee us off just like last year.

Port is unlikely to match our offer and Chaplin will go into the draft if Port do.
-----------------------------------------------
Chaplin, who has played 140 matches for Port since his debut in 2004, is understood to have received a four-year deal from the Tigers.
Port is even less likely to match Richmond's offer, citing the key defender's recent knee surgery as a major factor in deciding whether to offer the 26-year-old a long-term deal.
"We're well aware of his knee situation so if someone offers him a long-term contract elsewhere we'll just have to weigh it up," Rohde said.
"They (recent injuries) are obviously the things you have to consider when you do long-term contracts."
http://www.adelaidenow.com.au/sport/afl/danyle-pearce-and-troy-chaplin-look-set-to-leave-port-adelaide/story-e6freck3-1226486150257
The Tigers had also made it clear they were after a key defender, and Troy Chaplin, from Port Adelaide, had long been mooted as their ideal man. This came to fruition when the Tigers offered the restricted free agent a four-year deal.
If Port does match the deal, it has until Thursday afternoon to do so and he could either stay at Alberton or nominate for the national draft.
Chaplin's manager, Liam Pickering of Strategic Management Australia, said Chaplin had resolved to leave Port and wanted to go to the Tigers so he was prepared to go in the draft if Port tried to match the offer.

RICHMOND'S strong Port Adelaide links played a key role in convincing defender Troy Chaplin to choose the Tigers as his preferred new club.
Tigers' coach Damien Hardwick, assistant coach Brendon Lade and recruiting "head-hunter" Blair Hartley all had contact with Chaplin in his time at Port.
Chaplin, 26, yesterday told Port Adelaide he wanted out as a restricted free agent and informed teammates of his reasons in a heartfelt email.
Though Port has three days to match Richmond's offer under free agency rules, it seems highly unlikely given it is a significant long-term deal.
It is understood that Chaplin's deal at Punt Rd is three years guaranteed, with a fourth if he can meet performance benchmarks.
Chaplin's manager Liam Pickering told the Herald Sun Chaplin had "strong relationships" with Lade, Hardwick and Hartley, who recruited him to Port in the 2003 draft.

Damo - all the articles I have read merely say he must nominate for the "Draft" - it doenst say which draft. Given that Chaplin is out of contract - why can't he merely nominate for the Pre Season Draft which is open to uncontracted players?
If you have a link which defines "Draft" as the national one - please post it up as I would be happy to read it. Thanks

He could go into either but I would say he would put a price on his head and nominate for the PSD just like every other "Un Contracted" player does ;)

Blobby made a good point on 360 last night. Would you really want to try and keep a player that had put pen to paper and committed to leave?
We're not talking about a star here, so there shouldn't really be any objection from Poort.

In a cat-and-mouse with Richmond, Port Adelaide is considering matching Richmond’s offer of a three-year deal with a conditional fourth year, for restricted free agent Troy Chaplin. The Power had 72hours from when the contract was tabled on Monday to decide whether to match the terms.
In the event that a club matches the contract terms of a rival club for a restricted free agent, that player has the choice to stay at his club or go in the national draft.
Most observers from rival clubs believe Port is unlikely to match Richmond’s offer given the Power is also pursuing Monfries, Jordan Russell and possibly others. Port is also weighing up whether to match Fremantle’s offer for former Rising Star winner Danyle Pearce, who has received a substantial offer to join the Dockers.

I reckon PAFC will let Chaplin come to us and they're just being weeners about it. Doesn't seem much point getting a bloke to stay on for 4 years who has completely resigned himself from the club.

Here's some positive posts about chaplin from the Poort bf board:
He's a better player than Carlile and had a better season than Trengove. I'm not sure why Port supporters always focus on his one clanger. I reckon Pearce would have a higher ratio of clangers to disposals,
Chaplin has his downsides, but he is still a damn good player. People thinking that a 2nd round draft pick is better than keeping an already developed 100+ gamer is delusional.

Be interesting to see what the AFL gives Port as compensation for there Net Lose of Pearce and Chaplin.
This net lose thing everyone on bigfooty is talking about does that mean they might get one good pick instead of a pick for each players worth?

Would laugh my head off if the picks they get for Chaplin and Pearce are higher than the one Essendon gets for Monfries. ;D
Port are what were circa 2002-04.

PA have interest in luring the likes of monfries and possibly russell to their club, im sure they will ultimately decide their cap would be getter spent on those keen to play

Same. Maybe its only if they pick up a free agency it comes into consideration for the compensation of the player you lost.
Compensation
Clubs will be compensated by way of draft picks if they are deemed to have a net loss in the free agency period. The compensation falls into one of five categories - a first-round pick immediately following the club's first round pick, an end of first-round pick, a second-round pick immediately after the club's second round pick, an end of second-round pick or a third-round pick immediately after the club's third round selection.
http://www.afl.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/208/newsid/148683/default.aspx
-
I'm not a fan of a cumulative net loss compensation. What if 10 clubs lose 1 or 2 decent players but pick up no one? The entire draft moves along 10 spots from the first round. More incentive for crap clubs like Melbourne to tank - let one or two senior players slip and grin all the way to the bank with 2 or more picks inside the top 5. Then when 2, 3, then 4 and 5 more clubs do the same then our pick 9 for example suddenly turns into 13 or 14 and we're back to compromised drafts.

Not sure, it hasn't really been stated either way. I would imagine he can get 're-drafted' through any of the drafts he wanted though?

Here are the rules:
HOW THE SYSTEM OPERATES FOR ALL PLAYERS ACROSS THE COMPETITION -
A player has served seven seasons or fewer of AFL football at one club, and is now out of contract.
The player is not eligible for free agency if his club wishes to retain him. He may only move clubs via a trade or the draft. If he delists himself, he is subject to the draft, and may be selected by any club.
A player has served seven seasons or fewer of AFL football at one club, and has been delisted by his club.
The player is a free agent and is eligible to field offers from all rival AFL clubs.
The player must decide on the best offer of his choice from one rival club.
The player can move AUTOMATICALLY to the new club of his choice.
His original club, which chose to delist him, does not receive any compensation pick for the loss of the player.
A player has served eight or more seasons of AFL football at one club, is one of the top 25 per cent highest-paid players at his club, and is now out of contract for the first time since reaching eight seasons of service. (restricted free agent)
The player is eligible to field offers from all rival AFL clubs.
If he wishes to change clubs, the player must decide on the best offer of his choice from one rival club.
His club has the right to match the presented offer.
If the club matches the offer, he may choose to remain with his original club, seek a trade or enter the Draft.
If the club does not or can not match the offer, the player can move to the new club of his choice.
His original club will receive a compensation pick for the loss of the player, on an AFL-determined formula to apply where clubs lose more free agents than they gain in any single transfer period.

If Port matches and he walks it states he can then "enter the draft" it doesn't distinguish that it must be the main draft????????????

Jon Ralph @RalphyHeraldSun twitter:
"Chaplin is just what Tigers need. Big key defender to help Rance and others. Port clearly thinking very closely about matching bid. "
"Chaplin could still try to get to Richmond but would be tough to get him in pre-season draft and a trade would cost good picks"
The issue for Port is if they let Chaplin go then they will get compensation (most likely a 2nd rounder); if they match the offer and Chaplin still walks out into the draft then they get nothing.
Two hours to go and counting!

POWER'S QUICK FIX
PORT Adelaide wants to deepen its player list - and strengthen its leadership group - by hitting the free-agent market. Of the 81 free-agents available this season these are the players still available and capable of tempting the Power.

On guy on TWR reckons because Port is getting bashed from pillar to post right now they will try to make a public stand and force Chaplin into the draft. Wallace thinks they will let Chaplin go as he wants to go. So they are all just guessing.
4.30pm EST is the deadline according to TWR. Under an hour to go until we'll know.

Woo hoo!!!

Port Adelaide general manager football Peter Rohde said the Power had considered detailed medical opinion regarding the 26-year-old and was unwilling to counter the extended contract term included in the Tigers’ deal.
“Troy needed serious knee surgery towards the end of 2012 and while we hope he has many years of football left, we’re not prepared to commit to the extent Richmond is,” Rohde said.
How bad is his knee. Hope this is just an excuse Port are saying publicly on why they lost him and his Knee has a full recovery.

Welcome Troy! :gotigers :thumbsup :clapping

I'ts a LONG WAY to the shop if you wanna chico ROOOOoooooOOoll

Tigers claim Chaplin
richmondfc.com.au
3:35 PM Thu 04 Oct, 2012
“We identified Troy as a player who could provide significant benefit to the Club, both on-field with his playing ability, and in a leadership capacity off-field,” said Richmond’s General Manager of Football, Craig Cameron.
“We have a young, developing defensive group, and Troy is well-equipped to provide the necessary know-how and experience to assist the likes of Alex Rance, Dylan Grimes, Jake Batchelor and Ben Griffiths.”
Chaplin, 26, has played 140 games for the Power, in a league career, which started in 2004.
The 195cm key defender finished equal fourth in Port Adelaide’s Best and Fairest this year, after being runner-up in 2010 and third in 2009. He also won an AFL Rising Star nomination in 2006.

Chaplin played 18 games this year before being put in cotton wool. Apparently he was doing just half the training during the year.
Sore Chaplin set for surgery
By Harry Thring
Fri 03 Aug, 2012
PORT Adelaide coach Matthew Primus denies Troy Chaplin's season is over, despite the defender requiring knee surgery.
Primus said Chaplin's training in 2012 had been severely restricted because of the complaint and it was simply a matter of time before he needed an operation to fix it.
He will miss Saturday's clash against Greater Western Sydney.
But Primus refused to rule Chaplin out for the remainder of the year, claiming he would play an important role in the short-term and, amid rumours the 26-year-old could join Richmond next season, in years to come.
"I think it might have been mentioned yesterday, he's been battling since the middle of the year just doing half our main training session and that's all he's doing a week," Primus said.
"We think Troy's still going to play a vital role for us, not only this year but in the coming years, but we'll see how goes ... it's definitely getting sorer every week.
"The closer the end of the season comes, the closer it'll come for having surgery for him."
During the week it was reported Richmond had already offered Chaplin a four-year deal starting next season, which would mean that as a restricted free agent, the Power would need to match the deal or Chaplin could simply walk.
But Primus denied the claims earlier in the week, banking on Chaplin's honesty.
"We'll play that out, and this is what free agency is all about, but Troy's certainly not happy with the article in today's paper, he says it's the furthest thing from the truth," Primus said of a report that a deal with the Tigers was as good as done.
"All the discussions that we've ever had with Troy is that he hasn't spoken to anybody, his manager hasn't spoken to any other club, so we'll take Troy on that word and keep working with him."

Funny how they have failed to realise that we're in a better spot than them ATM.

Yes, it is hard to fault our recruiters since Dimma's reign began. If we get Tyson at the cost of pick 9 the rest of the draft is almost incidental......although Tom Lee and Liam McBean @ 29 & 31 would be fantastic.

"Have made some fantastic friends. I'm looking forward to the next chapter in my life at @Richmond_FC and thank them for the opportunity. "

We have made some genuine progress in the last few years with Blair Hartley improving our depth and filling holes in our side. Having a monster backman to fee up Rance and Grimes is another positive move. Knights giving us another X-factor and adding another genuine cog to our midfield and forwardline just continues to strengthen our list.
I'm very excited about the way we are systematically improving our squad through informed, tactical and measured strategies. We have not thrown all our cards in to gain a quick fix star but instead are playing it safe and ensuring we cut no corners. If one player fails over we have the depth to cover them by the numbers.
Looking forward to the trade period next :shh

-
Our biggest bodied defender by far. Griffiths is still filling out and hasn't the core strength to out muscle the big bodied forwards. Seems a good kick from hos highlights package :) At the very least we have gained a good to average defender to add depth and experience to our backline and increase competition for spots. At the best he could be the FB rock we need to stop players like Hawkins, Tippett etc while freeing up the other defenders to link up and run out of defence.
Blair Hartley would have used the Moneyball statistics to calculate his worth to the team using Dimma/the formula! :thumbsup
-
He is rated a very good intercept mark in the 2012 AFL Prospectus, which is something we really lack. It is not a strength of Alex Rance.

Chaplin, who played 140 games for Port, said he would have pursued a trade even if Port matched the Tigers' offer. "I just had enough and needed a change," he said.
"It's been mentally draining but they (Port) are going to have a bright future ahead of them and I wish them all the success in the future.
"Port Adelaide gave me an opportunity nine years ago and I thoroughly enjoyed my time here.
"I always thought I would be a one-club player but the opportunity to play at the home of footy at the MCG was too good an opportunity to pass up."

New Richmond defender Tro Chaplin hits back at Port's parting shot
Sam Edmund
From: Herald Sun
October 06, 2012
FORMER Port Adelaide defender Troy Chaplin is bemused by accusations by the club that he is vulnerable to knee problems.
The Power this week cited concerns about Chaplin's recently injured knee as the reason for not matching Richmond's four-year contract offer.
In a parting shot, Port football manager Peter Rohde said the club considered "detailed medical opinion" before letting the 26-year-old walk as a restricted free agent.
"Troy needed serious knee surgery towards the end of 2012, and while we hope he has many years of football left, we're not prepared to commit to the extent Richmond is," Rohde said.
Chaplin, who met Richmond officials at Punt Rd, admitted he was surprised by the comments.
"I was a little bit disappointed because I still catch up with the physio weekly and there hasn't been an issue," Chaplin said.
"I suppose they've got to do their due diligence, and if they didn't think that was a fair deal, then that's up to them. But I caught up with the Richmond doctor and physio, and they've got no problems with it.
"That's (Port's) view and Richmond have given me another view and I'm obviously coming over here to go with theirs."
Chaplin had an arthroscope late in the season to ease bone-on-bone soreness stemming from an incident in the NAB Cup. He played on, delaying surgery for most of the season because of Port's injury crisis.
"We thought it was just going to be a clean-up," he said.
"It obviously needed a bit more done, but at the end of the day that's what they've said and they chose not to match the deal.
"I've got no problems with the football club. They've been extremely good to me over the nine years.
"Clubs are around for ever, but players come and go."
Chaplin won't be ready for the start of pre-season training next month, but hopes to be doing the full program by January at the latest.
"I'm heading towards full recovery now," he said.
"I'm on the bike and all that stuff. I've got one crutch to walk long distances, but other than that I can walk no problems at all.
"It's coming along fine and the rehab is going nicely. I'm looking forward to playing Round 1 at the MCG."
Chaplin was excited at the prospect of helping young defenders Alex Rance, Dylan Grimes and Jake Batchelor, and working with exciting talents Trent Cotchin and Brett Deledio.

And hit the protein and the gym concentrate on the guns man, the guns! ;D
Point him this way RFCOff we know and see all on oer

Have we just recruited a bogan with no cartelidge ?
Will probably be a massive dud in the early part of the year due to limited Pre season..
-
oh ffs. Firstly, he is old enough to not give a poo about doing his beachies, he is not a body builder he is a footballer, he needs flexibility, his main concern is that functional core strength through his core, trunk, hips, legs. Richo was similar, had longer muscles in his arms/ shoulders didn't look like adonis but noone questioned his strength.

Meanwhile, new Richmond recruit Troy Chaplin has shot back at his former club Port Adelaide, after they admitted concerns about Chaplin's long-term future after he suffered a knee injury early in 2012.
"I was a little bit disappointed because I still catch up with the physio weekly and there hasn't been an issue," Chaplin told the Herald Sun.
"I suppose they've got to do their due diligence, and if they didn't think that was a fair deal, then that's up to them. But I caught up with the Richmond doctor and physio, and they've got no problems with it.

When you have very little like Port do, sour grapes is one of the things you have in abundance.

Chaplin to thrive at the ‘G
By Tony Greenberg
Mon 08 Oct, 2012
New Richmond recruit Troy Chaplin says the opportunity to play in front of the Tiger faithful at the home of football was critical in his decision to join the Club.
Speaking to ‘Roar Vision’ on his first day at Tigerland, Chaplin said he couldn’t wait for the opportunity to run out regularly at the MCG, in the Yellow and Black colours.

It is also used in academic writing to discuss overlapping concepts for example. I just thought I would be clever because he said 'to be shore to be shore'

Tigers on the cusp: Chaplin
By Jason Phelan
Wed 10 Oct, 2012[/i]
RICHMOND recruit Troy Chaplin says he agonised over the decision to leave Port Adelaide, but ultimately the opportunity to join a big club in his hometown of Melbourne was too tempting.
Chaplin played 140 games in nine years before signing with Richmond as a restricted free agent last week.
The Power then chose not to match the Tigers' contract offer.
The 26-year-old said he was grateful for what the Power, who selected him 15th overall at the 2003 NAB AFL Draft, had done for him, but the lure of a four-year deal and the potential to play in finals proved too great.
"The 'go-home' factor was a key to it, but their list is in a fantastic position at the moment … with the guys that they've brought in and added to their list … [and] their younger guys as well," Chaplin told Melbourne radio station SEN on Wednesday.
"Trent Cotchin is going to be a superstar of the competition, we all know that, but they are starting to add some depth now and are on the cusp of playing finals."
Chaplin, who said he didn't make his decision to leave until the day before the Grand Final, also expressed similar views to want-away Crows forward Kurt Tippett.
Tippett sensationally requested a trade to the Sydney Swans on Saturday with a key part of his reasoning to escape the 'fishbowl' lifestyle of being an AFL player in Adelaide.
"Probably the difference, I think, is that we're so accessible over here," Chaplin said from Adelaide.
"Obviously it's a two-team town with the media so prominent and anyone can access you.
"At Port Adelaide if someone wanted to do an interview you pretty much did it. There was no, 'Oh it's just going to be the coach or the captain'.
"The supporters can access you at the [West Lakes] shopping centre.
"Where AAMI Stadium is, right across the road there's a shopping centre and that's where most of the guys go and get a feed.
"Supporters can come up to you and it's pretty full on … but that comes with the territory - you're an AFL footballer and people have got high expectations on your performance, so you've just got to put up with it.
"The thing with Melbourne media is that there are so many teams in Melbourne that you can probably hide a little bit from it."

TROY CHAPLIN (Richmond)
Tired of the fish-bowl lifestyle in Adelaide, Chaplin opted to join Richmond as a free agent and is set to add some experience to a young backline. Chaplin crosses from the Power, where he played 140 games. At 195cm and 100kg, Chaplin has the size to become a pillar of defence at Punt Rd, despite question marks being raised, particularly late in the season, over his disposal. Turnovers and skill errors plagued the 26-year-old for much of 2012, but a troublesome knee could provide some explanation. He had surgery on that knee after the season and he believes the Tigers can push for a flag in the next few years.

That's harsh on Chappy but I agree about Rance. best defender we have had since Jim Jess

Sour grapes on their part. Chappy moves well, racks up plenty of footy and uses it well. He's also close to unbeatable one on one + his closing speed is an asset. Fantastic pick up and well done to all involved. Don't worry about what Port are saying, just know that Troy is going play a big part in our push for finals. :thumbsup

Chaplin just what we need: Hardwick
By Jennifer Phelan

Thursday, March 7, 2013
Former Port Adelaide defender Troy Chaplin will play his first game for the Tigers this weekend
TROY Chaplin will play a half for Richmond this week at a time where the value of his off-season recruitment is becoming even more apparent.
The former Port Adelaide defender, along with ex-Essendon midfielder Sam Lonergan, will play their first games in the yellow and black when the Tigers take on Hawthorn in Tasmania on Saturday.
With defender David Astbury in doubt for the season opener against Carlton with a foot stress fracture and queries over whether Dylan Grimes will come up, the experienced backman's first game of the season is timely.
"We're certainly looking forward to Troy coming in," coach Damien Hardwick said on Thursday.
"He's a very good player but he's also got outstanding leadership qualities and will further help guys such as Alex Rance, Ben Griffiths, Jake Batchelor, all these types of players around him.
"We're looking forward to solidifying our back six with his presence.
"We'll look to get three quarters into him the following week."
Chaplin became a Tiger via free agency last year after nine seasons at Port Adelaide.
There were concerns over the knee he had operated on at the end of the season but he has come through his rehabilitation and been training strongly.
Chaplin came second in Port's best and fairest in 2010 and was a member of the club's leadership group.

Based on a half today, it's looks a smart free agency decision to have gone after Chappy. He slotted into our backline nicely and it was noticable that we missed him after half-time as our defence seemed disorganised once he had gone off. I doubt Roughead would've kicked anywhere near 5 had Chappy played a full game.
-
For a first hit out, I thought he was exceptional.
Hardly made a mistake.
-
He's already impressed me and it was only a half of Nab footy.
He demonstrated a lot of leadership down there which is important as Newman isn't playing down there anymore and Rance has had to do it alone.
Good choice Tigers. :thumbsup
-
some very positive feedback on his performance, :cheers will watch replay
-
BIg call,but i reckon if grimes stays fit,and with the addition of Chaplin we will have a backline to behold
-
Slotted in seamlessly. I know it's v. early days but it looks like he and Tross will work well together.
-
Rance-grimes-Chaplin
Is there room for griffs? You would think Griffs forward.
Pettard.4th.tall back?
-
plenty of room for Griffiths .. not sure about rance.. he is our weak link
-
Griffs looked much better this week.
I like it when the ball is in his hands. His got elite kicking accuracy for a man of his size. We all know he can roost it but he is just as good with the 20 to 45m passes.
My only criticism is he should be looking at more 50 to 60m passes to really create a counter attack. Team mates have to learn to run to those spaces and give him the option.

Will be needed come round one, really will, said it from the start, our backline will need to be solid for this game.

I hope this year we can stop the trend we have of letting a spud get a hold of us (A. Edwards, L. Jericho, Mitch Robinson, Anus Monfries etc.) and make a poo player (i'm looking at you Levi Casboult) look 4th rate, like they are.

Easily solved by trading a pick in the 70's for them so we never play them again. :whistle

I hope Chaplin is okay after getting clipped in the jaw :pray. He's fitted into our defence with ease in the games he's played so far. Handy too to know that he can totally shut out a speedy nimble forward like Garlett. You only noticed Garlett was out there once Chaplin was taken off.
-
Our backline didn't look the same once he copped that knock. Sure, you can attribute their final quarter to a number of factors, but I think him getting that knock was definitely one of them.
Worth mentioning it was his first full game back this week, so will only get better from here on :thumbsup
-
At times it showed he lacked match fitness but he certainly brings a lot of balance and more importantly calmness to our backline which is (obviously) why we got him
-
if grimes comes back next week ..who fills the griff role on the big blokes?
-
definitely showed he lacked fitness and probably still learning the game plan and team structure. i'll let this game of his slide and let him build on it.

-
Would have thought the Gardener would have went to Hampson since he was bending Griff over. Wasn't that why he was recruited? Or was that just some BS from supporters with no idea? ;D
Want more out of Chaps offensively than what he dished up last night. Did well on Garlett though even if Jeffy is a pathetic player
-
Ch 9 news tonight said Chaplin told them he's fine after copping that shoulder to his chin last night.
-
Chaplin looks great for us.
He's a bit under done but I'm confident he'll be excellent for us long term.
Interesting stat I noticed was that 4 of our defenders topped the stats in disposal efficiency.
Now that's something we haven't seen for a long time. :thumbsup
-
Nice looking man

he is a great match up for mobile forwards as he reads the play really well. He is a very good kick and makes good decisions.. He is one of the leading backman in the comp.
Were you aiming that at me Coach ,, i would say Garlett qualifies as a mobile forward. Wouldnt you? :whistle
-
I remember when Garlett was a good player. Seriously damaging. What a shame he's poo now.
Hahaha I kid I kid I don't give a stuff. :shh

Not aimed at you at all. It was aimed at those who said the signing of Chaplin is the end of big forwards dominating us. Only took 1 game and a spud in Hampson has already destroyed one of our players.
-
Hampton kicked 1 goal 2 from 13 touches.
Not sure how that qualifies as dominating or destroying our back line.
He did well and no we don't have the next Darren Glass but the descriptors you are using belong in Bold and the Beautiful ;D

No worries, but i wouldnt write him off just yet.. It was a high pressure and high intensity game which only the fittest survived. Chappy was clearly not the fittest. but did handle the pressure.
i thought Griff broke even. Even i know Hampson is a poo kick, so letting him mark the ball on the 50 in the pocket was good work. He was never going to kick goals from there and he didnt.
-
The moment he got knocked out is the moment Carlton really made their move and started catching up. He must be given credit for going back with the flight of the ball. It took guts. A good back line is a fearless back line. Even though he was clearly underdone getting him seems an inspired decision already. Once he gets fully and Grimes returns, we will have a very good back line!

Didnt play his best game but Hampson only kicked 1 goal and that was a gimme from the square, his other shots were from spots where it was smart to let him have a shot. Really low % chance of him kicking it.. Just my opinion

Hampson kicked the games first goal from 50. Boys on the line misjudged it. :thumbsup
First 15 mins we were woeful.
Other than Griff who struggled one on one, Rance was fantastic, Batchelor was very good and Chaplin first up given his limited pre season was serviceable.

Hampson took 8 or 9 marks and led Griff to the ball easily. For his role on the night I thought that he was beaten badly. I don't rate Hampson and I thought Griff should have been able to match up on him much better than he did.

He also missed 3 that didn't even register a score. He also dropped a poo ton of marks he probably should have taken. Which is why I have said in other threads we're lucky we weren't up against forwards who can kick. Griffiths was destroyed. No defender in the world would look at that game and say "yep, I've done alright on Hampson tonight". Hampson bent him over and drove him home TBH. Which is scary because the big fella is a bit of spud ;D
-
I'm not saying he had a great game, Hampson had one out of the box and his damage was minimal so all is good. Griff stays
-
The only reason the damage by hampson was minimal is because he spudded up big time. If you look beyond the actual scoreboard hampson bent grithiffs over, he just wasnt good enough to capatilise where it counted. Thats good luck, not good play.

That was pretty much my point to the coach Al, Hampson did not destroy Richmond - he could've but as many of you have posted, he is simply not good enough to get the job done.
It doesn't mean Griff had a good game, he had a poor one but a poor game by Griff doesn't automatically mean Hampson smashed us or Griff cause he's a dud too!
-
Griff would be better crashing a pack for a mark up forward not timidly trying to spoil...late..in the back line. He looked terrified of giving away frees to me. And too slow to react. Thing is, he might not be a hundred percent either, he used to move pretty well for a big unit, didn't look like he was that mobile at all in that game.
-
Owl i agree with you re Griff crashing packs ,but i'm scared he might break ;D

"bent him over" geez is this the 2013 catch cry?
Yes i agree with you Griff didnt have the best match but i'm not fussed because he wasnt the only one. Our backline worked well for the majority of the match. im just throwing it out there that maybe it was a tactic to let Hampson get the ball on the 50 and not inside 50. He fluked 1 goal that should never have got through. Hampson is a poor kick. It was nt like he had 15 marks and completely dominated. He lead well and held onto his marks, which he normally doesnt.
As the wise Owl states Griff is very mobile and didnt move as well as he normally does. Wish i knew why but i'm not sacking him over 1 game.. Same as Chaplin.
We won!!!

Thats just silly. The tactic should be to spoil and not let him have a shot. If Dimma or Leppa or whoever is telling Griff his job is done just by making him lead to the pocket then we need a new coach. Griff didn't look slow while running. Just looked to show no respect and slow reaction. He got reamed, no two ways about it.
-
21 year old KPD who whilst being beaten kept trying all day and had some important possessions in a frenetic last quarter. He is our best option for covering tall forwards. Give him a break.
I will say though that he is at his best when disregarding his opponent and flying for the ball on it's own merit. Something he will do more and more as he gains in confidence.

I think any decent backman is at his best doing this. there comes a time in the contest where you stop worrying about your opponent and concentrate on the ball, backing yourself to beat them. This is something rance doesnt do enough, IMO.
I'm not writing him off as a backman on one game, but some things i saw the other night were concerning, particularly poor positioning one on one ( probably largely due to above point) and lack of what people refer to as closing speed, to make that late spoil.
Id like to see him make it as a backman, mainly as his disposal is top class which is vital in the backline as you attempt to clear the press and he has the height to eventually take the enemy's monster forwards...if hes good enough..

Chaplin returns to face old mates
By richmondfc.com.au
Tuesday, May 7, 2013
Richmond key defender Troy Chaplin will do battle with his former side Port Adelaide on Saturday afternoon at AAMI Stadium, as the Tigers aim to break their three-game losing streak.
The 27-year-old is expecting some banter from his ex-teammates and fans, but knows there are more important matters at hand for Richmond.

From the AFL website...
Saturday's encounter was Chaplin's first against the club he played with for nine years and he admitted he was anxious in the lead up to the game; nervousness not helped by the consistent booing from a vocal Port Adelaide crowd whenever the ball was in his hands.
He gave Jay Schulz a love tap during the first quarter as the Power forward laid a shepherd but insisted he held no malice towards his old side – or Schulz for that matter.
"It's tough [to face them], I was extremely nervous before the game, I mean I spent nine years at Port Adelaide," he said.
"They gave me an opportunity and I hope I repaid them enough but at the end of the day I made a decision that I needed a change.
"Me and Schulzy are really good mates – my wife's one of his wife's bridesmaids – I'll speak to him tomorrow, there was a bit of banter out there but we kept it pretty quiet.
"I try not to get involved in that because you just lose focus … now I've got that first one out of the way I can move on."

Chaplin stands tall

Monday, May 27, 2013
Richmond coach Damien Hardwick praised the efforts of experienced key defender Troy Chaplin in last Saturday night’s Dreamtime clash with Essendon.
Chaplin was one of the few positives to emerge from the Tigers’ 29-point loss, picking up 22 disposals and taking a game-high 13 marks under constant pressure.

Chaplin finally pain-free and loving life as a Tiger
By Jennifer Phelan
afl.com.au
Thursday, May 30, 2013
TROY CHAPLIN is finally playing pain-free, having reached a positive point in the management of his troublesome knee.
The 27-year-old Richmond defender had surgery on his knee after round 20 last season while he was still at Port Adelaide.
It was the operation and the predicted long-term view of how his knee would recover that saw the Power opt not to match the Tigers' four-year contract offer, which allowed Chaplin to move to Punt Road as a restricted free agent.
After a frustrating pre-season when his recovery kept him from training fully well into the New Year, Chaplin believes he's turned a corner after the operation to relieve bone-on-bone soreness.
"It's actually progressed really well," Chaplin said.
"Through February and March I was a little bit concerned because the group is training and you're only doing little bits here and there.
"The medical staff and fitness staff have been fantastic and seen real improvements.
"I'm pain-free from about round four or five now, so it's been fantastic but it's something I'm just going to have to monitor for the rest of my career.
"They're aware of that and they've told me that even if it is feeling good, early in the week I'm not training, they've just said we'll pull you back even though you feel really good."
Chaplin has played every game for the Tigers this season bar the round five clash with Fremantle, which he missed with calf soreness.
He admitted it was hard to cope with being told to back off training, especially when he felt his body was strong.
"That's probably something that frustrates me a little bit but something I'm just going to have to deal with," he said.
"This is my 10th year in the AFL, I don't need to overtrain now – I'm becoming one of the older boys so I'm not complaining too much."
Chaplin also said he was enjoying a slightly different role to the one he played at the Power.
"I'm playing a bit more of a team role and playing on guys now. At Port Adelaide, I played more of a loose man in defence [role]," he said.
"I'm relishing the jobs now and no doubt I'll get another one this week.
"It's been a long road but to start to get a little bit of form in the last few weeks has been good."

Been a good pick up. Cost us bugger all.

Thought he good defensively but gee wizz I rather Rance kicking it than him.

Nothing confirmed yet but Doc Larkins thinks it could be a repeat of the same problem Chaplin had with his knee when he arrived at the Club and needed arthroscopes on.

Was walking, finger crossed :pray :pray

Could have been an expensive win, OE. Astbury with a hammy and Chaplin with a knee and a tall Saints forward line next week.

He looked shattered.
-
Dimma just said they think Chappy will be okay. There's no structural damage but we'll do scans during the week to make sure everything is alright.
-
Didn't look like he could put weight on it when he left the ground but seemed to walk unimpeded after the game. Fingers crossed.

Probably this week. Was hoping we'd blow out the score last week in junk time so I was disappointed ;D
-
AFL Website saying Chappy, ankle??
-
Nah it's the left knee. Doc Larkins said Chappy couldn't initially put weight on his left leg due to the knee but later on he was able to walk on it. Chappy thinks it might be just stirred up scar tissue but the Club will do scans during the week. Larkins said Chappy's knee will be sore for the next few days and the Club will need to monitor it.

Richmond defender Troy Chaplin suffered a knee injury against the Western Bulldogs
Glenn McFarlane
From: Herald Sun
June 23, 2013
RICHMOND strengthened its grip on a top-eight position with a 10-goal win over the Western Bulldogs last night, but it may have come at a cost with injuries to key defenders Troy Chaplin and David Astbury.
While the Tigers were hopeful last night that the injuries to both players were not serious, it did put a dampener on an otherwise impressive night for the club.
Chaplin was carried from the ground late in the game after twisting his knee, but coach Damien Hardwick said the defender believed his knee – which has previously caused him trouble – was still structurally sound.
Astbury suffered hamstring tightness during the third term and was subbed out of the game.
Both players will be assessed to detail the extent of their injuries, but Hardwick remained hopeful neither would prove to be serious.

-
Reckon he'll miss vs the Saints
-
Hardwick didn't see Chaplin's injury occur and was unsure whether the stadium's much-maligned surface had played any part.
http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/richmond-counts-the-cost-of-eighth-victory-20130623-2oq4a.html
-
Wait and see. Hopefully doesn't miss against Saints.
-
'you don't know what you got until its gone'.
I suddenly rate Chaplin more, when facing the prospect of losing him.
-
The good news is there's no structural damage.
SuperFooty (AFL) @superfooty twitter:
"Damien Hardwick will "wait and see" how @Richmond_FC defender Troy Chaplin pulls up after scans cleared him of structural damage"
-
One eyed..Does structural damage also include ligament problems?
-
Yeah, sounds like the ligaments all intact, just a strain, he ll miss next week, Batch, elton Dea or Petterd to come in :shh
-
Rest him for Saints game. Elton can take Kosi.
We'll need Chaplin at 100% for the Norf game (Petrie).
-
Kosi may be out. Could be reported for a strike on Dawes

jack dyer strapped a 2 bob coin to his bad knee and played the rest of his playing days with it..seemed to work for captain blood.Although he did warn his teammates that he cant turn left or right and can only go in straight lines,so if they are in the way....too bad

Troy Chaplin @troychaplin25 2h
Thanks for all the well wishes. Scan came back good. Still a bit sore today. Hoping to be right for this week.

I concur.
Rest him against the MRAS

Touchwood the knee settles down and he's able to play :pray.

Chaplin twisted his knee during the fourth quarter and was helped from the field, but scans today revealed no significant damage.
The in-form defender will be monitored during the week, ahead of the Tigers' twilight game against St Kilda this Sunday.

No significant damage suggests there is some slight damage .. He will be rested.. I would nth.g dea in bachelor is too slow for the saints fwds.
-
He deserved votes today .. was a rock in defence. fantastic game and is in great form
a big reason why in the last 4 Weeks we have kept opposition to small scores

been good for us Chaplin. been a good recruit in his first season. well done to hims. :gotigers

Was great today especially in the first half.
Will be a good match up for us on Petrie next week. :thumbsup

Tigers' defensive general
The Opposition Analyst
The Age
July 6, 2013
Every quest needs a bedrock on which to build its foundation. In AFL, it has long been established that teams with a solid foundation in defence usually play in September, and indeed can contend late into the biggest month.
In its astute recruitment of Troy Chaplin from the ashes of Port Adelaide circa 2012, Richmond has found its bedrock as it prepares to play finals for the first time in a long time.
While Chaplin may have only recorded eight possessions in the win against St Kilda, his worth to coach Damien Hardwick and his defensive coach Ross Smith can't be measured in statistics. Indeed, while his numbers are low, (Chaplin averages less than 13 disposals a match), he is undoubtedly one of the first picked each week in the improving Richmond defence.
Chaplin's value is that he gives the Tigers critical mass. Not the nuclear fission type (although at 195cm and 99kilograms he certainly can play with a destructive bent), but more in a social demographics kind of way. That is, he brings to the Tigers the type of behaviours and associated actions in his on-field play that shows the other Richmond defenders the way to play. They then become adopters of his behaviour.
Younger players grow taller with the confidence instilled in them by Chaplin and the belief gained from their consequent actions. Players such as Alex Rance and Jake Batchelor, who receive constant on-field mentoring.
Similarly, smaller, running rebounders such as Steven Morris, Brandon Ellis and even the experienced Bachar Houli all benefit from Chaplin's influence and steadying hand. He gets them sorted in relation to the ''where'' (as in their defensive starting points and structures), and the ''when'' (when to attack, when to run forward).
This was evident last Sunday. While Chaplin was off the field, Rance assumed the role of defensive co-ordinator and the status quo remained intact. In fact, so in control were the Tigers against the underwhelming Saints, Chaplin took a five-minute interchange break and the ball did not enter the Tigers' defensive 50 area or trouble any defenders during that time.
Acting in unison with the other on-field general - the long-serving (and suffering) Chris Newman - Chaplin is like a traffic cop in the peak-hour rush. He is forever pointing and yelling instructions to his fellow defenders, cajoling and encouraging them to get to the right spots.
As an older, experienced player he has become another on-field coach who plays a crucial role in enforcing the Hardwick game plan. His coach has already mentioned how important Chaplin is to the team and its finals chances, and if the Tigers are to go deep into September by beating the better-organised offences, he will be even more vital to the defensive group holding its mettle.
Chaplin is no slouch with his own play either. He has the capability to play on both the tall forwards as well as the lead-up key forwards. Against Collingwood, he took control when Travis Cloke monstered Rance for two goals in two minutes, relieving the younger defender and taking Cloke even before the runner had arrived with the inevitable change. Rance went to the bench and regathered himself, while Chaplin set about re-leashing Cloke before handing him back to Rance once he returned.
Against St Kilda, he matched up on the form forward of the competition, the Saints' solo shining star Nick Riewoldt. Chaplin more than matched him in the one-on-one marking duels, and used his size to advantage. He was then smart enough not to chase Riewoldt as he worked high up the MCG in search of possessions, instead hanging off the Saints skipper and waiting across the middle of the ground to re-engage him as he returned forward.
It is this kind of experience and football nous that outlines why Hardwick chased Chaplin and has firmly entrenched him as the bedrock player of the Tigers back line. Any team that is looking to beat Richmond would do well to put time and effort into negating Chaplin.
The opposition analyst works in that role for an AFL club.

Chaplin and Rance have been fantastic after a slowish start to the year, which probably can be overlooked considering they hadn't played together before. Over the last seven games they along with the other backman have kept sides to the following 55, 61, 72, 62, 91, 72, 73, the 91 was against the Cheats which we lost. That is a pretty amazing stat considering some peanuts on here don't rate one of them or both.
Credit where credit is due peanuts, bang on all you like about falling over or not being able to play on the big boys but the numbers don't lie.
Smarten up and enjoy the ride the RFC is taking us all on and support everyone involved. :gotigers
-
Anyone have any peanuts? Fantastic, just fantastic.
The double fisting gardener certainly does dress well. He wears a shitbag too
-
I'd reckon Chaplin would be running top 5 in our B&F. Dependable week in week out in our backline.
-
Been Bloody awesome
-
Definitely an awesome pickup. Glad they chased him. Recruiting the last 3-4 years has been sensational IMO. Hardly a wasted top pick and the trades/free agents are all performing well.

Grimes - Rance - Chaplin :pray

Grimes - Rance - Chaplin :pray
Accompanied by Morris, Houli, Deledio/Newman. Not a bad 6 at all.

I'd still like a taller backman to truly compete with big forwards in the air

Agreed.

Chaplin just provides such a cool measured head down back. Played the kick behind the play roll beautifully today. He's our Mr Reliable.

Cool calm and collective..................

Had a stinker. Worst part is he was doing what we supposedly recruited him for, to play on the gorillas
-
this bloke just watches his opponent lead at the ball while he stands around scratching his ass
-
He does dress well though
-
Big gums, little teeth.
-
mmm def centaur lineage
-
Under the circumstances I thought he was pretty solid tbh
-
Was solid but is better when he can zone off his opponent.
-
Nearly half of Sydneys goals went through him, not good enough
-
Don't blame the backline .The issue yesterday was the workrate of the midfield.their midfield worked their butts off,ours bar jacko and dusty did not

Can hardly wait to watch the replay and see if it shows how bad our mids were
As I posted yesterday our defence was gallant but had no hope against the tidal wave of run from the Swans
Can I add I have a far greater appreciation for how good their mids actually are, after seeing them live playing some of their best footy in the that 2nd half

Chaplin’s smoother path to 2014 glory
Nathan Schmook and Jennifer Phelan
afl.com.au
January 31, 2014 2:25 PM
RICHMOND defender Troy Chaplin is well placed to continue his dream run at Punt Road with the Tigers maximising his output this pre-season through smart management.
Chaplin overcame knee issues to play 22 games last season and stake a claim as the club's most important player, holding the backline together after crossing from Port Adelaide as a free agent.
He finished third in the Jack Dyer Medal, but his prospects in 2014 appear even brighter with the Tigers declaring the 27-year-old is "miles ahead of where he was this time last year".
"His knee has improved enormously and we're thrilled with the amount of training he's been able to do," backline coach Ross Smith told AFL.com.au.
"Last year he had an operation as he came to us and that really curtailed most of his pre-season, but he still had a very strong season anyway and was really important for us.
"We still have to manage his knee every now and then but not as much as we had to last year."
Smith described Chaplin as "the glue that holds the backs together" and said he had added a lot of composure coming out of defence, where he formed a strong partnership with Alex Rance in 2013.
As Chaplin looks to improve on an outstanding first season at Punt Road, Smith said avoiding back-to-back training sessions had been an important part of the defender's program.
"You've got to constantly manage guys like that and they can't do two days in a row … that’s the sort of thing that can bring them undone," he said.
"If swelling occurs then you pull them back and if it's going well, you keep pushing them.
"Not training two days in a row is important for probably half the lists in the AFL now because there are all sorts of degenerative stuff."
http://www.afl.com.au/news/2014-01-31/chaplins-smoother-path
-
Reading about how we are having to manage his knee does concern me a little.
We must've known about this before recruiting him and Port certainly did.
I know the article says this type of condition is becoming more common but I hope this doesn't bite us later on....
-
Can turn it over can chaps just quietly
-
Had a knack of going third man up and failing to impact the contest completely, also
Astbury :pray
-
Between Troy and Alex Rance, they did an awesome job in 2013. I just hope we can get Grimes fit and playing and those three will make it almost impossible to score. :lol
Add Morris and Vlastuin in there and it could get pretty embarrassing for opposition teams.
God I cannot wait till footy starts again. :gotigers
We are seriously ready to give it an almighty crack. :pray
-
Dusty & lids as the 6/7 defender and bobs your uncle
Morris. Grimes. Chaplin
Vlastuin. France. Deledio. Martin :shh

I agree grimesy is absolutely vital to our progress this year.I just hope his body holds up
-

It's actually remarkable how many of these types of players have a history of becoming great coaches. Hope Hardwick is the next one spoken of in those terms! :pray
-
Plays like a veteran.
-
I have mixed feelings with Chaplin. One minute he is saving goals the next, he chops it up. I don't think he can hold up under extreme finals pressure as he is the worst kick we have in our team.
-
How much is this wacko on?
-
I must admit, I am growing cold on him too....him and a few others.
-
I must admit, I am growing cold on him too....him and a few others.
When Tross returns, Chappy would have to be the one to go. He isn't an on-field leader. Makes too many mistakes.

Another terrible performance today. Wheres Rance?

Shouldn't be getting a game the way he's played this year but we have nobody to replace him

Woeful

look at whats around him

He is a leader (lol) he should be standing up not being the cause of turnover goals.
-
Too dlow
-
Yuck.
Geez I'm peed off with that loss.
-
Mcintosh
-
Probably perk up once Rance is back
-
Gone from being the rock to the crock.
-
Dear Coach,
Whatever you did at Port with this bloke, it's not working. Please fix it.
Cheers,
Tigs. ;D
-
Shouldnt be given another contract at the end of this one. Not worth the money at this stage.
-
If Chaplin is going to play without heart, and Astbury not up to scratch
I'd consider playeing deledio as the third key back alongside rance and grimes
-
Dear Coach,
Whatever you did at Port with this bloke, it's not working. Please fix it.

Which Coach? The real Coach.D or Coach Damien?
-
We missed Rance massively yesterday. We are getting very little run out of the backline
-
This guy cannot kick.
-
Leadership group? gotta be kidding me.
-
this guy..
-
Infected by tigeritis.
Too late.
-
:clapping
-
Should not be given another Richmond contract when the current one expires. Club should go after a kid like Kristian Jaksch from the Giants to play as key defender.
-
Infected by tigeritis.
Too late.
He was poo 10 years ago and is poo now.
You should all listen to me more often and you won't jump on here whinging over blokes like Chaplin. Just ask Coach.

On this one you bent us all over and gave it to us dry :bow

Who should be our next coach then?

You should be. Sorry that is... you should be sorry, not our next coach.
Reckon a favourite son will be our next coach unfortunately but who knows. Who should be our next coach you ask? The best available (whoever that is at the time).
-
Chaplin is not the answer and never was the answer, he is and has always been an ordinary player. The coach will still play this spud all year because he is also is a spud.
-
Mcintosh
Darrou
McBean in defensive or Vickery or Elton
Deledio.
Lennon
-
Was vital for us last year, but I fear we're starting to see the player Port supporters warned us of.
Hardwick won't drop the player that's the cornerstone of his precious "moneyball" strategy.
Besides the fact is we simply don't any real backline depth to cover him, particularly whilst Rance is injured and Darrou continues to rot away on the rookie list and McIntosh is crap.
-
With have a plethora of key forward tall *
Griffiths was played out of position for eons
Why's not Elton or bean
*comparatively
-
Gave White far too much space and we paid the price on several occassions. We are really missing Rance.

Played the loose man last year on many occasions however, his decision making and disposal was crap just like this year. I don't know what the coaches see in him.
-
This spas.tic makes me really sick..
Comes in a preaches about how good his leadership skills are, demands big $$$ to move from a crap and unsuccessful football club and comes to a club that is need of a big KP backman. Yet on his huge wage consistently takes 2nd or 3rd forward and gets beaten consistently. Jesse White is an absolute dud, murdered Chaplin tonight. Astbury was fantastic on Cloke, Astbury would be on 1/8th of what spas.tic Chaplin is on.
Harden up leader Troy or take your big bank cheque and get out.
List clogger is Troy.
-
Astbury would be on 1/8th of what spas.tic Chaplin is on.
True this.
-
Liability. Must be dropped. Perma ban when rance is fit
-
Xavier the Saviour. STFU gimp. Chappy the Crappy. stuff off to Coburg.
-
Has all the intensity of pubescent girl
-
Waste of space in the team in my book -too slow and turns the ball over far too much- not befitting a member of the leadership group
-
As long as that goof is in the leadership group, the example he sets with his latent shitness and lack of heart will only damage the younger players
-
Nathan Brown hammered Chaplin's lack of effort on the Sunday Footy Show this morning. They showed about 4-5 passages in the space of 10 mins in the first quarter where Chaplin's man contributed to or kicked all of Collingwood's four first term goals: Chaplin was twice 10-15m off and behind his direct opponent costing us two goals; a weak effort tackling Grundy that cost us a goal; allowing Witts to freely waltz in at the throw-in to tap it to Beams for another Pie goal. It could have been five goals if Cloke didn't drop that chest mark from Witts' kick (Chaplin's man).
-
Good on N.Brown need more people exposing the BS and telling it how it is
-
FC also put Chaplin in the spotlight last night.
He has been absolutely shocking this year.
Loose, weak at the contest & turning the ball over regularly.
Agree with Brown that the Pies won nearly every contest he was part of.
If he wasn't a profile recruit he'd be dropped.
Incredibly disappointing player right now.

Would rather develop Elton as a CHB right at this moment. Someone needs to make some big decisions at Punt Road right now!

Elton is a huge unit. Saw him up close recently. McBean would be better suited up forward. Hasn't got the body for a defender. However, I agree we need to be playing more of our youngsters right now to fast track their development.
-
If you play rance/grimes/Astbury then McBean can slot in as the 4th not needing to be large
But overall I agree - if we are not going to play Darrou or mcintosh in place or troy WGAF Chaplin - then Elton would be the obvious choice. More so when Astbury and Griffiths have been moved from their natural forwards positions toay / learn defence
Elton might be a player. Chaplin is not
-
In Rance. Out Chaplin.
:pray
-
In Rance. Out Chaplin.

Astbury or grimes will get the ass :banghead

McGuane to kick 5 on him?
-
In terrible form, he'll be feeling the heat.
-
Can people please not use the word "wacko" to describe players. I have spent way too much time in hospital in the past and the number of kids suffering from forms of physical disability and getting around on crutches struggling is one of the saddest things youd ever see, in light of this Id ask us all in all seriousness to refrain from such descriptions of people.
-
How does calling a football player "wacko" relate to kids on crutches?
-
Yep, it's a fair call Ramps but not sure "wacko" is linked to kids with a disability.
-
im not sure about others but personally i dont look at mcintosh as a kpd maybe third tall because he can defend and is accountable. what i see in mcintosh is a hard running tall hb think birchall or mackie. thing is kamdyn can play defensively tall if need be. personally i think when and if kamdyn shows enough to get a game we would be looking at him to do the role petterd did or take houlis spot.
thing is kamdyn hasnt shown much at all to warrant a game.
on chaplin lets be serious here. wishful thinking wont fix our problems. we dont actually have a replacement for chapman until rance comes back and i can tell ya rancer will be jst as bad if asked to take on and stop the big guys 1v1. what i find sad is the fact there is no one else on the list outside a struggling rookie in darrou.
brisbane have named 5 players who are all 190cm and can all play at the least as a third tall defender .yeah they are missing some tall defenders but they sure as hell have some kids to try in those players stead.

...and Darrou's not "struggling"....far from it. He's more your Gibson/back pocket type though, not a fullback or CHB.

I'm glad we are paying 400k for a KP lose man in defence who is clogging up a list spot.
Backline should be
KP: Grimes, Rance, Astubry
HB Runner: Houli, Batchelor (Needs to slim down and get back to his long running and racking left shoe that got him drafted in the top 30.)
Small Defenders: Morris, In need of another small defender and stop wasting Vlastiun there.
Get rid of Chaplin, over paid goat

Every chance if the club has half a brain which we both know it doesn't so probably none....hell we delisted Pat Contin who was clearly a better user of the ball than half our current first 22. Either way, you said he was "struggling" which implies he's not playing well and that's simply not the case.

thanks and perhaps i needed to phrase some things a bit better. ben is in yr 3 and if he cant break into the list proper and play some games id say hes gonski. not mny clubs hang onto rookies for 3 yrs without playing some senior footy.

Yep, it's a fair call Ramps but not sure "wacko" is linked to kids with a disability.
It was another word that starts with "Spas..." that got filtered and changed to wacko.

Would love to see Batchelor come in For Chaplin this week as his form this year has been deplorable to say the least. Astbury takes Hale, Grimes takes Gunston, Batchelor takes Roughead and coming off his best game for the club, Petterd comes in as the third man up to help out...played this role well last week so lets see how he goes against the best.

Ex Port player who is a Hardwick favourite, can't see him being dropped, does need a rocket though, seems almost disinterested on the field and as stated some of his non efforts have been very poor, it's like having another Vickery in defence.
-
To be fair he was a fair bit better against the Lions and played his best game of the season.
Think he was matched on McGuane for a lot of the night and well we all saw what he delivered (or didn't).
Luke is no world beater but hopefully Chaplin's form is on the up because he is an important player for us.

surely we all saw the folly of playing blokes way smaller than quality opponents in the cheney hawkins matchup. we would be staring down a similar barrell with batchelor on roughy.
jack gunston would be a better match up for batchelor but ffs he cant go with the likes of gunston.
i struggle to see good matchups for batchelor at afl level lack of height and size against big blokes and lack of pace and agilty against small blokes.
-
Me I don't reckon batch has earned a recall yet from what I have seen,would prefer to stick with the current crop of gumbies.

Good points Claw and I agree that Batchelor struggles with key forwards however, I see Jake going with Roughead when he plays up the ground and when he goes to the goal square, that is when a re-shuffle can take place with Grimes of Astbury. Given Chaplins lack of everything this year, Jake could provide valuable run from defence and some much needed hardness. It is a little risky but I think he still has plenty to offer.
-
I think Bacthelor's only hope is to become a KPD. He ain't agile enough to play on smalls, never will be. He may, however, become strong enough to punch above his weight like Gibson or Tross.
I think the club has realized this and are developing him accordingly.
-
Hope he doesn't get pantsed on Sunday. More importantly I hope he doesn't do those double fisted punches in place of taking a mark.

Problem with that is he was already slow and lumbering, stocking up has given him the turning circle of the titanic and cant jump over a jam tin, whereas Gibbo is athletic .

Hehe yep and Schulz gee whiz

This guy is a spud of the highest order. Saw two examples of his character during the game that just made me shake head in disbelief. The first was in the back pocket where I think Martin was looking for options and rather than run to space he simply stood and watched. Secondly he shirked another contested situation near the wing when he obviously heard footsteps.and just ducked and allowed the ball to fall harmlessly over his head and straight to a Hawks player. Would not be in Hinkleys top 22 and would struggle to get a game at any other club going on what he has dished up so far this season, yet to beat an opponent.
-
He wouldn't even be getting a game with port
-
Anyone see when they all stood on the defensive 50 after a hawks goal, all pointing and yelling at each other.
I thought gee our club is in strife here seeing that. Okay to have a leader do that but there were 3 of them all blaming each other
-
Whats even more concerning is the playing list saw fit to elevate him to the leadership group after one season. We slag off the coaches for the way we seem to be heading and for the decisions they make at selection, but it looks as though the whole joint is deluded including our very own leardership group and playing group.
-
Seriously out of form.
Needs 2 things. A stint in the reserves and his mate Rance back.
-
Coach loves him. Pretty sure Coach emailed the club to recruit his favourite player across to the club. Good one Coach. :banghead
-
Have not seen one ounce of leadership quality from him yet, to be honest if he were a fire warden I reckon he would trample women and children to get out the joint, doesn't seem up for any sort of mental or physical challenge, very disappointing and definitely no role model to the kids in the squad.
-
"There's no doubt the addition of Troy Chaplin down there makes (Rance) a better player, and that's the reason we brought 'Chappy' in." ~ Dimma after we beat Freo last year
Except this year from what I've seen his form has severely dropped with the absence of Rance. Is he not confident playing in the back without Rance? I'm in agreeance his leadership 'skills' are virtually non-existent. But you would think having Chris Newman in the side would help with the backline leadership (in a way Maxwell does) so I'm perplexed as to why Chaplin has been severely average this year. Is there a stalker we don't know about?

How much time has this guy got left on his contract?
Does not man up, does not go when its his turn, can not take an overhead mark, (contested or uncontested), has poor disposal by foot and hand, puts Benny Gales number to shame.
I haven't seen any leadership from him whatsoever on the football ground. How does that qualify him as a leader of the club?
Jack tackled and ran all day trying to lift the club against Hawthorn. Chaplin did nothing.
-
He does not defend!
He doesn't spoil the football!
He doesn't take marks!
He is horrible now!

Easily winning the most disappointing player poll is Troy.

Recruit Kristian Jaksch and give Chaplin the chop. Save some money in process as well.

Terrible kicking. One of the culprits that cost us the game IMO

Well I just want to say that Coach was definitely right about this poor excuse of a leader.

In Grimes Out Chaplin
Should have already been out. It's not just that he's poo. He's just going through the motions each week. Grimes isn't in the best form, but goes flat out from start to finish and stops his man. Just needs to gain confidence offensively.
-
Yep agree..for grimesy its purely a confidence thing,on the other hand for chaplin it appears its a skill issue,or rather an execution of skills.
-
His kick on the break into the forward line late in the game that fell short and led to turnover was terrible.
He just has no confidence in his kicking this year at all and is missing more targets than he hits.
Clear liability atm and if Hardwick continues to play him then more fool him.
-
Hardwick probably feels he has to play hartleys rejects
-
If Chaplin is on 9 times more money than say darrou
I'm sure this comes into the decision who to play

Was brought into the squad to do a job which he ain't doing was brought into the leadership group to show leadership and he ain't doing much in that area either, what the hell is he there for? Maybe a plant from Port to ensure we go backwards at a rate of knots.
-
Bruce is a stuffing moron.
I turn off the sound when he comes on - criticises players efforts- i don't recall him ever playing the game at top level.
-
Thought the MRP could help us out and give him 2 weeks

Stop kicking on your left foot Chaplin, you can't use both feet and turn the ball over when ever you use your left shoe. Stick to your preferred right foot.
*looks at rfc.com and sees Chaplin is a left footer.
Oh.

:lol

Makes me wonder what type of person the club drafts when after one season Maric is put into our leadership group,and when only after a season chaplin is put into the leadership group.Grimes played a season or so and he got put into the leadership group.WE really must have a dearth of leaders at our club.

Speaking of leadership
Isn't Grimes in the leadeship group?
Ñe can be dropped yet others are special?
-
our tall defender stocks.
astbury - 195/95 kpd. is the only one of the tall defenders who has shown a real ability to play consistently well 1v1 on the oppositions big forwards.
rance - 194/96 tall defender can play kpd if needed. his strength is most certainly not 1v1. he plays his best footy as a rebounding third tall type who is third man up and cuts the ball of in flight.he played loose man in defense against geelong and we could all see how well he can play if hes not having to account for a direct opponent.
grimes - 193/89 tall defender. another 3rd tall whos best work is as a third man up. we just dont get enough of anything else out of him. at 89kg it is folly to play him on the bigger kpfs.
darrou - 190/97 tall defender. despite his size he plays more like a flanker. lack of height at afl level would be telling against the bigger kpfs.
mcintosh - 192/89 tall defender. can play 3rd tall very well but hes a running player and should be played as such.
chaplin - 195/98 kpd. of all tall defenders he is the one who shold be most capable of going 1v1. if he cant do this role we need to desperately go out and draft/trade for someone who can.
he just doesnt have the awareness or skills to be a third tall.
chaplin was heavily criticised for his skills and constant turnovers at p/a nothing has ever changed in that regard it continues to be an issue with us.
what annoys me is ive seen chappy perform well as a stopper at times and thought this was what we were going to do with him. seems not. how often have we actually given him a big power fwd to play on and stop.
looking at all options as far as playing on the bigger fwds chaplin imo has the best chance of succeeding.
the list is scraming out for 2 big power defenders imo one mature one junior. one to replace chaplin and the other to develop for the future.

You can forgive the miss kick early in the game
But the first Melbourne goal
Why wasn't he stationed between the ball and the goals
More so if he's playing loose
-
His opponent was deliberately targeted because of his poor one-on-one defensive work. Is usually good as the loose man but lost all confidence when he knew his weaknesses were being exploited. Worst game I have seen him play
-
Without a doubt the most over paid player we have. Without question.
Bundle him, Hampson, Knights, A.Edwards, O.Stephensen, S.Grigg and B.Houli you'd equal nearly 2 million in TPP. Would any other club take these blokes? Maybe Houli but that's it.
6 spots on the list, over 150 RFC games of experience and 2 million in TPP that we've thrown away here.

Why are we paying 400k for a loose man in defence?
Tom Langdon is going OK. What is he earning? Where was he in the Draft?
Give Jason Cloke a rung, couldn't do much worse..

400k for Chaplin, 300k for Grigg, 250k for Hampson add afew others and that gentlemen is how our administration is wasting members funds. What a f'king joke!

He was very quick to ad his own name to Newman's and King's re coaching aspirations once they were named. Smacked of more than just a bit of 'ME'.
Chaplin has been ducking hopeless this season. When Dimma mentioned the bookends have been rubbish I hope he was talking squarely about Troy.
Been a disaster.

OOTY CLASSIFIED
Richmond was the major focus to begin the show.
Craig Hutchison said the contrast between the two halves was “stark” and North Melbourne’s leaders stood up when the game was on the line.
“Ziebell, Petrie, Harvey, Swallow got their hands dirty when the game was there to be won,” he said.
Melbourne great Garry Lyon said the decision to substitute Majak Daw at half-time was the catalyst.
“When Majak was subbed out ... it simplified it for everyone,” he said.
“It left Drew Petrie one out and Troy Chaplin panicked. He panicked, he grabbed jumpers, he gave away free kicks.”
it had started last season. why is the tone that this is a new event. Panicky. Slow. makes it harder for his teammates. doesn't seem that interested.
-
:banghead.He was awfull on Petrie no way near his man.He is a liability in out backline yet in our leadership after 1 year
-
Rance should've been on Peatree the whole time :banghead
-
Rance should've been on Peatree the whole time :banghead

Week in week out, we take a player that is completely out of form and run them into form. That is the Richmond way. We are confidence boosters for other clubs.
Chaplin. What an incredible mistake recruiting him. Incredibly soft footballer.

No matter who Chaplin played on they would of kicked 4 whether it be Petrie, Daw or Black
-
I'm never been happy with Chaplin, I understand we needed a KPB and wasn't against Chaplin coming to the club because we needed to fill a whole.
The way the club went about paying enormous overs for an injury prone average Key backman from a bottom 4 side was just an awful awful decision.
He's been OK at best, and that is being really kind. Ridiculous that he's one of the highest paid because of free agency and our idiotic list management. The guy is an extremely ordinary footballer.
-
The reason Petrie dominated him in the 3rd quarter was because he got the 1st mark so easily- absolutely no body contact from Chaplin. He actually boosted Petrie's confidence with his softness. What a soft defender, he was supposed to free up Rance but at what cost, he is not tall enough, not strong enough but overall just not good enough to hold down a key post.
There is a quirk in the 'in the back' rule that Chaplin needs to take advantage of if he is playing an opponent 5 inches taller. While it is expressively forbidden to even place the palm of your hand on your opponents back, it is seemingly ok to arrive at a contest a fraction of a section late and drive your knee into your opponents back. Rance has become a champion of doing this and making it look accidental and whatsmore he will then fall on top of their 'breadbasket' making it difficult for them to breathe. All this supposedly when you can't 'do much' these days, and in a way Chaplin is a product of the soft serve variety of AFL, however there are still ways you can make them 'earn' it and ways that you can make them 'think twice' next time they are reaching up for a mark, but I just can't see Chaplin as the type of person that has that type of aggression in him. He is weak.

Vickery - when has Ty shown he can play in the backline?
Darrou - sadly isn't an AFL key defender (yes I know wags will say neither is Chaplin this year lol).
Elton - no idea what we are doing with him. A natural forward who is playing in defence in the VFL.

I thought both were ordinary today.
I also thought jack was bad...he keeps sitting behind his opponent and asking for the ball to go over the top...Maybe we should hire Eddie Charlton for some pin point accuracy lessons to help jack out

Could Elbe wrong but I thought jack marked it often today from leading to space and catching the ball

judge please...we don't catch the ball we mark it.... :thumbsup

N Riewoldt pavilc etc were incredible in the backline, , getting games, before moving to the forward line

Darrou's been playing well in the backline for two seasons, Scoop.

Each game is worth noting . We got a mal Michael but don't know it cause of a bloke that moves like a boat and isn't too interested. Not helping rance or Grimes

some blokes have such glareing weaknesses do we really need to see em play in the ones to acknowledge thay arent anywhere good enough.
i reckon if supporters paid more attention to player weaknesses there would be less disappointment and insistence that they get games.

some blokes have such glareing weaknesses do we really need to see em play in the ones to acknowledge thay arent anywhere good enough.

At this stage of the season they still need to to be given the benefit of the doubt and a chance to see what they're made of at AFL level. Who knows, some might surprise, either way it beats continuing to play the same blokes that we already know for certain aren't good enough for the seniors because we watch them stink it up in the seniors every week and have for years.

your right. take it further though, why have people recruiting players with such glaring deficiencies????.
we have 45 because we should be able to find a decent proportion of players who meet basic criteria. only at richmond we havent yet worked this out.

doesnt matter what stage of the season, if they dont have the attributes to succeed why play em.

Credit where credit is due..
I wanted to run this bloke out of town during our horrific start to the year.
He has been solid over the past month.
-
Good post Matt, I'd add that he needed to stand up earlier in the year when it counted - particularly when Rance was injured.
Guess it shows up his limitations which makes his leadership credentials dubious to say the least. :-\
-
Rance makes him look better than what he is
-
Chaplin on 3aw:
* I think the catalyst was the other Essendon game earlier in the year. We had a stern meeting. We were more open and honest with each other. After that we played good football.
* I think Jake Carlisle tested Newmans patience by calling him really, really old.
* Playing on Joe Daniher last night who is a bit inexperienced gave me a chance to drop off a few times and help out Rance.
-
Reckon he's been excellent for about 10 weeks now
-
I'd argue rance has been excellent.
Chaplin since the rance return has been less shyte.
I'd swap him for thatvguy hardwick said was winning the b and f
I do wonder what the powers to be rate as the best backline if everyone was fit.
Grimes is leadership group so must be rated highly
Astbury apparently winnig the b and f
Rance is clearly a level above the rest
Would they play all four?
Nondount the powers to be love Chaplin. Credit to houli for being less squibby recently

Agree. He has done better since after the kangas game.

Word is he couldn't do much worse

Still can't play tight when needed

Rebounding defender Troy Chaplin is fourth in the League for intercept possessions (108).

Has been very good over the past few week. Making the right decisions now his confidence is back. Was playing like a rank amateur at the start of the year but has turned it around. :clapping

Chaplin wasn't alone in having a poor start to the season,but has bounced back vey well
-
Absolutely crap
First gamer kicks three why am I not surprised
My kingdom for an Astbury

Yeah considering Rance had Riewoldt I thought it was pretty pee poor of Chaplin this evening. But then again the defensive efforts of the team were pretty poor in the 2nd and 4th qtrs tonight
-
Thought he was good for most of it. Someone has to kick them.
-
Got plenty of cheap ball as the spare KPD but was totally outplayed a few times 1 VS1, as well as found wanting out of position too.
Pity Astbury isn't fit.
-
Thought he was good for most of it. Someone has to kick them.
Yep, a couple of them were cheapies from a turnover up the ground that just torched him. Credit where it's due, he's turned it around.

He has stifled the development of Todd Elton. The poor guy is brought in and played on one of the best contested marks in the league in Cloke and then banished back into the twos and left to rot there. I think Todd has all the right attributes as a tall back but just needs to be played there to learn to be part of the back 6.

Chaplin went down in the first like he got knocked out so he wouldn't look slow and pathetic trying to chase Carlisle toward goal :facepalm
This bloke is a liability & not showing any leadership whatsoever. He makes Rance's life difficult too.
This guy needs to go so we can atleast try Elton, unfortunately we don't know if he's any good.
I'd trade Vickery, Grigg & picks for Carlisle for the full back spot.

It wasn't that long ago Rance got toweled by Cloke and look how far he has come. I agree with this 110%, Elton needs to be given a legit go. Sadly it won't happen unless there's a forced change via injury

Unless we make a serious tilt at the flag this year and set ourselves up for next year.. I reckon Chaplin just has to go next year. He's not getting younger, more agile or smarter so it's time
To recruit another defender and develop them or start giving elton/astbury a real crack. The reason why I say we need chaplain for finals is because you do need experienced kpd. Astbury or elton would crack imo.

Actually like the way Troy plays

I know people are critical, he'll I've been critical too but having had it explained what his role actually is when he stands all alone at HB, when everyone else is pressing forward, I reckon he has been good, he plays the role well. Simply he plays the role he directed to play it may not look great to people but of its what the team wants him to do who are we to complain?
Yes he looked slow yesterday, slower than normal but I don't think any of us should underestimate the impact the events on Friday had on him and a few others at our Club. Think the above photo says it all

Had an interesting conversation with my nephew after the Lion's NEAFL game up here yesterday and I asked him about this specifically because it seemed he was playing very much the type of role we see Chaplin play. He said that (depending on opposition of course) when he's back in the 2's they mostly have him guarding space more than an opponent. The fullback has a more traditional role on his direct opponent but Liam's role is to firstly deny the space for an attack to move through but then to peel off and take the tallest option coming down if he considers them a threat or get over and help the fullback if not. I reckon that is almost exactly Chaplin's role in the team on most days. Whether he succeeds or not is another point entirely but I guess like most things in defence, it relies on getting good support from your midfield.
-
I'm not critical of his role. I think he actually does a good job directing traffic back there.
This doesn't excuse his effort in critical contests though. In fact, his role as a leader only highlights how poor his efforts can be. Incidents like the aforementioned one where he let Steele turn inside and deliver to Cameron are all too regular. If he's aware that his inability to move laterally prevents him from attacking the hips in this situation at the very least he needs to corral his opponent to the outside and their non preferred foot. Thought this was a very poor example to set.

yep, Rance gave him a spray for that and rightly so.
-
Excellent at pointing however
-
Any replacement has to have 80 odd games under his belt. There's little point in putting in a 0 gamer. Astbury or some existing player has to step up or we trade for a redy made. I cant see it happening myself. He's here to stay.

Bloody big ask for grimes, vlastuin, rance etc. to carry troy to a flag :-\
Even if Astbury or Elton puts his hand up will he a go? Doubt it
-
Someone dig a hole for him to fall into, needs an injury otherwise he aint going anywhere. Seriously i would like someone on the selection committee to justify how he is in the side compared to the likes of Donuts and Lennon or even Dea for that matter. Cannot see how any one of these could contribute any less than Newman is currently.
Op was talking about
Christopher
But I think a few tweaks and it suits troy too
:banghead

Channel 7 commentary:
Astbury can't get a game is the Richmond back line cause they got dance AND SOME GUY U FORGOT WHO HE IS
-
Why is he demanding the ball off players? Should be avoiding disposing the ball as much as possible. Did it in the backline from Ellis when both were 50m in the clear and just handballed it straight back. Stat padding dud.

Troy Chaplin is calling astbury..
Yeah he's OK
Lol
-
Gee, I thought he had been going really well over the past few weeks... hard sale for some.

He's been playing fine. Just becoming a whipping boy next to Rance.
Backline is doing a great job. Wouldn't change anything except maybe Morris small defender instead of Hunt.

Snip! We've had enough short analogies ppl. Back to discussing the topic properly.
-
Look, when you press the key of a piano, something fundamental happens. The key is actually a wooden lever, a bit like a seesaw but much longer at one end than at the other. When you press down on a key, the opposite end of the lever (hidden inside the case) jumps up in the air, forcing a small felt-covered hammer to press against the piano strings, making a musical note.
At the same time, at the extreme end of the lever behind the hammer, another mechanical part called a damper is also forced up into the air. When you release the key, the hammer and the damper fall back down again. The damper sits on top of the string, stops it vibrating, and brings the note rapidly to an end.
The extended and descriptive analogy of Chaplin as a piano is worth mentioning for three reasons. By playing him:-
1) there's is no jumping in the air at the extreme end of play
2) there is always a releasing of the opposition key. And...
3) in essence, his purpose is that of the felt covered hammer.
-
That must have got through because it wasn't a short analogy. :snidegrin
-
WP without a snip

Already done that one...guess what happened....

Arghhhh and here I was thinking I was clever

Got blitzed by nick after nick got the injury :rollin

Just so damn slow and a whore kick

I still maintain that Chaplain's role of our backline is Architect.
Whilst Rancie's is ENFORCER.
Definitely a leader down back.
I don't see anyone else able to fill his shoes in this department at the moment.

Milestone game ;D.
Chaplin plays his 200th AFL game on Saturday :clapping. His 60th with the Tigers after 140 with Port.
Since Troy joined us in 2013, he has played in 37 wins and 22 losses.

Chaplin's presser today ...
VIDEO: http://www.richmondfc.com.au/video/2015-07-21/chaplin-press-conference-july-21st
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Chaplin, 29, will play his 200th game on Saturday, a milestone the former Port Adelaide defender didn't think he'd reach.
"I never thought I'd get to 200, it's taken a while," he said.
"It's humbling and something to look back on once the career's finished and be pretty satisfied with.
"It's not easy, and the way the game's changed over the past few years, it's got a lot harder, the body's starting to feel it a bit more now."

Jed Adcock and Troy Chaplin have come a long way to celebrate their 200th AFL games
Emma Quayle
The Age
July 25, 2015
The day after they were drafted, Jed Adcock met Troy Chaplin at the Maryborough Oval. After growing up in the same town, sharing rides to basketball tournaments and playing in many of the same football, sides the teenagers had been sent in two very different directions: Chaplin to Port Adelaide as a first-round pick and Adcock to the Brisbane side that had just won three premierships. Both had understood they would have to move from home no matter which club chose them. But that far? It felt like a lot to take in. "It will be a good move for me," said Adcock on that Sunday morning back in late 2003. "I'm still just getting used to it."
That was then. Twelve-and-a-half years later Chaplin and Adcock don't get to see each other too often: their reunions are almost always confined to the couple of minutes at the end of a match in which their teams have just played each other. "It's funny," Chaplin said. "We're doing the same job and living the same sort of life. Your careers just start taking you different ways."
The pair will share something big again this weekend, though. Adcock is where he was, and will play his 200th game for the Lions on Saturday. Chaplin made the difficult decision to leave Port Adelaide at the end of 2012, and will be wearing yellow and black when he plays his 200th on the same day. After all these years - after moving, fighting for their first games, starting to feel comfortable, dealing with injuries, playing finals and wishing they could play more - they have ended up in the same spot at the same time. "It's a nice coincidence, isn't it?" Adcock said. "It feels like it's come around so fast. Everyone tells you how quickly your career goes, and they're right."
Adcock wasn't sure how he would ever get into the Brisbane team when he got there. The first people he met had surnames like Brown, Black, Voss, Akermanis, Lynch, Power, and the list goes on. In his head he had plans - to move to Melbourne, live with some of his friends and play footy while they started university - but after about six months he felt comfortable with the change in direction, like he lived in Brisbane and wasn't just visiting. "When I stopped looking at every little break as a chance to get home, I knew I was happy."
It frustrates him now that kids want things to happen in such a hurry and that some of them start looking to leave so quickly, though becoming a regular part of the Lions side in his second season did help him settle a lot further in . Adcock hasn't missed too many games since then - injuries took chunks out of three seasons - but he would have played more games by now had his team played more.
The Brisbane Lions have played just two finals since their last flag and a leg injury meant Adcock missed the first one, but he feels like he arrived at the club at a good time, not a bad one. "I guess some people would say 'one final?' but I was lucky to get here when I did," he said. "If I didn't, I'm not sure how long it would have taken me to understand what I had to do and how hard I had to work to play senior footy. The things I learnt very early on are things that have stayed with me."
Chaplin went to a good team, too: it was Port Adelaide that ended the Lions' run in the 2004 grand final and he realised soon after he got to the club that it was going to be very hard to find a way into the team. Like Adcock he watched his senior teammates closely, copying everything Chad Cornes did, following Warren Tredrea around at training and going through vision with Darryl Wakelin.
The wait felt longer than it was, in the end, and Chaplin isn't sure he would be where he is had he not had the opportunity to learn from those players as well as two key coaches: Mark Williams and Dean Bailey. "That's one of the things you can never know, I guess. But going to that club meant I met some pretty amazing people early in my career. All those people had a really big impact on me," he said. "I'm not sure I would still be here or whether I would have played all these games if I didn't learn what I learnt over there, especially early."
His life has changed in other ways in the years since then, and so has Adcock's. He met his wife Hayley in Brisbane and considers the city his home now, though he would like to get into coaching one day and knows that could take him and his family somewhere new. Being part of a team that travels every second weekend has meant working hard to make sure he spends enough time with Lily and Archie, and his thoughts about home now revolve around them, and making sure his parents get to be a big part of their grandchildren's lives and know them as well as they can.
"I guess that's what changes. It's not what you're missing, it's what your family is missing out on, and those relationships are really important for my kids. I want them to grow up knowing both sets of grandparents and being a big part of their lives," he said. "As a kid all you worry about is playing footy, but when you grow up and have kids there's so much more to think about."
Chaplin has been thinking about coaching, too, and while chipping away at a business law degree has started doing some part-time coaching with the Oakleigh Chargers, the teenagers' energy and endless questions making him want to keep going back. He knew his wife Lisa before he went to Port Adelaide, and moving to Richmond was partly about being closer to their families and where he wanted to be when football does one day end. The couple has been challenged in an unthinkable way, losing their stillborn baby boy Archie five years ago, but are parents now to four-year-old Elke and Blake, two. "It's a great time for us," Chaplin said. "We went through an extremely difficult time but now we just enjoy watching the kids grow up, making plans for the future with them and pretty much cherishing everything they do."
In some ways Chaplin is doing what he thought he would be doing back on that Sunday morning in 2003: playing footy, striving to win a premiership. But he never would have imagined doing it for long enough to be playing in a 200th game, or thought up any of the things that have happened along the way.
"You're so innocent when you start out and your career goes through so many transitions," he said. "You go through all these different stages I think most players go through, and I can see it now with our young guys, but the thing you're never going to know is what's going to happen along the way, how you're going to be challenged and how your life changes. That's the unknown when you're 18 and just want to start playing footy, but it's also, in a way, the fun part."

Well done Troy, lets hope you play another 200 for our club, Newman will too. :gotigers

Congratulations Troy. :gotigers
Let's hope he plays his best game ever. :pray
-
OK start :pray
-
He's been rock solid. Best game he's played for a while.
-
Solid for a change :cheers
-
Played a great game today. Really felt for him today as some around him like hunt were pathetic
-
Best game I have seen him play. Hunt was okay from my point of view. Umpiring was shocking to say the least. Don't kick the easy goals you lose.....as simple as that. Newman played a role for the first time in years :whistle Lloyd was ordinary and made bad decisions which were VFL standard at best. We played well and should have won the game by a few goals but we couldn't handle the pressure.
-
Chaplin & Rance reversed roles for the most part today. The former was the wall and setting things up , whilst the latter was the panicky dumb arse.( basically the 2011 version of himself.)

extraordinary? it was the pivotal moment of the season... arguably of the last 6 years
as mundy starts to walk back looking directly at chappy, chappy starts the knee-slapping crying
no doubt mundy thought 'woooaaahh what a female we got this'

both those posts made laugh, but only the first was genuine mirth
-
they say if u dont laugh u cry ...

watching that video you can clearly see the trap that freo set, encouraging that very kick.
you can also see a richmond player in the top left of screen run away from the contest while his direct opponent runs to the contest. another richmond player left of screen just stands there and watches two dockers run to get to the contest.
As it was a dockers mark, this had no influence on the outcome, but is still pee poor. if the ball had come to ground there was 4-5 dockers to our solitary player.

Chaplin made the AFL website's Team of the Week at CHB ...
TROY CHAPLIN (Richmond) - One of the Tigers' best players in his 200th game, leading the backline in a narrow loss. Was smart with his ball use, going at 87 per cent with his 23 possessions.

This guys easily cost us 4 goals from maladroitness. He's a team leader that is the voice of the coach on field but he has too many deficiencies.
Can't jump, can't defend, can't stop an opponent that can either jump or has an ounce of speed.
We need him out there for structure purposes as he can read the play well & he does make Rances role a lot easier but he just doesn't have the skill or ability to do what his body won't let him do. He will one day probably will make a decent fist at coaching but whilst he's on the field what stands out like dogs balls is that we need another key defender that can play his role so he doesn't have to.

Not happy with his game today at all. Frustrating player is Chaplin :banghead

Can't live with him, can't live without him.....a typically Richmond paradox...

Cant live without lol

I think he probably has a had a year to forget he just seems a lot slower this year and his choices he takes are not the best ones lately specially with his little short 10 meter kicks that mis targets.. we need him but gee there are time I wish he was over the fence with me :thumbsup

Callum Moore
Calder Cannons
Height: 193 cm
Weight: 85 kg
Position: Key position utility
Strengths: Athleticism, contested marking, workrate
Weaknesses: Kicking, football IQ
Player comparison: Tom Lynch (Adelaide)
First year impact: Long-term prospect
Kicking: Below average
Marking: Elite
Endurance: Average
Speed: Above average
Statistics:
Calder Cannons (TAC Cup) – seven games, 9.3 kicks, 4.3 handballs, 13.6 disposals, 56.8 per cent efficiency, 3.8 marks, 1.6 tackles, 1.6 goals
Vic Metro (under 18 championships) – four games, 6.5 kicks, 1.8 handballs, 8.3 disposals, 58.8 efficiency, 4 marks, 1.3 tackles, 1 goal
A talented junior basketballer, Moore only played five TAC Cup games in his underage year in 2014 after a late call up to the Cannons squad from the EDFL, but that was enough to have the Swans come calling prior to the rookie draft. Though they ultimately chose others in that draft, the sheer fact that the beaten grand finalists of that year were very keen on the young man gives an indication of the potential that AFL clubs see in the 193-centimetre tall that moves like a midfielder.
His sheer athleticism is truly something to behold in a big man, with his pace across the ground making him a handful for opposition big men, and his size proving a serious obstacle for smalls when he is shifted onto the ball. When combined with his genuinely spectacular contested marking ability and unearthly leap, Moore projects as a genuinely exciting prospect as a lead-up forward or a marking target across half forward and through the middle, with the ability to be dangerous as a third man up in ruck contests around the ground.
What is holding him back from being able to play early in his career is his low football IQ. Not surprisingly for a young bloke who didn’t concentrate solely on football until comparatively late, and one who has yet to settle into a particular role, his leading patterns and movement off the ball need work. His attack on the ball at this point in time is heavily weighted toward a ‘see ball, get ball’ approach, and more than you would like it results in him leading his man to a contest where he might be better off creating space.
The elephant in the room however is his kicking. Whilst it is generally acceptable, Moore is also capable of the kind of drop punt that would make Levi Casboult blush, as a couple of shots at goal in the heartstopping win for Vic Metro over SA illustrated, and that area of his game needs a drastic overhaul. The good news however is that it appears to be mechanical rather than mental, and the raw talent is there, so it is something a club will be willing to work with him on.
In a lot of ways, Moore’s breathtaking athleticism, great hands and sometimes atrocious kicking brings to mind former Adelaide cult hero Nick Gill, and should he be luckier with injuries, there is no reason to suggest that Moore can’t also make it in the AFL.

NAB Challenge: Richmond to persevere with Chaplin experiment

Tigers press conference
TROY Chaplin the forward? Brendon Lade thinks yes.
Assistant coach Lade, in the hot seat for Richmond’s NAB Challenge opener against Fremantle in Mandurah yesterday, predicted Chaplin’s forward-line experiment would continue this season.
The usual key defender looked far from out of place when given his chance in the first half, bagging a goal with a clever rove and snap to prove he’s capable at both ends.
Lade said Richmond’s need for more attacking options could see the former Port Adelaide player up the other end of the ground more often, especially with fellow backman David Astbury enjoying a brilliant pre-season.
“He gave us something a bit different Chappy,” Lade said.
“He competed really hard and kicked a nice right-foot goal, (he) went back there in the last quarter as well and did some things.
“We’re still looking for one of those key forwards to step up and he’s done some good things over the pre-season.
“We know he can play back but he’s also shown he can play forward, for us it’s about having that extra flexibility now there’s more rotations so he’ll play at both ends.”
It was always going to be an uphill battle for the Tigers with stars Dustin Martin, Trent Cotchin, Jack Riewoldt and Alex Rance among others, and the 14.6 (90) to 4.6 (30) loss reflected that.
But Lade felt there were still plenty of positive performances from his first, second and third-year players.
“Corey Ellis showed a few little things, first-year player Mabior Chol did some exciting things up forward,” Lade said.
“We had a few good players go through a lot of areas, (mature-aged recruit) Nathan Broad played his first game of AFL.”
On next Saturday’s clash with three-time defending champs Hawthorn, Lade expects a full-strength side to take the field barring injuries at training.
“I think we’ll be pretty much at full strength and ready to have a crack,” he said.
Ty Vickery and Ben Griffiths are both in doubt to face the Hawks due to concussion.
In the Fremantle camp, coach Ross Lyon said small forward Hayden Ballantyne’s left hamstring injury was “really minor”, and expected him to be fit for Round 1 against Western Bulldogs on March 27.
Ballantyne will be interviewed by the AFL’s integrity unit next week after vision emerged of him using a mobile phone in the rooms during the match.
An AFL spokesman last night confirmed use of mobile phones by players was strictly prohibited.

Anyone got Chaplin's stats at kicking for goal?
One would assume that moving him forward would have some stats to justify it?
Personally i can only remember him kicking that 1 goal against the Power back in 2014 at etihad.
I have no doubt he can probably do an "ok" job with regards to getting to the right position and short passing, but my concern is that he marks 45 out on an angle and can't finish the job we need that type of fwd player to do.
-
Get used to him playing every game folks!!!!

14.9 in a twelve year career to date. He's kicked 4.2 for us in his 3 years at Punt Rd.

Chaplin did pinch hit as a CHF in his U18 days (way back in 2003) but mainly played CHB. 6 goals in 14 TAC Cup games.

I liked when he fumbled the ball in the centre and then hand passed directly to a freo player....classic Chaplin. :clapping

It's going to be a very very long year for a lot of you that don't rate or like Chaplin, because old mate Hardwick loves him and he aint going anywhere.. :thumbsup

Did you see how long he stared at the freo player before he handballed to him? It was like he just couldn't process that Fremantle jumper = opposition.
Then eventually, you could see his brain click 'yep, I'm gonna handball to the guy in purple".
I swear, the guy is mentally fooled

Chaplin kicking hasn't changed
nor has his marking....had the sit and ballsed it up
Floss, vision, hands to Lambert who hits up Vickery. Goes long to Chappy who can't mark and Freo clear. Connolly saying Chaplin is too slow to play forward.
Freo run it up the other end for another goal.
1 - 18
And yet not too slow for the backline...

I am no huge fan of Chaplin these days but he is not list blocking the afore mentioned, Stalin. Griff is injured all the time ditto Astbury. McBean is still too raw, Elton is not up to it and the others have played one game out of a possible one game in the Nab challenge.
Mention, say, Matt Dea from last season perhaps.
-
McBean is ready and should be given a decent run of matches to prove himself, not just the odd one here & there....

Let's be honest, we would all love McBean to add contested marking to his game but IMO he is never going to be that sort of player. His assets are his ability to get on a lead to take it out in front of him. And his agility when the ball hits the ground against opponents of the same size. And his kicking.
I also think because of the style of game we play he will struggle to contribute as much as he might in a side that moved the ball quickly into the forwardline.
It a massive problem IMO our negative game plan entering our forwardline. And the only way that will change is if the coach changes because he has been doing the same thing the entire time he has been at the club.

The problem is we play the Hawthorn gameplay without the Hawthorn skills or at least with a much more stagnant ball movement. Lockett, Dunstall and Ablett would all struggle in our forward line. We played our best football when we played the North style last year. Fast movement into the forward 50m directly and not giving the opposition backs to outnumber our forwards. Also, not aiming for the pockets where it is impossible to kick a goal might help. :whistle
-
I am comfortably satisfied McBean would be handy as a backline player or swing mark
-
I suspect Chaplin will actually make a good forward alongside Jack and Ty. If he plays 20-odd games down forward I wouldn't be surprised if he kicks 30+ goals.
-
Oh my god
-
Didn't say I want him in the 22 - if I had my way we would have swooped on at least two KPP's over the off-season but we didn't. But we all know Hardwick will not drop Chaplin so TBH I'd be happy to see him play F50 instead of D50.

Chappy turned 30 yesterday :birthday.

Liked McGuane. Limited ability, big effort player, like Kingy.
He played 21 games as a forward for us from 2012-2013 and kicked 35-20.
If a bloke is your third tall behind Jack and Ty and he bags 35 goals/year I think that's a win.
And consider how cheap McGuane probably was for us, whereas Chaplin was paid big $$$ to come over from Adelaide.
-
I thought McGuane looked much better as a forward than a defender.
Had a real purple patch for us ( as the third tall )where his numbers stack up well.
It was the right decision to delist him though at the end of 2013 .
-
Mcgaune was not über soft
-
Amazing how slow Chappy is
-
Chaplin SHOULD NOT be playing Round 1!
HORRIBLE! HORRIBLE! HORRIBLE!
-
Two touches on a half
Three in three quarters.
Significantly the worst player in the side
-
Should spend the year at VFL level for mine. Forward he is not.
-
Is McBean injured? Why wasn't he given a run instead of fart-arsing around with this useless old hack?
Dimwick all set to repeat last year's Morris mistake until we're up shyte creek after 6 rounds again....
-
Has the turning circle of a cruise liner and the skill of a suburban hack, should have done everyone a favour and retired last season. Can see Hardwick having a Newman type soft spot for old Charlie. Will only get dropped if injured and will cost us games he is such a liability forward or back.

Only saw the first 3 quarters but Geezuz.
Just terrible. :thumbsdown

You'd hope McBean is injured otherwise it's a very ordinary decision to play Chappy forward for the second game in a row when he offers nothing and has no future there.

I liked how he was easily pushed out of a contest at half back got the free kick and then kicked it into the man on the mark......classic Chaplin :clapping

I have it on good advice he knows he's past it, but thinks his big body and pushing around 2nd-3rd best defenders is (in his eyes) a massive asset.

At least we'll know where he is heading, his deficiencies and he can take the tallest target as he is our tallest backman.

Probably true but if he's struggling in the reserves how is he going to go at senior level? A dud pick up is a dud pickup and FJ failed with this Jayden Post wannabe.

Elton in for me.

Why was Chaplin played forward? It simply doesn't work. At on stage he was up back and did a beautiful pass to Rance who then did a great kick forward only have Hunt stuff it up. My thinking is bring back the backline from last year - Chappy, Rance, Bachelor, Vlastin, Houli, Grimes when he's recovered and alternate with Macintosh & Morris. Definitely ditch Hunt and Astbury is too injury proned
-

Cause he's a lazy soft usless gimp that leaks goals consistently expose the soft tigers underbelly when played at te back
-
Why was Chaplin played forward? It simply doesn't work.
They were talking about this on 3aw today. Playing Chaplin forward is an admittance that he can no longer play in the backline and thus he shouldn't be in the side.

The guy is shot.
Maric is shot.
Someone needs to shoot Hampson.
Three lame players in one team makes us so uncompetitive in today's game it's not funny. :whistle
Add Vickerys refusal to chase more than half arsed and its 4 lame players
Vickery is the laziest player in the afl. Yet what would he be on? 400k? 450k?
Imagine getting those sorts of dollars for doing whatever the hell you felt like
-
Just Gaspar him and upgrade Callum Moore.
-
Send him to the glue factory
-
Time to try something new.
With Rance and Grimes out we should be using Elton and Broad, alongside Astbury (fml I know).
Desperately need to raid some clubs for KPD's this off-season.

He's a dud but FMD somehow he looked better than he does forward. That's not saying a lot though

If you all understood what options we have eg Astbury or Elton
I play Troy before them

Seriously
He doesn't play on the opposition best tall forward and probably takes there 3rd tall
Does his job
Last minute of play his effort to free up to the running Morris was superb
We don't have a replacement for him anyway
-
Stop trolling FFs
-
Seriously
He doesn't play on the opposition best tall forward and probably takes there 3rd tall
Because he's a poo truck. Hasn't got the mobility to play 3rd tall and is stealing the spot from someone like Grimes who is suited to it
-
Stop trolling FFs
:lol
-
When ask about media criticism recently Chaplin
He said "what would they know" ... If only if he could teach chosen wife suck a stoic attitude
-
I think there is better chemistry with Rance/Grimes/Chaplin than any combination which involves Astbury.
Having said that I hope both Troy and David are shown the door at the end of the year.
Lets face it ....Astbury does not have another level to go to.
Hopefully the club can recruit a ready made key defender who is AFL standard.

Disagree. Rance, Grimes and Astbury have played limited time together and therefore have not had a chance to build up a chemistry. There is absolutely no chemistry between Chaplin, Rance and Grimes- a classic example of this was when Franklin goaled in the absence of Rance. Chaplin knew Rance was not on Franklin at the time and should have covered for Rance but he did not. Astbury clearly has more upside to Chaplin but I accept that unless Astbury produces this year he will be delisted.

He dropped countless gettable marks(even Brian Taylor made mention of this) and laid a clumsy tackle which led to a goal to the Swans. His game against the Swans was poor.
-
Was happy to get Chaplin to the club especially as a free agent. I had hopes that we finally had a bloke with the right physical attributes 195/100 to play 1v1 on the real big key fwds.
In his days at P/A he had performed this role at times and did okay. but he mostly played as a third tall type. How foolish of me to think we could teach this bloke to play to what should have been his strengths. After so long playing a certain way i should have known he would not change.
His first year or honeymoon period was decent for us. There after the things that had P/A supporters jumping up and down did not take too long to manifest themselves with us.
For me he is one of the most disappointing recruits we have had. He is slow soft unaccountable and has woeful footskills.
The only thing more disappointing is the fact that we have not had better options to replace him. In fact we have managed to ignore a critical list weakness since before Chaplin came.
-
How many times has bachelor played on someone far too tall whilst chaplain stands around y him self and points at people ffs

For all his flaws, Astbury's match last night was superior to anything Craplin's served up since 2013.....took some impressive marks under pressure....
-
Astburgers seems to have good strength and a decent pair of mitts. Decision making and speed are the concerns.
-
Was iffy but I'm jumping on the Astbury to the forward line wagon. Showed he's got some good mitts but still looks slow when trailing his man

Between Chaplin and Hammer they really are treated unfairly, even when they do something really good and have very good games they still cop it... stuff its becoming pathetic.

Snip! Discuss the topics without the personal insults ppl!

Yes I also think Astbury was very good, I like him, have been withing for him to return to the form he had before his injury.....so you can pretty well STFU...
-
If his job is to resemble a hairy pointing Statue tn indeed top marks
If his job is to play football e failing horrible
Put it down. Send it to the knackery

We know it will be his last year so move on. Go and start up giving crap to the players that will be there for longer, regardless of how well they play.

I think Astbury played an okay game against the Bombers and should retain his place. Therefore I do not think they will rush Chaplin back into the side.

Chaplin announces retirement
richmondfc.com.au July 19, 2016 3:49 PM
Richmond defender Troy Chaplin has announced his retirement from AFL football, effective immediately.
Chaplin will remain with the Tigers, in a coaching capacity, until the end of the year.
The 30-year-old informed the Club’s playing group of his decision on Tuesday afternoon.
He played eight senior games this year, taking his league career total to 215.
Chaplin played 140 games in nine seasons at Port Adelaide, before joining Richmond as a restricted free agent at the end of 2012.
Richmond General Manager of Football, Dan Richardson, thanked the veteran defender for the excellent service he has provided the Tigers with throughout the past four years.
“Troy has been an outstanding contributor to the Club over the past four seasons,” Richardson said.
“He has been a fine role model for the playing group with his determination, professionalism and leadership.
“Troy has always maintained a high standard of performance, highlighted by his top-three finish in the Jack Dyer Medal in 2013.”
“We are delighted that he has agreed to remain at the Club in a coaching capacity. Troy has a great football brain and there is little doubt he has a bright future as a coach."

Absolutely.
Thanks.

In this so called "amazing speech" I was waiting for an apology but sadly it never came. This is 12 min of my life I won't get back. ......but he's a good bloke.
The reality is he was shot before he arrived at Punt road, his body was already gone, something he admitted to all in this "awesome speech" I just watched. This would explain the reason he struggled to jump more than 2 inches off the ground when trying to spoil the ball but still doesn't explain the clubs incompetence in trading for a player already past his use by date. ..... But he's a good bloke.
I will say in his defence I think hes one of the best body blockers I've ever seen, could stick that arse in the path of opposition players like no other, which helped make Rances job a lot easier because of it. :clapping ..... And he's a good bloke.
Fact remains that in your career most feats are forgotten in the light of greater efforts or performances come finals time. As good at arse blocking our man Troy was unfortunately he will be remembered for one thing and one thing only.......

‘I used to hate you as a coach’
Herald Sun
20 July 2016
RICHMOND defender Troy Chaplin has announced his retirement from the AFL, effective immediately.
Chaplin played 215 games, moving from Port Adelaide to Richmond as a free agent at the end of 2012.
He played eight games this year but hasn’t featured at senior level since Round 11 as the Tigers turn their focus to youth.
“The body’s just not been able to handle as well as what I would have liked this year, and as a result my form’s dropped off a fair bit and it’s probably a good time to be able to walk away,” Chaplin told his teammates on Tuesday.
“Mentally I’m still there but unfortunately the body just can’t will itself to do it any more.”
Chaplin thanked his parents, wife Lisa, coaches and staff in his farewell speech, and made a candid admission to Mark Williams, who coached him at Port and then moved to the Tigers as a development coach.
“I used to hate you as a coach,” Chaplin said to laughter from his teammates.
“I’d always ask myself why I do nine things out of 10 well and you’d show the one in the meeting. It used to frustrate the hell out of me.
“Once you left I realised how good you were, and you’ve had the biggest influence on my career.”
Troy Chaplin celebrates a goal against his old club in 2014.
Richmond football manager Dan Richardson described Chaplin as an “outstanding contributor”.
“He has been a fine role model for the playing group with his determination, professionalism and leadership,” Richardson said.
“Troy has always maintained a high standard of performance, highlighted by his top-three finish in the Jack Dyer Medal in 2013.”
“We are delighted that he has agreed to remain at the club in a coaching capacity. Troy has a great football brain and there is little doubt he has a bright future as a coach.”

Poor bastard has possibly a bright future as a coach but has to learn from the worst career ending coaching factories of all time. Good luck with your coaching career Troy. :rollin
-
I thought he was pretty solid back in 2013 - as did many on this forum . Fished 3rd in the B & F that season.
It gradually deteriorated after that - looked really ordinary when Rance was out injured.
His legacy will always be tainted by that brain fart in the Elimination final . What was he thinking. Unfortunately that stupid act was the turning point in that match.

Single handly destroyed carrers of once promising astbury and elton

Wouldn't of thought so

You guys are obviously missing the big picture. Chaplin has always had this clubs best interest at heart. Coming from a club who were going past us at a rate of knots. Taking the best big defenders because Rance didn't have the capacity to. Improving the leadership culture to one that is now admired by those within the know. Proving the difference to get us into the finals after a long long drought. Giving players like Astbury the chance to stay in the VFL and develop his game. To now making salary cap room for a big fish like
Treloar Prestia or Hurley.
What a guy :clapping

RETIRED Richmond defender Troy Chaplin will make his senior coaching debut this weekend.
The 30-year-old, who called time on a 215 AFL game career for the Tigers and Port Adelaide last week, will take the reigns of the Oakleigh Chargers in their TAC Cup clash with the Northern Knights at Preston this Sunday.
Chaplin has been a specialist coach with the Chargers, who have won the past two flags, for two years.
He will plan and take training tomorrow and Thursday night at Warrawee Park.
Chargers coach Mick Stinear said Chaplin had made a profound impact on the squad.
“Because he’s been living and breathing footy every day, the biggest thing has been the technical side of his coaching,’’ he said.
“He’s learned a lot off Choco (Mark) Williams at Richmond and has been able to bring that to our young guys, working in small groups, one-on-ones and breaking down the key position roles, how to use your body as a defender or forward, leading patterns and that’s been his strength with his coaching.
“As a person we’ve had a few players do bits and pieces over the years but Troy’s buy-in has been outstanding. From his first night at training, learning all the players names and remembering them the next night, all those little things have been terrific and he’s always made the players feel really valued.
“He doesn’t get a penny from us, he’s put in an enormous amount of time.”
Stinear expects Chaplin to be in a full time coaching role next year.
“I think as a development coach initially Troy’s got a lot to offer and can relate to the players really well, the demands of the game and what’s required,’’ he said.
“His knowledge of the opposition as well is still really strong, I’m not sure what’s happening at Richmond, but I would’ve thought 17 other clubs would be keen to get a hold of him because he’d be so valuable.
“He’s definitely got the skills to be a senior coach.”

Has he reached the level of being a fantastic person though? Thats one or two pegs higher than being a great bloke you know! :shh

Mate, they only recruit fantastic blokes.

This is fantastic

Not sure, could actually become a decent coach one day. Would need to learn outside of Richmond though ;D
