Troy Chaplin [merged]

[1965]

Greg Denham was on SEN and he thinks its certain.
At the end of the day I just want to see the club make the right moves, if this is one of them the grat one. And if not what are other suggestions for our KPP's??

Cloke

Fine, should just go after both then. Anyone else whilst were at it?

Josh Caddy would be nice.

 

[WA Tiger]

Hahaha I thought I said in another thread we should go after all 3, anyways RFC, time to move!

With all 3 the dynamics of our side would change dramatically......for the best...l

[Coach]

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?

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.

Fair enough old fella

[Yeahright]

That wasn't so hard, don't know why others can't just admit they have never seen him play

tom sundberg vfl collingwood mid 24 yo ?? has all the attributes to be a decent afl player just needs an opportunity imo.

thats still 9 aged 22 and under so we cater to the long term.
but we get 7 who are deemed mature recruits having been in the system for a yr or two  or older than 22.

No club would have the room in the salary cap to get Cloke, Caddy and Chaplin.

[Coach]

Chaplin wouldn't be making what McG is. Caddy is a kid

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.

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."
