Would rather see him get a game than gifting Aaron Edwards more games.  If he performs, its a win, if he doesn't, well see Aaron Edwards.  Nothing to lose.

Need to develop him into a CHB in the mould of Carlisle.  Could be our answer to the big forward gorillas.  Nothing to lose as the kid is a good grab and is very agile for his size.

Swap him for Hampson, don't care if he doesn't get a possession

Guys I reckon you are being way to harsh on chaplin at the moment.I think he has turned his season around

I respectfully disagree

A marked increase in his competitive levels, combined with the capacity to play a variety of on-field roles, has given developing Tiger ‘tall’ Todd Elton a real chance of making it at the game’s highest level.

He’s spent the past two years working on his game at VFL level, but Richmond’s senior development coach, Mark Williams, believes he’s now making good progress and an AFL return isn’t far away for the 21-year-old.

I did not see him last week but have seen him in other games and has shown a bit. Might have had a really poor day.  Is a very good size now and can take a grab.

I've only seen him live 3 times this year and in all 3 games he's looked right out of his depth even at VFL level. Yes he can take a mark hence the Jsydrn Post comment but he really needs to start getting more involved, just doesn't look like he wants to be out there IMO...

Chocco doesn't look convinced to me.

That's because his dream of playing AFL has disintegrated. One game in 3 years has not encouraged him to try harder...

Looked a bit lost the 1 time I saw him play in the VFL. He did have a pretty good game for us in the NAB at one stage though didn't he?

Can take a mark and has a bit of mongrel but can't read the game at all and has no real feel for it, is also absolutely useless at ground level, can't kick for poo and has hardly improved in three years. Next.

Should have filled the side up with his type a few months ago and we would have snared the top draft pick

Would still play him ahead of Hamspud.

I'd play Jack Dyer's corpse before Hampson.
