"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!
