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."
