Troy Chaplin [merged]

[crackertiger]

Gave White far too much space and we paid the price on several occassions. We are really missing Rance.

[The Machine]

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.

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.

True this.

Liability. Must be dropped. Perma ban when rance is fit

Xavier the Saviour. STFU gimp. Chappy the Crappy. stuff off to Coburg.

[Chuck17]

Has all the intensity of pubescent girl

[Mopsy]

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

[🏅Dooks]

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

[one-eyed]

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

[Mr Magic]

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.
