Been thinking about this

Actually can see some huge upside bringing a bloke like Chapman in

Certainly a leader but also a terrific team mate could teach the kids a lot especially having been at Geelong which we all know is a great club
Yeh but we prefer Port, Adelaide and Melbourne, so we might need him to go there for a year first.  :shh

Jake King on a one year contract.  Continue ranting.  Hate to let facts get in the way.
oh boo hoo. we did sign him mid yr why not wait till the end of this season before offering anything.we did the same with newman as well.even if we wanted to tap them  on the shoulder and suggest they retire we cant.
if keeping these two is the difference between being able to keep martin and  have a real shot at adams or longer then i will spew.

id love chapman at the club but can we justify him and white king and nahas.  simple fact is we could do away with the others and just keep chappy for two yrs while macdonough develops.an enormous upgrade on those hacks yet we probably wont even look at chapman and keep both white and king.

Nahas is gone. King & Newman had good years apart from injury.

You are kidding Monk.

Newman is finished, should have been pushed out if we had any balls.

Provides absolutely nothing

King 1 year only. The rest of those types are for the tip

Well Newman did seem to miss a lot of easy shots on goal. Maybe he should be on the chopping block with McGuane, Nahas, Helbig,  ;D He may retire yet.

If Paul Chapman can fire up his team mates to dominate the Hawks for 4 years, who knows what he can do to get the Tigers over the Blues and kangaroos?

Whoever gets Chapman would only be budgeting for 30 games out of him over 2 years with fingers crossed that a few of those are finals.
If Dusty can get $500k without having achieved anything, what will a triple premiership, 2 x AA and norm smith medallist cost?
$700k for 1?
$1.3m over 2?
Would you pay it?

His body is shot

I love chappy but surely cannot give him big bucks...

That said if we are willing to give the like of mcgaune and grigg ridiculous contract I'd rather it done for a quality player
