Paul Chapman?

[Andyy]

He won't be worth anything near that, and he's surely not getting paid that much over his last few years.

Would be cheap you'd think given his age.

[DCrane]

There is age and bad hammies counting against him.
On the plus side there are a few clubs interested, he has some big time AFL bling and it's a seller's market.

[Hellenic Tiger]

Does he want to go into coaching post footy career bc if so and he gets injured and its long term it may be prudent of us to put him in as an assistant. His skills, knowledge and leadership can only help our still developing squad.

[Loui Tufga]

Give him a year! If he keeps King out of the side for 12 months its a win for us

[Judge Roughneck]

Fair call

[TigerLand]

Give him a year with a 2nd year trigger if he plays 18+ games.

[yellowandback]

Give him 3 years but basically option him as a player for years 2&3.
If the club doesn't think he can fulfil years 2&3 then exercise the option that triggers him to be a development coach.
Same pay but for different roles at the club.
Gives Chappy some medium term security job wise and gives us flex to use him where he can make the biggest contribution

[Phil Mrakov]

The bombers want him so bad. If we show any interest he will come to us for 50k less than what is being tabled up at the bummers. Absolute rabble that club.

[RedanTiger]

If Geelong do not offer him another contract, he becomes a delisted free agent and can sign with who he pleases? Is he already a free agent?

While Chappy is a free agent we must get Geelong to do a trade for a very late pick, like they did with King and Playfair and we did with Morton.
Otherwise we stand to lose the compensation pick for White.
Compensation picks are only granted on the basis of losing out on balance of incoming and outgoing free agents.

[Penelope]

good point.

Does that still apply if they de-list him?

De-listed players automatically become unrestricted free agents 

[Phil Mrakov]

The Geelong board on bf is saying that he's finished at Geelong after their offer was meh and Richmond offered him something much much better.

[tony_montana]

Worth the gamble for sure, quality

[Phil Mrakov]

Worth the gamble for sure, quality

Plus he will turn Mcdonahugh into a mini Chappy

[gerkin greg]

will probably win our B&F and goal kicking from only 15 games
