Chaplin became more of a man on man defender from about halfway through the season when it was obvious it was ridiculous seeing Rance get hammered by Cloke while Chaps was playing loose. think the penny dropped and saw him standing big fwds plenty in the run home. Talking too much poo coach, lotta hate
No hate, just dealing in facts. You didn't answer my question(s). Were you expecting a monster full back like everyone else on here? And name me the top forwards that he has beaten. It's not that hard. Well, it is actually....
And before someone else has a crack, I'll say it again. I was more than content with his recruitment and I have said he improves the backline, but that's not the question at hand 
You blokes should be on your knees. It's clear my description of him from well before he was recruited is absolutely spot on.
Here's to the Coach 
3 cheers for Coach!
Let's go Coach!
Regards,
Coach
Are you done?
You didn't ask me any questions, but for the record, I expected him to rotate on the big fwds and was hoping he wasn't going to play solely as a loose man. We have others who should do that. Just bc someone plays a particular role at another club doesn't mean that cannot be earmarked to change elsewhere.
I don't care what you and other ignorant posters say, I know what I saw - the penny dropped for the coaching staff after the pies game where poor rance was isolated on Cloke and torn a new one whilst chappy was running around playing loose man. In the second half of the season he has stood Roughead, Tippett, rotated on and off pavlich/Clarke against freo and petrie against North. He has also played loose at times bc hes good at it and he wasn't need structurally in some games like GWS, GC, Essendon, so don't give me this BS that he doesn't play man on man.
