Last year he was certainly a good player. Geelong probably let him go a year to early but this year he didn't seem quite as switched on. But then again half the team didn't so who knows how he could have gone with the team playing well.
 
Thanks Paul for your service at Essendon over these dark times...You will always be remembered as a Cats champion and for what its worth you should have been awarded the Norm Smith medal in the 2007 grand final.

Also..I look like chappy.....and on a few occasions random Essendon members have given me high fives when leaving our matches...saying great game Chappy (in jest). My kids loved it!

I reckon Geelong cost themselves a shot at another flag in 2013 getting rid of Chappy and Pod at least a year too early. What a star he was at his prime. Well played Chappy.
 
Was very important for us last year.

And as Jack Package said, it's what he's taught the kids that is as important as anything.

He'll always be a Geelong legend but his time at Essendon was worth it too.

Well done, Chappy.

Onya Chap :hearts:
 
Did exactly what was asked of him....game against North in finals showed the team what big time footy looks like. Would have been a great get if we were a better team.

Will be remembered fondly.
 
Cheers Chappy
 
Seems like a decent bloke as well as a terrific player in his day. Walked into a difficult situation with us, but think Geelong made the right decision at the time. Need quality people like him around the club, hope they may keep him on in some coaching capacity.

Thanks Chappy!
 
Great career but utter disaster for us. Was instrumental in a few wins last year which delayed the inevitable collapse. Without Chappy we'd be 1 year ahead in our rebuild.

The response and applause he got from the supporters after a few good games was like the coming of the messiah. What a complete embarrassment.

He took up the spot of a kid on the list. :confused:

1 less developing ruckman, small forward, etc, etc.

And earlier in the year you set top 4 as a pass mark for this club. Now you're complaining about one player setting back the entire rebuild. You keep reaching for that rainbow.

Moronic comment.

Was sensational for us last year & arguably our best player in the North final.

Sure his body packed it up this year, but his training standards/leadership/advice that he's passed onto the group are immeasurable & something that hopefully manifests in coming years.

He cost us a cup of coffee ffs!!

Adam Cooney for #37 on the other hand is a different story.
