Chappy.....

[21goals4]

Gee , can someone please tell me the reasons again we wouldn't go after Chappy?

 

[Put a Lids on it]

He's old and injury plagued.

 

[WATiger86]

Wouldn't have made a difference - would have kicked it to his ankles or over his head anyway!

We really have butchered our inside 50 entries in the last few years.

Just bomb it to the pocket!

Lennon...

10+ years of Ben Lennon...

Lennon...

 

[Turka]

And wanted 300K min, 50 more than Hammer, who is far more important right now.
Comfortable with it.

 

[Tiger_4_Life]

Because its round 1 and he'll be out for 4-6 by round 7

 

[Bojangles17]

Talk to me if he plays more than 12 games,

 

[kadda]

He could be handy in our back line though....

 

[tigertaskforce]

Talk to me if he plays more than 12 games,

THIS !!!

 

[theflea]

Because he is 32 and will be finished before we are trying to win the flag, add in his contractual needs makes this a no brainer for me. Completely wrong player for us.

 

[tigs2010]

Because he chose essendon...

Why didn't we chase that Jab Watson bloke instead?

 

[Bird Man]

nah we dont want a winning culture at our club NO THANK YOU VERY MUCH

 

[Barry_Badrinath]

Because he chose to join his fellow dopers

 

[Greggy]

Already looked like he'd twanged his hammy late in the game.

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

Goes against our hair policy at the club.

 

[juss]

He's old and injury plagued.

This. He's got probably 1 year in him left, he's just as likely to be out for 6 injured next week as he is kick 6 goals.

Was not the right fit for our club. The Bombers needed him, if they get infraction notices to players they needed AFL standard players. They know he won't play more than a year, maybe 2 if his body holds up miraculously, he is an insurance policy.

Lennon...

Apparently played a half in the VFL last night and picked up 16 possessions.

 

[Bojangles17]

we gotta create a path for the likes of lennon, arnot, Lloyd and Gordon, we cant be recruiting 32yo that will effectively deny them a spot albeit he would hold his own. Good young players need opportunities or they'll walk

 

[Ambrosia]

Surprised that you guys haven't mentioned Chris Knights. He's the reason that Richmond didn't recruit Chapman as he already fills the same role and is significantly younger.

 

[tigs2010]

We could have used his foot skills off HBF. Could have released Rance to FF and get rid of that hack Riewoldt. No more need for a decoy.

yeah, good point, he s in the frame with king for a return this week,

The good thing about players like Chapman and Knights is they rarely miss an opportunity to nail a goal.

 

[Handsuper47]

Could have thrown him in the ruck.
