[Footy_Fan2007]

Winty, I remember we lost the game when Andrew Mackie played his 100th. Not sure when exactly it was though.

I think that was agaisnt collingwood?

excellent statistics and really opened my eyes in regard to just how good he has been in September

He has kicked 29 goals, 14 behinds total in the 6 seasons of finals and although it's averaged out to 2 goals per game in finals....if he stays fit heading into this years finals and can replicate what he did in 2007 or 2009 for example then those averages are gonna be looking very decent by the time he retires considering he isn't a full-time full forward or pocket player.
Only Gary Ablett senior stands alone with an incredible 4 goal average in finals footy, haha damn so you can basically pencil in 4 goals in the 1st week of the finals if he were playing 20 years in the future. I hope we can begin saying that about our next gun forward in a few years time
But statistically, Chappy is one of the best finals performers in the AFL today

Nothing most of us wouldn't already know, but the Herald-Sun has put together a short piece in the lead-up to Chappy's 200th.

Paul Chapman has come a long way from his angry days

AN early spell in the VFL taught Paul Chapman how to channel his anger about a tragic event in his life, on the way to 200 games.

I like this quote, coming from a player who has only known Mark Thompson as a senior coach:

"As soon as I shook hands with Chris I knew what sort of person he is. I'm very confident time will show he was the change we needed to have."

Go Chappy, and go Cats!

Congratulations Chappy on 200 wonderful games.

Would Chappy now make a GFC best team of all time? He would have to go bloody close.

Not to mention that he is probably the best looking player in the game. That is, in my unbiased opinion.

Lovely article about Chapman and the last decade at Geelong by Harms.

Suddenly teeth are done and stories are being read and Dad has some peace and quiet as the Cats run out. There’s Chappy. Chest out as always. Muscle-bound and roly-poly in a fit sort of way. Battle-face on already. The disarming smile nowhere to be seen. The brow jutting. Preparing for the 200th time. What a player!

My favourite non-Demon player. Just a pure footballer who excels at every facet of the game.

I wish the Demons could swap Nathan Jones for Chappy.
