It sounds to me like we should expect the same sort of pathway as Adam Cerra."Chapman shone as a key and intercept defender with West Perth at colts and league level but Bell also rates the 192cm big man’s ability to play on the wing.
The 18-year-old clocked the fastest 2km time trial at the WA draft combine in October, and the ninth-fastest nationally, at six minutes and 20 seconds.
“Heath had a couple of exceptional years with West Perth, he’s a fantastic athlete and we know he’s a very good runner with a 6:20 2km time trial,” Bell said.
“He’s a quick intercept marker and with that athletic profile, even through he’s played a lot of footy in defence, there’d be no reason why he couldn’t play wing, possibly forward and, long-term, maybe even as an inside mid."
- for those having a whinge about picking a tall defender at our first. Bell (and team) doesn't see him playing back there much.
Start back, ease up to the wing, a little bit inside. Absolute domination in 2021.
