Play on Chaffey.
Need this man in the side next year.
I can see us wanting Raines or Newman moving into a midfield role next season, therefor we need Chaffeys type down back. Raines, Chaffey and newman play a similar game (at different levels yes) and I think it is important we utilize the talents of Raines or newman through the middle as thats where we lack the magic.
Chaffey is a good player. Cant hit a target, always on the bottom of the packs. The amount of hits he takes that we just dont see. He has undisputably worked his butt off to get back into the senior team, and has held his spot ever since. As I said in a thread last week I would see him running laps of Punt Road oval while I shuffled into the MCG earlier this season. He could have put ona suit and went and watched the game but he just worked and worked.
I know Rory Hilton played the final 11 games once cracking the side again (and was one of our top goal scorers in the second half of the season, may have even been 2nd if I remember correctly) so just because Chaffey is playing doesnt mean he is a shoe in for a spot, but I think that Terry would be crazy not to give him atleast another season. Sets up alot of plays off half back and has a motor, runs the wings and can set up well from the stopages on the half forward line as well.
Ive talked him up here, because I think that he is in our best 22. He isnt keeping a kid out because he plays a role and plays it well, and offers more than putting an underdone kid in. That is the only reason why I think people would want him gone. he is far from an unskilled player and loves the club. Good clubman is Chaffey.
Its been done alot I know but what are your thoughts on Chaffeys position in the team? What do you think he can offer us as a player going forward? If you dont like him in the side please give reasons why.
