News Troy Chaplin Retires

[tribey]

I'll never forget that time he was responsible for conceding just about every goal we kicked in the first quarter of the Elimination Final.

Went out pointing fingers like a champ.



Vale.

The master of the inspirational pregame speech. What he did for the Tiges to fire them up for that elimination final will never be forgotten by Port Adelaide supporters.

Thank you Troy.

Who?

 

[Powerade 08]

He single-handedly lost us so many games. The worst pressure player in AFL history. Good luck to him.

Goodnight sweet prince. At least you'll always have your memories of all those Richmond finals wins you played in.

We should get him back to the club as a traffic cone.

Gee I hope his team mates send him a text telling him how he can be a better whatever it is that he is going to do in the future than he was a footballer. He could be used in presentations as a pointer

When he left I was disappointed, but the way he left wiped that away quick smart. His then exploits in 'aeroplane-gate' were the tipping point to my hatred of him. An arrogant fool, who showed no respect for the chances he got at our club. Good riddance Chokelin, you got what you deserved with 3 massive failures of seasons at Richmond.

He does say he played at "two great clubs" and thanks Port Adelaide. Interesting to hear him say he wanted a trade to the Tigers at the end of 2011, but they didn't get the trade done. I don't remember that happening at all, which makes his comments about players staying at the club back then even more hollow.

"To choco as well, to the seven and a half years at Port, I used to hate you as a coach. I'd always ask myself why I do 9 things out of 10 well, and you'd always show the 1 thing wrong in the meetings and I used to whinge to Ladey and Tredders all the time..."
