Yeah, I’m still picking Logan over anyone in that draft. Sydney’s line-up doesn’t do him any favours either, playing a ruck/forward and Buddy alongside him.

I think you might be correct. I thought Young played as good a game as Chapman on the weekend I just feel Chapman has a slightly higher ceiling

Let the cobblers do the cobbling
Chapman and Young have different strengths, are both stars and love them regardless
Didn’t take long for his form to pick up. One rusty game and then did a lot of good things on the weekend. Classy, strong, agile, great vision. Will improve as he adds strength and still only played a handful of games.
HBF or midfield, that is the next question.

"While Chapman has locked in a spot in the backline, Walls can see the 20-year-old taking on a number of different roles in the future.
“He didn’t play forward a lot as a junior but we think he has the attributes to do that,” Walls said.
“Time in the midfield is also an option both inside and on the wing. He’s still very young, he’s learning the position he’s in and he can lock that down and know it inside out, but in time he’ll be able to go through the midfield, play inside and on the wing no worries as well.”
I reckon he will be on some big $$$. Imagine Young delivering to Chappy on the wing

Another good one tucked away for the club.

So good this news! It's an interesting way to go about it, the way he's signed on, it's almost the opposite of the model where a player will link themselves to a few other clubs to raise their value and then sign on again for maximum $.
I suspect they gave him a good offer up front. His value is very well known to everyone at this point.

Unfortunately, that ship has sailed. We can barely fit Ras and Johno in.
Saw him spending a fair bit of time on Saturday playing on (learning from) Bont..

Gun. Only his second year and is clearly best 22. Onya Chappy for the long term contract.

I pull it from logic. The only chance of playing in the midfield would be playing him as a winger and even than that's tough. He would have to fight Noddy, Johsnon, Henry and Acres for that spot. I think he would be an awesome Bont type of player but Ras gets the centre spot ahead of him for now.

Says who though? There's a multitude of variables that need to play out there that you/we're not privy to.
Great news and a good sign that he’s locked away relatively early on for what is hopefully less money than he might have been demanding if he signed 2 year contracts at a time, between now and 2027. A good sign from the point of view of our future salary cap, that is.
Wonderful. He is a gun.
Chappy’s big deal!

Just another example of the club releasing the news about a signing after a s*** performance on the weekend to wallpaper over the cracks. It's clear they just wait until after a loss to announce these signing so people forget what garbage the team dishes up on the weekend. Well done, yet again, Freo publicity/media team! It's well documented on this forum that this is just a distraction for all you weak minded supporters. "Oh look, a bear."
Did I get it right?
I fully expect the club to manage it's public image. The alternative to doing that is pretty ugly and something we have experienced before.
In the meantime, congratulations to Chapman and the club.
