2013 Player Profile: Paul Chapman

elephants · September 09, 2012, 11:09:14 PM

Paul Chapman - Geelong Cats

Position: FWD/MID

Price: $460,900 (Fanplanner)

2011 Games: 20

2012 Games: 20

2011 Average: 102.1

2012 Average: 97.4

2012 Tons: 10!

Summary: Despite the persistent concerns about Chappy's hammies he's only missed a total of 5 games over the past 3 years! Clocked up massive numbers for a fwd in 2009 and 2010 with 112 and 113 respectively and has only dropped below a 100 average twice since 2006 (once of which, being this year). An incredible servant to the Geelong footy club and an incredible servant to my DT over the past 4 years. Thanks for everything Chappy, lets do it all again!

Verdict: He is the second most expensive forward behind Buddy... But how can I say no?

Ele's prediction: A final hurrah for Chappy and the Cats next year - 100.

Been a consistent performer for me over the last 3 years...but will pass this year unfortunately.

Ricochet · September 10, 2012, 10:31:54 AM

won't be starting with him with all the cheap forwards next year but might be an upgrade target

Windigo · September 10, 2012, 04:57:48 PM

Possibly the last year he was worth selecting...But could do a Gia and fall off the face of DT calculations altogether. :-\

Upgrade target most definitely!

Not for R1 but watch his form early on and could be in my team just before/or after the bye rounds.

Haha, I meant that I wont start with him, but will look at him as an upgrade target if he is still averaging 95+ :)

Think il start Johnson over him and upgrade to if still going well

Ajax22 · September 26, 2012, 10:27:16 PM

It makes me a little nervous trying to pick one of Chappy and Stevie J. It seemed this year that one would get more midfield time and score well whilst the other would be stuck in the forward line scoring 70s and 80s. I might be wrong but did anyone else feel like there was only ever one midfield spot up for grabs between the 2 of them?

Shihan7 · October 17, 2012, 01:10:12 AM

Would much rather SJ over Chappy, but most likely going neither :P

elephants · January 29, 2013, 02:56:09 AM

Nup not for me. Too many better, younger options...

Sorry Chapperson :)

Windigo · January 29, 2013, 11:01:19 AM

Broke his own PB in the time trial.....

essendon2 · January 29, 2013, 11:29:10 AM

he's a better option than Stevie jay I reckon
