Transcription
Early career
Chapman played junior football for the Joondalup Kinross Junior Football Club and attended Prendiville Catholic College.[1] He played for West Perth in the West Australian Football League. Known for his intercept marking skills[2] and speed, Chapman ran the fastest 2 km time trial at the 2020 WA draft combine testing.[3]
AFL career
Chapman made his AFL debut in the second round of the 2021 AFL season in Fremantle's win over Greater Western Sydney.[4] Round one of the 2022 AFL season versus Adelaide saw Chapman receive much praise for his 'game-winning Intercept play' in which he spoiled an opponent's kick on the goal line conceding no score with just seven seconds left in the match. With just a point the difference had the ball been rushed through for a behind the game would have been a draw.[5] Chapman received a 2022 AFL Rising Star nomination for his performance in round 8 against North Melbourne at Optus Stadium.[6] Chapman finished the home-and-away season having played fifteen games, and featured in both of Fremantle's finals appearances.
