— HOLD

Chapman put up 84 in Freo's 43-point demolition of Essendon — some blowout discount applies but he was named best on ground by the Freo faithful and 27 above his 57 BE is a functional scoring round. Cash gen at $2,390/wk, season average of 75 at $385.7k. The consistency from a career-best 115 in R6 through to now has been quietly excellent. Hold with conviction — he's not a sell and he's not a buy upgrade; just a solid DEF asset doing the job.
