Stats
Bio
Hailing from the Goulburn Valley town of Nagambie, Alf Chapman was a turn-of-the-century recruit who managed a brief tenure with South Melbourne. He earned his opportunity midway through the 1900 season, making his debut in a comfortable victory over St Kilda at the Junction Oval, a match noted for the Bloods' wasteful 5.22 scoreline. Chapman retained his place for the following week's clash but was unable to cement a permanent spot in the side. His career at the elite level concluded after just two senior appearances, typifying the transient nature of football lists during the VFL's formative years.
