Stats
Bio
Recruited from the Lincoln Stars, Keith Chapman was a lightly built wingman who earned his opportunity with Essendon during the 1955 season. Standing 178cm but weighing just 63kg, he relied on elusive movement and outside run to compete against the physically imposing bodies of VFL football. He broke into the senior lineup midway through the year, making his debut against Richmond in Round 12, and held his spot for six matches, contributing a single goal. Unable to cement a long-term position in the Bombers' lineup, he left the club following his solitary season and later transferred to the VFA to continue his career with Coburg.
