About: Wade Chapman

Wade Chapman (born 3 January 1976) is a former Australian rules footballer who played for the Sydney Swans in the Australian Football League (AFL) during the 1990s. Chapman is often remembered for being the player that passed the ball to Tony Lockett in the 1996 Preliminary Final against Essendon, resulting in the full-forward's after the siren heroics. He was on the wing in the Grand Final but could only manage seven disposals. In subsequent seasons Chapman was hampered by injuries, particularly with his groin, and he left the club in 1999. Although picked up by Port Adelaide in the draft that year, he did not play a senior game for them.
