Geelong veteran Paul Chapman says a meeting with Chris Scott has gone well but believes he may have played his last game for Geelong.

Writing in his regular column for the Geelong Advertiser, Chapman said in the meeting Scott was respectful.

“I need to give the club credit.” Chapman wrote.

“I've been hanging out for a meeting of this type and it was handled really well by Scotty, which I knew it would be.”

“He handled it with dignity and respect. He was as respectful as he could possibly be.”

Chapman believes that the semi-final clash with Port Adelaide may have been his last for the club.’

“As it stands, I'm starting to think I have played my last game for Geelong. And that hurts.”

“But no matter what happens, I'm not going out whingeing. I'm not going out sooking.

“I don't want to be remembered as someone who left kicking and screaming, I want to be remembered for what I did on the field.

“Whatever happens, I just hope it's done with respect from both sides, which so far it looks like it is.

“How this is all handled from here will be really important.

“If I am to leave, I want to leave Geelong happy.”

In the meeting, Scott intimated to Chapman the club would be looking to the future with list management decisions this year.

“While nothing concrete came out of the meeting, I left knowing where I stand in their eyes. The important thing is nothing is 100 per cent locked away.”

“They told me how they're building for the future and how they're looking to give young blokes opportunities.”

“From that angle, it would appear there might not be a spot for me next year - a few things would have to fall my way. But there's still hope.”

Chapman said if the Cats choose not to re-sign him he would look to continue his career elsewhere.

“Obviously I'd love to play at Geelong next year but if they don't want me, I'll want to keep playing because I've still got things I want to achieve. The fire still burns, I still feel like I can contribute, at least for another season or two.”

“I felt I really contributed against Port Adelaide and I was absolutely shattered I didn't get the chance to play Hawthorn.”

“If the boys beat the Hawks, I'd be playing in the grand final today expecting to play well, so I still feel I have something to give - I wouldn't be playing otherwise.”

“I fully understand and support the youth policy, but we also can't lose sight of the immediate job at hand, too.”

“This year I had a great pre-season but unfortunately we hit a problem with the hamstring, which is fixed now.”

“If anything, I feel the three months without playing has helped freshen up my body.”
