  • After Richmond's claim to him expired, he nominated for the 1992 AFL National Draft, and was selected by the Collingwood Football Club with the No.
  • 10 selection.
  • However, it soon emerged that Chalmers had engaged in draft tampering: in an attempt to get to Collingwood, he had contacted most other AFL clubs and told them that he would remain in the SANFL if another club drafted him.
  • In response, the AFL issued Chalmers a huge $30,000 fine, and made him ineligible to play for Collingwood for three years.Consequently, Collingwood traded Chalmers to Adelaide.
