Chapple was already 27 when he began his Footscray career, having previously played for Eaglehawk in the Bendigo Football League, before moving to Melbourne for work reasons.[1] He was one of three Footscray players to appear in all 18 games of the 1926 VFL season and was their joint leading goal-kicker with 42 goals, sharing the honours with Allan Hopkins.[2] A representative of the Victoria "B" side on two occasions, Chapple was the leading goal-kicker outright in 1927, kicking 32 goals.[3][4] He was cleared to Yarraville in 1928.[5]
