[2] When the Brisbane Lions were formed, Chandler wasn't amongst the Fitzroy players that headed to Queensland, instead joining reigning premiers North Melbourne.
Chandler was not able to participate in the Kangaroos 1999 premiership-winning season, as he spent all year on the sidelines with a broken leg.
[3] He returned in 2000 but could only manage four games, the last of which was a 125-point loss to Essendon in a qualifying final.
He is now the coaching director of the Beverly Hils Junior Football Club.
