Legendary forward Ron Coote was named the 14th Immortal on Wednesday night, and now Will Chambers is set to join him — in a category of his own.
Cooper Cronk, who was one of the 11 new inductees into the Hall of Fame on Wednesday night, sat alongside Chambers on Fox League’s Super Saturday panel.
Speaking to Melbourne coach Craig Bellamy ahead of his side’s clash with the Dolphins on Saturday night, Fox League’s Jake Duke asked the big question.

“We’ve got a couple of Storm legends on the panel today, Cooper Cronk and Will Chambers. What do you think Will would get into the Hall of Fame for, trash talk?” Duke asked.
As for Bellamy’s response? It was equally legendary.
“I’d go a little bit further than that with Will, with his tash talk, not quite sure the Hall of Fame,” Bellamy said.
“Let’s just make him the first Immortal of trash talking. Will, you’d kill that mate, no worries.”
Bellamy’s assessment left the panel in stitches, and the man who played 323 games under the master coach immediately chimed in.

“I hardly ever disagree with Craig Bellamy and I 100 per cent believe that should be true,” Cronk said.
“Number one Immortal and the one and only to ever make that list.”
For Chambers, he denied claims he was one of the game’s best ever trash talkers. But even the gun centre couldn’t contain his laughter.
“No, no way. I speak respectfully, humbly. I’m just a gentle kid from the bus,” Chambers said.
