There are plenty of strings to Chamberlain's bow, though he has mostly been regarded as a spearhead tall forward throughout his junior career. With athleticism and strong contested marking capabilities, he presents as a mobile marking target who can provide connection up the ground. His speed allows for separation on the lead, while his springy vertical leap is more than useful when crashing packs.

Chamberlain throws himself into contests, wearing contact without fear and usually plucking the ball cleanly overhead. The same competitive spirit applies to his ground level work, following up in dynamic fashion to either recover his aerial spills, or apply desperate defensive pressure. He's quick and clean below his knees, while also proving capable or laying fierce tackles or diving for a desperate smother.

Another of Chamberlain's desirable traits is his kicking. A classy left-footer, he tends to make terrific decisions on the fly and can pull off inboard passes without fuss. He distributes the ball in darting fashion, capable of using his vision to hit sharp short kicks, or showing his power to drive it long down the line. Such play is evidence of his high footy IQ and skill, especially for a utility player over 190cm.

All of the above combined lends to Chamberlain's versatility. On top of being a competent tall forward, he has had plenty of exposure to the wing role and even spent time down back with the Allies. His ability to switch positions can help get him into the game when struggling to do so deeper in attack. He looks towards Mark Blicavs for inspiration as a player who can perform several actions across several roles.

While the upside in Chamberlain's profile is significant, he still has several areas for improvement. In a production sense, he seemed to lack confidence at times this year and that led to wavering consistency. Durability plays a factor in that given Chamberlain had a couple of setbacks early in the year, and didn't end up testing at the National Draft Combine. He has all the tools, but just needs a clean an uninterrupted run.

Part of compounding Chamberlain's impact on games comes through his scoreboard impact and marking. He has sought to become an even more regular goalkicker and lift his accuracy in front of the big sticks. In a marking sense, he can continue to develop his understanding of the length of the ground, tweaking his timing to get in the right positions ahead of the ball and read it better in flight.
