Please leave the club and do us all a favour. This club needs an inspiring captain who drives performance and results, not a nice guy who drives nothing. Cheers, Bidzy

Ouch

rumour is he has signed with GC

any confirmation?

 

[Zach Package]

Yes, he was a gun inside mid. As mentioned above, he won a BnF and AA honours in that position.

I think you’re both right. He played some fabulous footy there but it’s also the reason he’s broken 3-4 years before his time, he shouldered a lot of physical load when he probably should have always been more of a running, marking, kicking type.

If there was, the thread title wouldn't need a question mark

 

[Oraaaaazio]

No, not yet he hasn't

 

[Barunga Bullet]

Pardon the intrusion, but heard from someone who would have a bit of knowledge around this that Heppell will stay with the Bombers for 1 more year then retire after 2023.

Wish him well on his journey.

Its time,

Pardon the intrusion, but heard from someone who would have a bit of knowledge around this that Heppell will stay with the Bombers for 1 more year then retire after 2023.

That seems fairly likely. Not sure how serious the interest was from GC, Heppell's manager might be making more of it to try and up the contract offer from us.

 

[BomberFan355]

I don’t even think there is an official offer from GC yet.

was his name HeppellFreak?

 

[Barunga Bullet]

their name has Heppell in it though

 

[The Donners]

Nor will there be.

If Heppell signs on for 2 years with GS then Dew’s papers would be well and truly stamped.

That he went to Ibiza to chaperone the youngers speaks volumes, unfortunately. I think he stays next year

He can’t get them to do what they should on the field, is he really the right person to be chaperoning them in Ibiza?

Got to say I’ve met this guy a few times . Commands respect , a great presence and genuine interest in people .
sometimes people surprise you , I can’t speak highly enough of him .
No doubt the right person.

are you talking about his Ibiza work specifically? because that’s kind of secondary at this point.

Nope. Can't see him watching 25 bottles of water and screening for the guys at the bar as they make a play. Not happening.

Apparently the playing group asked David Myers to join them on the trip and recreate his famed blocking role.

 

[FlyingV]

Hope we keep him for one more year. Was good at the end there, and is a great leader. My god we are in no position to wish away our leaders.

However CAN see him talking security around after they threaten to toss Risha and Ratha for constantly piggybacking each other around the club

They also wanted Zaharakis to make space by sticking doggedly to the far side of the dance floor even though it would make it hard for him to get much of the pills

In a nightclub setting I think Zaka might be more lure than decoy.

I want him around the contest with Damien Peverill brought in to patrol the fat side of the dance floor.
