He hasn’t played well in a while, his first 5-6 weeks were good. Since then he’s been average at bestLook I get it but he has played well this season for the most part
He has, and we won't.I'm sure some posters will come here and say Heppell has played well this season for the most part.
I just don't see how we are winning important, finals intensity like games with him in the team.
Horse for courses, right? I think he’s vulnerable at the G and a much better player in the sterile environs of the Docklands stadium. I feel like he gets exposed a bit more at the G.I don't mind him playing if others are out. Kelly and redman for example but we are gifting him games at this point.
We need to move past the guilt of drugs saga. Doing nothing until we do.
Tries but just not agile enough.
We are year 2 into an 8 year plan but we are afraid to throw a kid like Robert’s into the ones. Look at Humpries for Geelong. We need to see a few of them over Hep surelyI’m not sure what we get from playing him. As decent as he was for the first half of the season there’s nothing he’s doing that someone else couldn’t do. Leadership? Can’t say he does anything particular inspiring. It’s a nothing selection each week that could be better spent developing someone.
You'd have him poisoning the minds of the next generation of players?The last great thing you can do for us Dyson, is spending the rest of this season teaching VFL kids.
Thanks, but it's over.
Unfortunately for us he wants to go on again and the club will no doubt give him a year.If he was self aware he would retire and free the spot up now.
He has played well overall this year but tonight was hard to watch. He was poor.Look I get it but he has played well this season for the most part
