Retired #21: Dyson Heppell - Goodnight, sweet prince. What a legend! 🤙 - 24/8

[Lore]

Contract Status: Unrestricted Free Agent 2024
My Boy Draft 2024: Pick 27, Highly Evolved

 

[Jade]

I wonder how small his head would look if he ever gets a hair cut.

Weird.

 

[freddy mercury]

Looks to have put on some size.

 

[The Donners]

I predicted last month that Heppell will win the B and F in 2013 or 2014.,

Well played sir!

Well played sir!

Gee that post must have been from around 2012.

February 25, 2011.

Hahaha

 

[boncer34]

I had a dream last night about watching the boys play Hawthorn. Heppell killed it.

 

[kelvin_sheedy]

imo tracking to be our second best player behind Hird over the last 20 odd years.

Criminally underrated by our own. Born leaders are worth more that any other players out there and I've read on other posts that they swap him for guys like Lynch.

Crazy stuff.

 

[GUMBLETRON]

Has a long way to go to have the impact Watson did at his peak.

 

[Doss]

Is he actually underrated by our supporters? I'm not sure that he really is. I think we all recognise what a gun he is.

I see him as being in a quad with Hurley, Hooker and Merrett. They're our best four now.

By the end of next year you could probably add Daniher to that list.

 

[GUMBLETRON]

Daniher is clearly the most important player on the list, but hasn't put it together like those four.

 

[Mr_McBoogerBalls]

Tell you what though, Daniher isn't far off. Key forward in a team that finished 18th and still booted over 40 goals. Imagine how many he would have slotted if his goal kicking accuracy was up.

 

[Charliebrow 16]

Probably the player I'm most excited to see run out there again next year. Been my favourite player since we called his name out on draft night.

Ha. Yea I think people just forget pretty quickly. Was tracking to break into top 10 players in the game before the suspension.

I'll always take the A+ mid as good as lynch is

Fletcher? Lloyd? Watson?

Zach and Daniher are very close, in fact I think Zach is the more damaging kick.

Yeah i know...big call at this stage

I think he'll be better than all those imo. What he's done at this stage and how many games he's willed us over the line has been extraordinary.

key word: tracking

Heppell is tracking well behind Lloyd at the same age. It really not even close.

 

[The Bomb]

Wanganeen was pretty bloody awesome, not sure Heppell has overtaken him yet.

 

[table tennis]

So i will prefix this with he is an absolute jet. He does lack any penetration by foot and this will be the only thing that stops him elevating to "Hird" tier

 

[carnthedons]

key word: tracking

Tracking to be better than a guy that kicked 926 goals? I love Doise but that's a bit of a stretch at this stage

Wasn't my opinion

His kicking in the back half of 2015 started to get that penetration we all wanted to see, Definitely improving.
